    MEGO THOR HAIR Question

    I know that with the Mego Conan figure, some of the earlier figures had short hair, and that all of the later one's produced had longer hair. My question is was this also the case with the Thor figure, or was it the case that ALL of the Thor figures produced had really long blond hair, and that those with "shoulder length", have all had their hair cut? Are there any examples of MOC short haired Thor's out there?
    Many thanks

    I don't think all later Conans had longer hair. My understanding is that both Thor & Conan had longer hair on the 1979 cards (Holcomb 196, 200). These would be last-run figures for these two characters.

    My first Thor was a 1979 issue; my second was a 1976 (boxed). The shorter '76 hair did not seem trimmed to me.

      Many thanks. Just want I wanted to know.
      Just a thought, but are the shorter hair variants worth any more, or does it not make any difference?

        I prefer the earlier, shorter versions, but I suspect value is tied to the packaging types and the vinyl cape variation for Thor.

              I'm glad they disclosed that, did it seem "off"?
