    Unfortunately, no it is not. I'm not sure, but I think it may be a new sculpt.

      If your looking for a SI Kent reporter's repro hat, Doc's got one on his site.

        Shucks. I want a repro, but a factory one.

          I have a FTC Clark Kent but I have to tell you that the hat isn't an exact reproduction of the original Mego one. The Mego one is slightly bent on the left and right side of the brim, the FTC one isn't bent at all and the hat is more round and I think also a bit more flat.

            ^That makes me wonder if it's a black version of the Wyatt Earp hat.

              Yeah, I just looked this up in the accessory check and it looks quite close to it. The only differences being black colour, soft rubbery material and it could be a bit shrunken, it seems to me not as big as the Wyatt Earp hat.

                I love Accessory Check. This black hat would be a good choice for Mego Zorro, then.

                Regarding size: I think, when reproducing vintage items, that FTC sends originals overseas for duplication and the copies are thus a bit smaller. That's why, for example, their WGSH repro heads are smaller than Mego ones, but their original sculpts are often bigger.
