Reaching out to all our Little Rascals, Our Gang fans.
I'm pretty new to the Our Gang Mego line up so not sure on a few things, like how long did it run for? I'm assuming that it ran long enough to have had the change to the quality of the head material as some seem to discolor dramatically and other do not. Does anyone have any more general information on this line up?
The biggest question I have right now is around a straw hat for Buckwheat. Up until very recently, I have only seen carded figures of Buckwheat that have only the figure with his standard clothes. However, I came across a Buckwheat that happens to have a Straw Hat included in the bubble. My assumption is that this is a "first edition" version and the Straw Hat was removed later when the line didn't do as well as hoped.
Anyone have any thoughts as to how rare this would be? Or not? I'm working with the gentleman who is selling this to come up with a fair price for this piece.
Here's some pics.
