How are they? Are they a better match to the original Mego body color than their regular flesh bodies? Talking about the China versions here. Anyone have a pic of the two side by side?

They are not tan at all in my opinion, more like a deep ivory/light beige color. They are lighter and more yellowish than the standard FTC body.
They are nowhere near the orangish tan of a standard vintage Mego body.Last edited by PNGwynne; Jul 14, '18, 11:38 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -
Thanks so much, I almost ordered a couple, assuming they were "Mego tan", but the photo on their site looked weird, so thought I better ask. Glad I did.Comment

You're welcome. I ordered one as a test and decided I could use if for Kull foe Thulsa Doom (with a CTVT skull head). It could also be used for a vampire, mummy, or other pale character. It's definitely an odd color.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I prefer the made in China bodies from CTVT over the Doc bodies. They feel more classic Mego to me. Only issue is they are strung a little tight, but so are Doc’s. I just restring them with O-rings that have slightly less tension.Comment

^ I would tend to agree with this. One caveat: FTC bodies are slightly smaller (and DMs slightly bigger) than vintage bodies.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
