      I like these dolls, because we need more choices of female heads for customs!

        I'm wondering if maybe time played a factor in the way the head looks. By that I mean how much time did they have to get the head sculpted? Was it a rush job or did they take their time in making it?

          I do wish they had resized/reused the earlier Hasbro head sculpts, as I thought those were nicely done faces! That would have been really cool. I still think there has to be a "licensing / actor likeness approval" thing involved. It could be a timing issue, like jwyblejr said. Maybe they just didn't have time to get everything approved, or maybe they tried and didn't hear back. But it does seem like that explains the actresses not appearing on the package.

          But it is what it is... and I'm still excited for new Charlie's Angels toys. Now I want to watch the episodes again!

          I noticed people posting pics of the Zod and Wonder Woman figures that they've already purchased at Target, and the in-hand photos look so much better than the promo/prototype photos that Mego released. Perhaps it will be the same with Charlie's Angels. If not, well, I can add blue eye shadow and feather their hair if need be, LOL. I'm torn between wishing they'd gone with the Hasbro-style culottes jumpsuits and digging the pink sweater and flared pants. I've seen comments online: "Kelly would never wear that!" As if they've kept track of every outfit she wore on the show.

            I'm glad they didn't do the jumpsuits again. I have a "been there/done that" type attitude about that. I already have those Hasbro dolls figures.
            I don't have a problem with the new outfit, and I do think it's something similar to what she wore on the show--just not in the color pink. At least it's original.
            I might end up buying this after all because like you said, it's NEW angel toys, and they might introduce another angel in their next wave!
            She wore this purple sweater in one episode:


            And here are the white bell-bottom slacks.

              ^ I don't have the Hasbro dolls, just memories of always loving a childhood Farrah in that white jumpsuit and always liking the way they were released in matching clothes.
              So this would have been my chance for an updated version, yknow?
              But I am ok with the clothes she has on. It looks like an Angels outfit to me.
              I guess they could have put her in a slinky dress and a big hat, maybe some sunglasses as a disguise.
              Kelly was always the classy one, to me. Sabrina will come in a turtleneck. (Not that I don't love Sabrina, I do... it's just her trademark look, LOL!)

                Remember the "Angels on the Street" episode???
                Satin pants and Halter tops would've been nice outfits for breaking up a Mego prostitution ring. lol

                          I also love the suggestion of a Bosley figure.
                          Don't forget Elvira Mistress of the dark.

                              I think Bosley would be fun, especially if he comes with Charlie (a little speaker).

                              I do like Elvira. I wouldn't buy her, but she's always an amazing entertainer and would make a good figure!

                                The Hasbro Angels were unique, and I did think the likness of them were very good considering it was 1970's manufacturing
                                and 40 years later with better technology I would think we would have seen a little better improvement on sculpts, but heck
                                mego is back and we're getting Charlie's Angels and in actual outfits not jumpsuits.

                                When the other gals of the Townsend detective agency are released, Sabrina, Kris and Jill, I'm curious on what outfits
                                they will be wearing, someone mentioned a turtleneck for Sabrina which makes sense, Farrah might look good in white
                                slacks and white blouse, not sure for Cheryl Ladd maybe a jogging outfit? and of course good ole Bosely in shirt and tie.
