Tarzan was one of the Megos I had as a kid. Couldn't tell you now if he was type 1 or type 2. As a kid, I just always thought he was a DC Mego (as Conan was a Marvel Mego) because DC was putting out the Tarzan comics at the time (they were regular reads at the barber shop but I didn't have any Tarzan comics of my own), and never quite put together the fact he was licensed by DC with the fact a toy company would have to license him separately. I think I got him because my dad was a big fan of the Weissmuller movies and Tarzan was one of the Sunday comic strips we would sit and read together (Phantom, Peanuts, Beetle Bailey and Hagar the Horrible were the others). I became an even bigger fan of Tarzan when the Filmation cartoon started, and still had my Tarzan Mego then. A few moves later and Tarzan was gone, a victim of the regular toy downsizing I had to do whenever we moved.

I was a huge Tarzan fan as a kid. I remember ditching the tan bodysuit as soon as I got him. He looked 100% better.
I also think the FTC Korak is a great figure. One of the best they've ever produced.Last edited by GlobalObserver; Oct 15, '18, 3:43 PM.Comment

I really like Korak, too. Even if one doesn't like the character, the trunks and accessories are terrific custom fodder.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

Usually there is a color variation, too, with T1 heads being paler/peachier and T2's being more bronzed/orangish.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
