ROFL... I can't believe this exists.

What an absolutely baffling decision.

I totally get what they wanted to make. I know the infamous episode. I get it.

But seriously... This is absurd. It just looked like some poor battered wife.

Probably should have just made a Marcia and included the football with it.

But I do find it amusing that they made this. Years from now there could and probably will be books written about some of these decisions.

I agree in the fact that I wish the Bradys are not themed figures (this and Greg in Hawaiian shirt). I would rather collect them all in regular appearances. What's next, Jan in a black wig? Just give me the Brady Bunch please!

[CrimsonGhost]

What's next, Jan in a black wig?

God, I hope so!!!

[B-Lister]

They should do Jan in a twopack with George Glass.

I am a little shocked that Mego would produce a battered female figure to sell at Target.

[LonnieFisher]

She's not a victim of violence. Not a "battered" female at all.

[toothaction]

Yeah, it's not as if they issued a What if Ralph Kramden really did what he said he was going to do Alice doll. Golly!

Probably made this version because it is one of the more memorable Brady Bunch scenes, and so they could reuse the head again without the "Battle Damage" for Farrah Fawcett.

But I already have George Glass

She would make a good CA Jill Munroe.

But it certainly looks more like that than Marcia Brady.

I as a Mego collector understand it represents the football episode but to shoppers at Target
it looks like making a joke out of a horrific injury.I work in a hospital and x-ray facial
injuries and it's no joke.This might be why we don't see Barbies with bruises, and cuts,
and looks bad in this Me too era. A regular Marcia would be a better choice for retail.

I agree. It's ill-considered and to me, bizarre.

[LonnieFisher]

I think the football should have been in the top of the package by her face.

[Megotastrophe]

Not a victim of violence exactly..but certainly a victim of trauma. Does the bandaid come off? Is the bruising just painted on? I could see this as an exclusive EE variant from FTC... And their Marcia was better looking.
