    I'd love to see a Lee Majors to go with it!

      I think the sculpt does look like her, for sure. I’m not sure what you guys aren’t seeing. It should sell well.

      Now, it makes it too bad that the Angels line doesn’t have licensed likenesses. Mego might have had a bit of a hit with them if they were.

      Anyhow, this one is a keeper! Hope it does super.

        Between Farah and Ali it's nice to see new card art.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          Now they're cooking. Two out of three must haves for me. The new packaging rocks.

            I think it looks like a very young, pre-Charlie's Angels Farrah when she was guesting on shows like I Dream of Jeannie and Partridge Family with the very long, blond hair. I don't think the hair looks like her famous wavy iconic hairstyle in the poster. Plus her bathing suit should be burnt red orange--not bright red like a Baywatch bathing suit. Come to think of it, she could possibly be a custom for Pamela Anderson!

              I love the card art! I like the figure, too. In fact, I still have that poster. Lol! My only concern is the eyes. No matter what pose she's in, she'll always be looking to the side. It'd be okay if she was to stay in the package, but for those who will open it, it may be an issue.

                There's so much right about this... the poster, the towel, the pose, the card art. This is gonna get peoples' attention on the pegs.

                I have a feeling that because it's Mego, it's under heavier scrutiny than if some random company released a Farrah Poster Doll in this scale.

                  It does have a good Farrah likeness. I love this. Very excited about this reveal. Hope they will do a Charlie's Angels version of her too.

                      I love the eyes

                      It has a 60's Ideal Posin' Doll vibe

                        I think she looks like a younger Farrah with less makeup than in the poster.

                          Mixed feeling here. Loose it will look closer to Pamela Anderson. The wrong color bathing suit is a big deal loose, it just throws it all off.

                          The female figures continue to get the short end of the stick imo, very mediocre heads. Compare her to someone like Norm from cheers, she's not as recognizable. Why is it so hard to get a women's likeness down?

                          New Mego has been fantastic! The outfits are unreal and you can't beat a true Mego body. Some heads are dead ringers, some have been way off. I think the paint is part of the problem, too many deco hits to go crazy with the makeup?

                          That's the one area that FTC shine in imo, they spend a ton of time and money on the headsculpts. Too bad they are oversized, definitely not perfect.

                            I certainly don't agree regarding FTC heads. Their female heads, unless copies of vintage Mego, are usually misshapen and their decos in general are often sloppy. So, both companies have their pros and cons.

                              Great looking figure but she does not look anything like Farrah Fawcett... Perfect for customs though...

                                I'm ashamed to admit--though I never paid close attention to Farrah--I always thought her iconic swimsuit was red. Of course, I also think SF Solovar is gray, too.

                                I'd like to see her hair little more styled; I think the accessories are terrific.
