        did Playmates make any fat bodies for any of the 9" lines they had? this head sculpt is too big for the 8" body but I bet it would look good on a transplant to a fat playmates body, if there is one.

            I don't think so, but Exclusive Premiere did one for Ralph Kramden

                    Too short, too thin, and headsculpt isn't right (the chin is much too big, for example).

                        wasn't exclusive premier smaller than Mego though?

                            some were, some were 9 inches. Honeymooners were bigger, so it would work if you can find one.

                                    do the exclusive premier bodies have the same neck design as the new Mego and the Playmates bodies? because otherwise if the Andre body size bothers you, seems the Kramden body would work pretty well, only trade off is the crappy forearm/hand design on those bodies

                                                            Yeah, that seems like a lot of work to salvage a pretty mediocre head.
