    80s ReMego figures (looking for input)

    Looking for some input:

    I'm working on a video where I discuss the ups and downs of ReMego by decade, the first chapter is about the 1980s. This is the dark era where the 8" figure format is largely abandoned save for KOs and niche product and here are the 8" figures I recall from that decade, here is the list thus far:

    Multiple Toys Menudo

    Assorted Ninjas

    Rainfall toys and Wee Win bible characters

    Kidbiz Batman

    is there anything I'm forgetting?

    This mainly about the 8" format, I'll touch on the other recycling.

      Paco figures crossed over into the 80's. Not sure about Bogi or Tong… thinking about the historical figures getting early 80's releases?

        didn't Tim Mee toys do the western characters in the 80s? Lion Rock Monsters as well, or are you looking more for non-reissued characters only with this video?

          Are you just looking for re-used Mego bodies/molds, or any clothed 1/9 figures?
          The bible figures are LJN. There are tons of stuff but I don't think we're all clear which first appeared in the 70's or 80's.

          For example, did the Tong/Bogi bodies first appear in the 70's?

            A couple of notes that may or may not be worth mentioning, depending on whether you cover the bodies in detail:
            The Wee Win figures are slightly smaller than the Rainfall ones.
            The Rainfall bodies also started off with different parts (no wrist articulation, etc) before switching to the "classic" LJN ones we're all familiar with.

                Does Maxx FX Freddy count? It's on a 9 inch Mego body.
                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...
