          Same - all original, and my congratulations on scoring those figures, especially the Space: 1999 ones! Very nice additions to your collection!
          "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

            I agree, and there's no Koenig repro that I know of.

                I had no idea there were Mego Space:1999 figures, let alone two waves of them! Growing up my older brother had the larger, clunkier, and distinctly un-poseable Mattel doll. The Mego figures look really good.

                  Just on UK-only Palitoy wave IIRC: Koenig, Carter, Paul Morrow, Zantor, & Mysterious Alien.

                  I love the Paul Morrow sculpt, have used it for a few customs, and the Mego Koenig sculpt is excellent.

                    The Mego/Palitoy figures were some of the best they did, IMHO. too bad they could not get the license in the states. CTVT did the line and really expanded the characters, but no Koenig, and they were cheaply made on their early bodies from India

                      As others have noted, they look original.

                      It's so cool to still be able to find Megos in the wild in the internet age!
