Wow! No matter where I go to read/post about vintage knock-off, Joe90 is always there ahead of me! Joe, I've done the same thing, putting KO heads on Timelss, Cots, Gearbox, or ERTL bodies. About a year ago, I bid on some KOs, including a type-2 Fighting Yank and a Mintex guy with a copy of a Tommy Gunn head, He didn't know what the figures were, so with my bid, I gave him the background. To show his appreciation, he included the ramains of another figure he couldn't identify: a Galoob Man from UNCLE Ilya Kuryakin, whose body had become so brittle, it couldn't hold the head, anymore. I put the head on a Timeless body, and he's now sporting a Mego Joe Namath jacket and a tan porkpie hat (Civilian, not naval. Think SInatra) with a molded-in tape recorder inside the top. Now I just have to find out where that hat came from! I also now have two Mr. Action vehicles; The ATV and the Mobile Training Base. Neither is complete, but they're terrific artifacts of the era of Vintage Joe and his imitators.
