Green Arrow head swap!

[MEGOMAN]

A new era of MEGO has begun!

lol, the old hair dryer trick might work as well. That is what I have always used.

Good ideal, I've used the hair dryer to fix JLU legs in the past, Thanks!

Have you tried to put an old costume on this new body? I'm curious to see if they will fit well.

[Mego Milk]

this is a great thread!

Is it just me or does Klingon Arrow look like GA's nemesis Merlyn? He just needs a black version of the costume.

I proceeded to remove the neck post from the new body. The head still fits fine but may feel a tiny bit looser. However, by removing the neck plug I made enough room to put a Mego head onto the Mattel body.



I put the EMCE Klingon head on the Mattel body. Its a bit tight. I can turn the head, but I needed to force it a little. I choose the Klingon head because it had a short neck plug. Heads with a longer neck plug will have to be cut down a little.

You can see the neck post in the upper right corner of the picture above. The hands and feet are also easy to swap out.

Here is the Klingon-Arrow all dressed up:

Mattel heads fit Mego bodies and Mego heads fit Mattel bodies?
The neck plug on the Mattel bodies are that easy to remove?
That's FANTASTIC news, I'm completely excited again with this new line.
See, if Mattel hadn't been all hush hush about all this there wouldn't have been so many complaints

These new figures have very small pelvis. How does that effect the stance of the figure?

[PNGwynne]

Hooray!!!

Thanks for this great post, no adapter needed!

Can Emce legs be added to the Mattel body?

Here is the new head and outfit on a type-2 Mego body.

I didn't see any issues. I could move the arms and legs normally and the costume wasn't too tight or baggy. The scale seems identical to Mego scale.

EXCELLENT job!! Good to know the Neckplug IS inter-changeable. My other concern was...would the Costume look baggy, but I can see that it fits GREAT! I'm happy now!

I still plan to try my switching just the "lower half" trick though...I like the bulked up Chest, Shoulders, & Biceps.

I find the poseability of the new figure to be pretty weak. The waist is kind of spastic. He can't sit or stand as well as a Mego.

That's not a good thing. Hopefully, as the design changes for wave 2, they could fix it. Poseability is key to any action figure line.

neck plug design is very reminiciant of MOTU figures. good to see that I can transfer him to a mego body too.

[TrueDave]

Thank you for showing the new body naked. I was curious after seeing the inset arms on the Lex Luthor .

NO SWIVEL ARM BATTLE GRIP????

BIG bummer!!!!!!!

[rche]

This is fun.

[theressa]

Yeah, this is cool! By the time I get mine, which is on the 4th, it'll already
be figured out which has the best "custom" look!

Thanks for starting this thread Paul!
