Some LILI LEDY questions?

[piecemaker]

Yep, Two Type 1 and the rest are Type 3.

The Type 3 Robin suit without snaps is a legitimite suit variation. Somewhere along the way they said, "Hey, if there's a Vest covering the suit then why bother?".

That makes sense,i never thought of that.

Sewn shut Type One suits are interesting. I have some with snap sets, as well. The Type Three Superman with the clear button is obviously a homemade fix.
I dig the snapless Robin Type Threes. I would like to do a custom one with a little taller neckline and make a butterfly collar suit. Maybe if I put one on a Lion Rock body it'll work! LOL

I just looked at my Penguino and Mxy,the closure on his him looks just like the Aquaman i pictured before.

All this talk has got me curious, I'll have to check my Mxy and Penguin.
I remember being happy to find out about the type 3 Robins not having snaps, I thought mine were just missing.

What year was the WGSH line of LILI LEDY first sold? 74? 75? Also how many years were they sold?

[highquality]

The were first featured in the 1975 Lili Ledy Catalog:

Lili Ledy Catalog I 1975 I Mego I Mexico I GI Joe I Plaidstallions.com

and were also in the 1977 Lili Ledy Catalog:

Plaid Stallions : Rambling and Reflections on '70s pop culture: Lili Ledy

So, all I can assume is a run from 1975-1977. I'm not really sure of any other dates.

Ok Thanks Heath i wasn't sure if they were sold prior to being to being featured on the 75 catalog or after the 77 catalog.So the in 75 they sold the "first wave",the seven featured on the cover? Then in 76? 77? they introduced the rest of the line? It sucks they didn't have pictures of original LEDYS in the 77 catalog! One answer always leads to another question

Hey theres some back shots.Are those Aquamen all type 2 ? Do i see a hint of green in that middle Aquaman's belt ? Left side T3 Robins and right T1 and T2,right?

[piecemaker]

Is that an "A" belt on that middle Aquaman ? This Aquaman came with this style belt. I 'am wondering if this is how he came originally or if the shorts/belt were changed at some point?

I asked Luis this question specifically. He has a Type 2 Aquaman in the box. It has the regular crushed velour shorts (No velour Belt) and a rubber Ledy belt with an "A" sticker. We both assume this is correct for Type 2 Aquaman. He also said that he's seen plenty of Type 2 Aquaman like this one. Unfortunately, if they're ever swapped around, nobody wants to own up to it. There's really nothing to say this isn't also the correct version until a sealed boxed Type 2 Aquaman shows up with a velour belt. Yet, evidence tends to lean the other way.

Another thing that makes me think this is incorrect is the "A" sticker would have a hard time staying stuck to the velour belt.

[piecemaker]

Ok thanks Heath.

Aquamans got a new look,a belt to cover his velour one.

I love the Sewn-on "A" belt, so I use it for T1 and T2 Aquaman.

And something about the T2 Aquaman is just so different from Superman/Robin/Batman T2, that it really looks like a T3 more than a T2. Less ribbing on it, no?

Yeah,i like the sewn on "A" belt the best too. Is there a T3 Aquaman suit? I dont recall seeing one posted before,unless i missed it.
