I bought this CIPSA General Urko off Ebay about a month and a half ago and just recieved him today.Unfortunately the bandolier he was pictured with in the auction didn't make the trip.My question is about the bandolier and the M-16.Are they the same as MEGO or are they different?The rifle does say MEGO on it.Thanks.

The rifles have small differences in the detailing, but I forget exactly what. I've heard that the bandoliers are basically the same, but I'd be interested in hearing a confirmation from someone who can compare the two. Those boots are definitely Cipsa, nice and shiny. BTW, nice Urko, I still need that one. -
What is it wth foreign figures and missing accessories? I'm still upset over my missing BASA Superman belt.
Nice Cipsa btw.Comment

Thanks everyone,i'm real happy with the great condition of him,kinda P.Oed about the missing belt.The seller has sold these before,but they always seemed to be missing that belt.This one wasn't and was the deciding factor in pulling the trigger on him.This transaction seemed destined to go wrong from the get go,it got sent back to him once because the box was so damaged?! When i recieved it,it looked like someone had stomped on the box,then the box was put in a big plastic bag and wrapped with about 8 rubberbands,the one end of the box was open,so i guess i'm lucky i got him at all.(And not damaged) I contacted the seller,hopefully he will find it laying somewhere and i'll end up getting it eventually.I have had things like that happen before.If not i'll have to find another belt for him,no biggie.Now the "missing" BASA Superman belt,that sucks bigtime,i would be highly P.Oed about that.Comment

I have two boxed figures with the accessories sealed and the bandoliers look the same to me. Although it is a bit difficult to tell through the plastic and I aint gunna break em open to get a better look!
The rifles DO have Mego stamped on them and I can't see any differences, although again, it is hard to tell through the plastic with other accessories crowding around. I suspect Mego supplied the rifles, and heads to CIPSA along with the molds that CIPSA used after scratching off the Mego copyright info. But I might be way off base with that thought.
The boots are nice and shiny inside the bags.Comment

Somewhere I have a comparison shot between the rifles. The lettering on the stock is different although they do both say Mego. The grip on the handle is different too but I can't remember which is which."I should say I`m very much cleverer than any of the people who put me here. As a matter of fact, I could leave any time I wanted. It`s only a doll`s house after all. Anyway, I don`t mind. I like dolls" - The Mad Hatter, Arkham Asylum.Comment

I went through al the MEGO M-16s i have and found 3 major differences in the checkering on the grip and the "MEGO" trademark. Coarse checkering,a finer checkering and no checkering on rifle grip.The rifle that came with this CIPSA Urko has the coarse checkering.I'm curious which style is in the sealed baggie that megoapesnut has. I'll post a pic of them in a few.Comment

The one on the left is the one that came with this Urko.The one on the right is interesting,no checkering,no H.K. and a few other differences.Comment
