    (dumb) question about the retro bodies

    Hi all....this may have already been addressed, but why didn't Matel use Doc's repro bodies, as used in his own EMCE lines?? Was it a copyright issue??

    just wondering.....

    Yes. I'm pretty sure Doc said that Mattel does not produce figures based on a design they did not create. They wanted a new body and new head sculpts.

          Mattel's policy is that the tooling has to be made by them - elminating any
          question of a conflict of ownership.

            I noticed Mattel used repro Mego WGSH boots, legal copyright?
            Wanted to buy pair original shoes for vintage WOZ Wizard
