Thread: My Spidey sense is going off on this one

    My Spidey sense is going off on this one

    Sorry if the seller is a member here, I just may be incorrect, but is anyone thinking what I am thinking here:

    Does it really matter what body this suit is on at this time? If it is incorrect, what will a naked T1 Spidey run you, $15? I don't see what WildStar is getting at though.

  5. Not only do cicle suits only come on T1's, and correct if I am wrong, and you wil be one of the very few in this world, A real circle suit will not fit on a T2 Body~

    Now I may still be wrong, but Circle suits are early and ver form fitting to T1's, if you try putting it on a T2, it will never fit properly, let alone snap in the back~

    Now I have only had 5 circle suits in my years of collecting, that rule was true for every one I owned~ The circle suit Spiderman was the 1st Spiderman I owned, when I started collecting Megos~ Well as a Mego novice, I did not like the metal rivet bobies, and all i had was type 2's, well i bought a beat up type 2 at a show and went to switch my cicle suit to it, and it did not fit the mor muscalar type 2 body. So I strectched and pulled, until the suit developed a big run in the middle and the snap ripped off~~

    Luckliy when I started collected megos, there was no difference Mego, no variations, hell, there weren't even variations in action figures, besides red and blue snaggletooth from star wars (Palitoy remembers those days, as he is from my generation)

    So at that point I had only runied a 15.00 figure~~

    So point being, is it a real circle suit, or is it one of those silk screen repro suits that was a few years ago~

    I'm claiming anything against the seller his feedback seems fine, just trying to give a heads to a potential buyer in this forum, with the knowledge I have~

    Perhaps someone else might be positive if a CSS fits properly on a t2 body~

    Wildstar~~

    As Wildstar has already pointed out, clothes designed for T1 bodies tend not to fit T2 bodies very well.

    If I remember correctly it was jonathan moore who made repro circlesuit spidey suits that were almost identical and actually fooled a couple of people with them.

    Sneaky cat.
    Doesn't state that the suit is original in his description. Only states that it's vintage and he can claim that the vintage tag applies to the doll, which it is even being a type 2 body.
    "Sold as is". Guess someone is in for surprise when they realize it's a repo/fake suit.

    I hate when sellers don't disclose authenticity. I guess it's the card that bidders are after?

    Here's my Diamond Logo Spidey on a type 2 body:



    So I guess that your theory about Circle Suits has been thrown out the window. I have recently put the Diamond Logo on a Type 1 body because that's what everyone says that it came on...but I did like it on the Type 2 body. Made it look a little more filled out. If anyone wants to bid on that Circle Suit Spidey, just ask the seller to provide you with a pic of the outfits inside. The inside of the Mego Spidey suits is white with the pattern of the what it looks on the other side of the suit showing. If I remember correctly (and I may be wrong...I'm not perfect ) that was the one way to tell if it was a Jonathan Moore scam special or not. Hope this helps.
