Figures that used Mego as a base

[LonnieFisher]

This Rambo figure started out as a Mego t-2 body.

If you don't believe me, just get one in hand and compare it to a Mego body.

Mage and I think Madman both started as Megos.

I've forgotten a few, but will post more when I remember.

The Rambo figure had the Mego thighs cut in half and shortened, and the lower legs were cut a little shorter. The torso was made one piece.

I liked that Rambo line, when I was a kid...too bad they took it off of the market.

Never realized. So are the heads or arms swappable with a Mego body?

Marty Abrams created the Rambo line, sold it to Coleco.

So that's why Rambo accessories work so well with Megos!

Maxx FX uses a 9" Mego body.

Sectaurs use the same body style. Did Marty Abrams help develop that line as well?

[palitoy]

I've never heard of him being connected to sectaurs but it probably shared some designers.

The neck hole can be opened a little more and it's exactly the same. I suppose you could do the same with the arm hole, but the Rambo arms and heads won't work on a Mego body.
