    Nice figure for a great line. Mego did a really good job on the sweater.

      I never liked Richie's head/face

      He looks like a lost bad guy from either the CHiP's or S&H line

        And why didn't they make him a red-head. I do think that sweater looks pretty darn good.

          I got mine for a steal on ebay along with Ralph and a 2nd Fonz (already had Fonz). These guys were about as close to mint loose as you can expect.
          Not crazy about the face sculpt but not as bad as people say.
          I think he would've been better on a type 1 torso though. Too buff and the shirt is kinda tight in the chest.
          Still looking for a loose Potsie!

            Now that you mention it.... he kinda looks like SteveMcQueen's love-child.

                  Not a fan of this line, but Mego did do a great job on that sweater, I'll give 'em that

                    I'm definately not into this line. It's cool but it's just not for me

                        I never really hankered over this line, with the exception of the Fonz of course...I have a few of him.

                          I hear that to this day Ron Howard still ends all his arguments with the phrase--"Oh Yeah? Well, I was made into a Mego, how about you dumb *****!?"

                              I loved Happy Days as a kid, but only had Fonzie and the Jalopy. I would have loved to have had the others. That being said, the Richie sculpt is...off. There's some Ron Howard in there, but not really sure where they were going with the pursed lips. His eyes almost look like they are just painted on with no sculpting done. And his hair should have been much lighter. Great clothes though!
