Re-Mego of the Day: Chachi

[RSS]

During Classic TV Toys tenure, the company released a staggering amount of characters and variations, filling gaps in our collections that some of us had never thought about. One such figure was Chachi Arcola, which not only satisfied Mego collectors but the ever growing legion of fans of the movie "Zapped!".

There was a Bible man figure.

Getting back to Chachi, I don't think that figure looks anything like Scott Baio.

I was so excited about the Happy Days figs when they first came out....until I saw them.

The likenesses are pretty bad.

I agree that looks nothing like Scott

Hmmmm....

I thought it looked like Chachi would if they'd done a cartoon with him in it.

Was thinking the same thing.....looks like the guy that sculpted the Brady figures for CTVT had an extra head left over and they used it for Chachi.....

In fact, I think quite a few of the Happy Days sculpts were poor.....What was the reasoning behind the new Fonz/Richie/Potsie/Ralph sculpts instead of re-using the Mego ones? I think Mego captured a better Fonz likeness than CTVT.

Just realized Chachi should have had a bandana around his leg.....

If you remove the jacket, does his shirt have cut-off sleeves?
