AJ Spy Outfit question

[TrueDave]

By the way, I did have the Tarzan/AJ Spy knife made in China as part of
a black weapon mold when I had to tool the M-16 for the Soldier Ape.

I bought that set and it had eyeglasses which was great to make a custom Frier Tuck out of my friend Darren.

Just use a DOc Mego knife.

I would love to have a 8 inch adventure team GI Joe . The shoulder holster is a must. throw in a Aussie set and a Blackbeard head and were set!

Those AJ sets cost next to nothing, that to me is what makes them fun. Rip them open, there seems to be an endless supply out there selling for less than what they would retail at now.

Have fun. Clem

That's how I dressed nearly all of my AJ's. The boxes are almost ALWAYS crushed to hell so you really don't mind opening them. Of course there are always the dealers on ebay who must be smoking crack always trying to sell these AJ outfits for $25+++ each. I think the most I ever paid for one was $10. Most I got in the $5 range.

But Peter has a knife. So the custom needs to have it.

Sure. Sure. I just meant what to do after giving Tarzan the knife since John wanted to complete him.

Hi Gang,
So I got myself a really mint Tarzan awhile back but he is missing his knife so I have been looking to get an original 1 for him and as I was looking I was also getting into collecting AJ (Thanks Bry lol) I bought a AJ Spy outfit set and the knife in the set looks very much like a Tarzan knife and knowing Mego they are well known for reusing parts. Now here are my questions 1 is this the same knife they used for Tarzan and 2 should I keep the spy set intact and look for another knife for Tarzan or should I just complete my Tarzan with the knife from the set?

Thanks,
John

Here are some pics of the set:

Hard to tell from that pic but that doesn't look like a spy shirt. The sleeves look wrong and the waist looks wrong?
I assume he's holding a Robin mask since Bruce is holding a Batman cowl? Plus he has black shoes/boots, not the white shoes.
I wonder why they'd have them like that when they have no such items with Clark or Peter? It's not like they included those parts with the sets.

Superman and Spidey had no accessories to hold. Peter could have been holding his costume. Dick is indeed holding a removable mask. That would be a super expensive custom to make!

[LonnieFisher]

Personally, I would give the AJ knife to Tarzan, and use the rest of the Spy Outfit for a custom Prototype Peter Parker from the original advertisement
:-)

But Peter has a knife. So the custom needs to have it.

I don't think the picture of Peter Parker has him with the Shazam head. I can't figure out which head it is.

Hey that original advertisement for the Alter Ego's, shows Dick Grayson in "Don" clothes. All you need is the shirt from the AJ spy set, the pants from the motor cycle set and the cleats from one of the sports sets. Hhmmm, I wonder if from that advertisement is where MEGO came up with Don.

Also you may want to be aware that MOST of the AJ spy sets knives will have a pinhole in the blade from being attached to the card back but there are some that weren't pierced but STRADDLED with the thread thereby making them PERFECT for a Tarzan replacement knife.

Yeah, it's an odd choice for the Science Geek!

I don't know what's weirder with that outfit on Parker;the fact he's got a gun or the fact he's got a knife.

[sauce]

Totally great lookin' Alter Egos this way. Affordable! And not exact replicas of the real thing but not quite the real thing. This way it's a "what coulda been" Alter Ego.

Have fun!

Sweet. Thank You for the pic Bry. Now I may have to get hold of Paul and get me a Peter Parker head and make this happen
