    Mystery Megos?, can anyone help identify?

    Hello Mego world! Ive had a really hard time identifying these dolls. Found at a flea market in Michigan. Ive tried googling Jesus Mego, kato/ninja? mego. I've searched most of the mego museum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The martial arts one has a dragon on his back, shortpants. both have articulated hands, knuckle wrinkles, finger nails, toe nails. The belt on the ninja one is just a zip tie. the jesus?/Moses? one has bloomers/underpants. Both the costumes have velcro on them. The ninja has made in hong kong on the right foot. the jesus/moses has no markings.

    I would appreciate any help with history or identifying these figures.

    Thanks! -Dave

        I have the other guy in a different outfit. Let me know if you find out who he is.

          Jesus' buddy is a Ninja, similar to the LHT Australian releases but I'm fuzzy on the maker. They came on a ponch colored T2 style body with the torso's back markings buffed out of the original mold instead of the LHT/Aussie Tong style bodies.
          That ninja line was sold mail-order in the 80's, not sure if they saw store release or where, and they came in sculpted mask and removable mask styles (Buddy here is the removable mask type). I believe they only came in white and in black, unlike the tong which also came in gray (so two head sculpts for these, with three paint versions all together - 1 black hood, 1 white hood, and the removable mask style are identical).

          I sold a white pair of fabric and sculpted mask versions on the forums a few months back... Here's a pic (I'd swapped the bodies to standard Mego T2 when I listed, and used the others for a project)

            Also Del - I remembered today looking through Lou's site that the head may be the same as the one used in the United American Karate figure... and that may be the identity of the manufacturer/distributor of the Ninja styles, but I have never seen them carded to know.

              I would like to thank everybody who helped me with these finds, especially Tothiro for sharing his expertise and knowledge.
              If anyone is interested in them we have these on ebay with a pretty low starting bid.
