    Underwear Fashion Colors

    Arguably this is minutia but I still love it when something Mego comes up that's new to me. I thought I was familiar with all the T2 pelvis colors but I just got a Supes in a beat down suit for parts and when I stripped him down he was wearing this odd blue pelvis I've never seen before. I've seen two different shades of blue (one like midnight blue and one deep navy) and varying faded/damaged versions of both where the blue is swirled and bleached out in spots - but this (in the center of pic) is like an electric or powder baby blue. Much darker than Keeper blue. Like Cornflower blue to use a crayola scale.

    It's waxy (maybe a bit waxier than usual) but shows the same color inside and out and seems legit to me. How many others have come across this shade?

    I'll have to check my Megos. I think I might have one of those.

      I've got a bunch of them. Mostly, Kirk in particular seems to favor these undies. I also have a Superman and Captain America with these.
      I also have a Dr. Zauis wearing red underoos that always seemed odd to me. And of course, ChiPs Jon and Ponch have black fruit of the looms. I'm sure there are more colors out there!?

        My Treks from my childhood have the lighter blue, but a little less powder blue and a bit more aqua-y.
        It's all good!

          Well brown of course, green and *gasp* "nude"... This one photographed pretty dark in that picture - in natural light it's midway between standard navy and keeper. Like, just a touch lighter than Maersk blue.

          Come to think of it I don't know if I've ever seen white. I thought I did but now that I think about it I may have been combining the thought of LJN bodies in my color recall search... I had a dinah with white but I can't recall any "manly pants" being that color.
