Tin Man

[kennetzel]

Recently, for $30, I picked up a Mego Tin Man at auction. I got that one because there was a less quality one for almost $80, and I figure I got it at a good price. However, when it arrived, it looked like there were parts missing. He is whole, and not loose, but he is only wearing what looks like tights. No legs, no shoes, none of that. Are there supposed to be shoes and things? It came with a Mummy and Frankenstein that need restringing, which the seller said I could sell for parts. But if there are parts, where can I get them...I would love to restore him. Or I would glady trade the Mummy and Frankenstein parts for what I need. Thanks for any help. You can email me if you want.

The tin man should have all the parts listed in the galleries

Wizard of Oz Accessory Check: Mego Museum

For $30.00 you could probably get one mint in the box.

Tinman should be wearing a complete set of metallic gray plastic "armor":

-A barrel-shaped part with collar & shoulder pads covering his torso (this is glued in place and is only removeable by cutting/breaking, making the figure difficult to repair). It features a clockwork heart sticker.

-Arm sheathes with rivet detailing, slit to allow elbow articulation

-Thigh sheathes with rivet detailing

-Boots with cuffs & rivet detailing

He also has metallic gray hands.

The Mego Museum Gallery features detailed information and pix of character lines and packaging variations to help you identify figures; sometimes dealers are misinformed or unscupulous.

^^^ happens to me all the time

kennetzel post what parts just need in the Marketplace and offer your mummy, frankenstien parts for trade (with pictures). Someone might have the missing pieces for you.

good luck

Yes, I'm pretty sure I have some extra arm/leg armor...

You can get almost the WOZ figure in box for $30 and under.

Yeah, I see that here. I have been looking for a while. I collect toy robots, and I have no Tin Man figures...and the Mego is the most true to the character, so I have been shopping on Ebay. And, for the most part, I have not seen any good ones for under fifty dollars. So when I saw it for thirty with the Frankentstein and Mummy, I thought it was a bargain. But I figure if I can get what I need with trade of the Mummy and Frankenstein, it will be worth it. I took pictures of the two and will post them on the marketplace. I am not all that familiar with the two figures, but all arms, legs, heads and bodies are with them, so we'll see where that goes.
