Some LILI LEDY questions?

[piecemaker]

I don't remember if this has ever been addressed, but do the FF Ledy's have really short neck plugs like the Mego ones do? That might help address the head swapping issue. Any of you lucky guys with the Ledy fist fighters ever pop off the heads?

I'am not one of those lucky guys that actually has a Ledy Fist Fighter(or two),so i dont know about the neck plugs on them,but checking out the WorldMego Acc Check i see non Fist Fighter Ledys with both a long and short type neck plug.Looking at the Aquaman there,it also looks as if there were two different styles of the long neck plug.It looks like a combination short plug top and top plug bottom.

I have owned TWO Fist Fighter Tarzan Ledys. I sold one to Heath. I kept one. I have seen other FF Tarzan Ledys in other folks' collections. I believe rche has one. I know Luis has one. I'm sure Palitoy has one. There are enough known examples as FF Ledys to make it the rule.

And to confirm the SWAP/SWITCH that goes on quite regularly, as you all know, I buy this stuff about three times a week, and more often than not I find restrung bodies, mismatched whatzits and whoozits, and on and on. I have purchased Hombre de Hierro and Flecha Verde on the standard T1 bodies, too. So, it goes beyond just Tarzan. I think the issue is more about the DURABILITY of the Ledy Fist Fighting body.

If you have ever held one in your hand, then you will know immediately that it is probably some kind of odd stroke of luck that it survived the 1970's. It is very light and flimsy.

If you send one my way I promise I will hold it in my hand to see how light and flimsy it is.

Are you positive it never came on a regular Ledy body? If it's the second one... then why are they switching bodies?

Brian did a great job of creating the whole ForeignMego site. The job of filling in ALL the blanks is daunting.

I wouldn't get too attached to the idea Tarzan was released on a Standard Type 1 body. Though it isn't outside the range of probability, the highest likelihood is a swaperoo. Ledy Fist-Fighting bodies are extremely rare and possibly worth hanging on to for these Mexican sellers. Unfortunately, swapped bodies, heads and accessories is the rule with Lili Ledy rather than the exception. It's been a real effort to unmuddy the information.

Here's the best list of all of them: http://www.foreignmego.com/mexico.html

In the 1977 Ledy Catalog all of the Ledy figures were actually represented by Mego figures for the shoot. Mego Superheroes I 1977 Lili Ledy Catalog I Plaidstallions.com

I've been visiting the Foreignmego site for years. That's where I found my info after I got my first Ledy Spidey. I was just wondering what there is beyond what it shows there. It needs pictures of the Knock-off Thor that sold a while ago. Not everything is represented there. If two Tarzan figures sell on ebay with type-1 ledy bodies then it is very possible that he was released on that body. I'm trying to get a friend to contact relatives in Mexico to have them look for figures.

Yeah, that's the second time that a Tarzan Fist Fighter Ledy head has sold on eBay on a regular T1 Ledy body. Not an original combo.

How about a list of who they are? I saw a Lili Ledy Tarzan on ebay that wasn't a fist fighter. I thought he was only a fist fighter. So is there a regular t-1 and a fist fighter version of the other fist fighters? And No Ledy Joker has surfaced? Wow.

WorldMEGO will do them all eventually, but we're taking the time to flesh them out.

It doesn't bode well for the existence of Ledy Joker.

Some of the most persistent collectors in the world have searched in vain for Lili Ledy Joker. I'm of the firm belief he was planned, but never produced. There are still others who hold out hope.

I'm not going to make sweeping statements of utter certainty.

I like that saying.

I saw that auction and am guessing that someone pulled a switcharoo on the bodies. I've never heard of a legit non-fist fighting Ledy Tarzan, Falcon, Iron Man, GA or Riddler (or Joker for that matter). but with 35 year old Mexican toys where boxed examples haven't even shown up, I'm not going to make sweeping statements of utter certainty.

The Ledy Fist Fighters are: Tarzan,Riddler,Green Arrow,Black Falcon,Ironman and Joker was supposed to be a Fist Fighter too.

I'll do the best I can to answer this question.

There are 18 different figures, 19 if you count Fist-Fighting Ledy Joker...which has never been found.

There's 3 different body styles for the males, Type 1 Standard Body, Type 1 Fat Body and Fist-Fighter Body. Each one is unique to each figure. I mean there's not a Batman with a Type 1 Standard Body AND a Fist-Fighter Body.

There's only one style of female body.

[LonnieFisher]

How many different "Mego" figures did Lili Ledy release? The Ledy catalogs I've seen don't have all the variations I heard about and seen. Did they only have two body styles for the males and one for the females?
I have to say, I think the Ledy Robin head is better than the Mego one.
