Type-3 fat body
Who came with the type-3 fat body? I think there is a some misconception about this style body. Which characters had this body? Was there only one with it?

I've heard Grandpa Walton, but I had a Wizard of Oz straight from the bag with one...WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -
Ben's book says the type 3 was used for Boss Hogg only never on a hero.Penguin ,mxy, and the wizard are on the same body

I'm sure he did his research,maybe somebody changed the bodies on your figure.If you have the book check page 10.It says "there were type 1 and type 2 fat bodies and there is a third fat torso used for Boss Hogg,but it was never used for WGSH figures"Comment

That quote from the book is why I started this thread. I don't think it is accurate. I think more than one came with the type three fat body. My Grandpa Walton is 100% original with the type-3 fat body. My all original Boss Hogg figures have the other style, not t-3. Both of my Wizard from Oz figures have the original style body, too.Last edited by LonnieFisher; Jan 10, '10, 8:38 PM.Comment

The quote is accurate, but shouldn't be read with an absolute viewpoint.
It says that it was used for Boss Hog... not that it was the only one used for him, just that it had been... The quote also doesn't state that it wasn't used on other figures,... just that it didn't get used by any of the WGSH.Comment

all the nude Boss Hogg figures on ebay have the t-1 or t-2 fat bodies. I've seen at least three in the last week. I don't think anybody got an exclusive use of the t-3 body.

Ok, excuse my ignorance... I'm not sure what a Type 3 Fat Body is...
CustoMego Body Chart
On this body chart, are we talking about the "Mego Wizard" one?Comment

^Yes. It is a bit taller & less chubby...WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Because of that chart I bought two Wizard figures and neither had the t-3 fat body. I have three (I found another) Boss Hogg figures and none have the t-3 fat body. I have one Grandpa Walton and he has the t-3 body. I bought (and wasted money on) five figures looking for the t-3 body and none had it. So that is why I asked the question in this thread. I'd like to know who has the t-3 body and which figures it came on.Comment

T-3 Fat Body
I purchased a bagged Wizard about 10 years ago; just recently, I took it out intending to body-swap it with a T2 Penguin I own that has loose joints . I noticed that the Wizard body was a bit taller, so I assume it's the "T-3" body. So the Wizard did come on a T-3 fat body, but probably not exclusively.Comment
