    Does anyone know what a SQUISHY HEAD MEGO Joker is ?

    Just a general question to see if I'm the only one that noticed or remembers this ... Im not sure if I have him anymore , I havent looked yet ...When I was a kid , long ago , im 44 .. ...I like most of us , ACTUALLY Fought with our Megos Somehow I had aquired 2 Jokers back then ( early 70s ) and constantly fought batman .... During these Combat sessions , i liked one Joker in particular , because his face was for lack of a better term " Squishy rubber " and i could liteally " punch his face in " ///as opposed to the other , which was typical to all the other mego dolls I owned ...I did travel all over europe back then , I lived there - its possible I picked him up on the way .... .. Does anyone have a clue ? ... or is this a very common thing , no one that I know, knows .... thanks for any info in advance !

    I seem to recall some heads being squishier than others, too -- maybe just production errors (i.e., not enough latex poured in the roto-cast molds that day's run), resulting in thinner surfaces and softer heads?

      I never really thought much about it, but I've had both types of Joker heads at one time or another.
      Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

        to much of a chemical called ELASTIN, this item mixed is proper amounts make plastics more supple and easier to mount on bodies . The mixing ratios and foreign factories lax rules of production. caused some unusual items IE: super soft G.I.Joe heads and Big head G.I.Joe
