Darker flesh tone Green Arrow head

[wilbs518]

Did a lot of Megos have this darker shade head like this GA? I have never seen this before and couldn't find any info on the museum.darker flesh tone GA

That head looks very strange to me. The flesh tone seems almost like a re-paint, but the hair clearly has rubs. Also, the seller is pretty trustworthy so I doubt there's anything funny about the figure.

I didn't think there was anything wrong, just never saw that skin tone before. He looks like he could be the Falcons brother.

I sent greg a question asking about it ... reminds me of a couple old toys I've seen where the factory used the wrong color ... but sold them anyway lol. who knows might be a rare error figure

[Nostalgiabuff]

yeah I don't know. there seems to be a lot of shine to the face. looks like it is painted to me as well

Looks like an overload of Armor All.

looks painted to me,..seems the face was painted to cover the Zombie effect on some of these.

maybe fake tan cream? hum I wonder if that would work on a gray head

ok heard back from greg ... it's not painted he's had other heads this color, he said superman and robin are some ... and when he said robin i remember seening a robin with a very dark head like this before. He says it's about like how the heads turn gray ... but they turn this darker color instead.

you look at the rubs under the hair paint you can see it's dark also ... something that wouldn't be done if it were a repaint.

Greg is a guy who has enough bits and pieces that come and go through his hands he wouldn't use a painted head on a figure, he wouldn't have too. He'd most likely just put any painted heads in a junk pile and sell it in a lot, or toss them out.

LOL, like that old Malibu Barbie that used to tan in the sun?
Still looks awfully shiny...like Armor All.

On closer examination, check out the tips of the goatie... looks like a WAY lighter flesh tone.

Either a paint job or a degreying gone bad.

I don't know LadyZod. I enlarged the photo and the tips are just as dark as the rest of the head ...



given it could have been degraying gone bad, but I'm sure it's not a repaint. Greg might word his auctions in a mannor that could misslead someone who doesnt read his listings word for word ... but I don't think he'd sell a painted face mego without saying it was painted.

OK, maybe it's not Armor All. Could be KY jelly?
