What AJ's are on t2 bodies?

Nice

That is still surprising that he was sold in the US on a type 2 since he was dicontinued before the T2 bodies came out. Are you sure they werent replaced in the boxed ones you have? Going to have to work on this one obviously.

International doesnt shock me...awesome ad post by the way!

As stated already, the type 2 heads are darker than the type 1 heads. They also have type 2 neck plugs.

I've seen dozens of these type 2 AJs in case fresh boxes. You can tell by looking at the outfits that they've always been on these bodies.

Why would someone switch the bodies out, anyway? I suppose they could've wanted the Action Jackson bodies for something else, but most people prefer type 2 bodies. The type 2 bodies didn't affect the prices of the figures I saw, so that's not a good reason for switching them.

Man you guys need to relax and enjoy some turkey. He asked what would be an "official" AJ in a T2 body and clearly 99% of all US AJs were released on T1 bodies. As I originally said "Then again, we are talking Mego, so it is possible" and sure it is that they released some in the US. The math and years dont work out in the US, I havent seen one before, there isnt one on Ebay live or completed auctions or on the net on any of the AJ sites, but hey...I believe you guys. Good to know. I am human and was just trying to help.

Thanks for the info and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I don't see this as a heated discussion at all.

It's hard to say that clearly 99% of Aj's were released on type 2 because we're all influenced by the glut of the Canadian find. AJ was sold until '75, this catalog page from Germany is from that year. It's likely Mego produced additional dolls with this run and used them as a means to get rid of outfits.

We do have a shot on the Museum of a boxed one at the museum with a write up but I'll admit after I looked at it i thought "this should be bigger"

Not being as verse in AJ's, I appreciate the info. What I don't appreciate is that now I want to get some T2 AJ's in the box

That's a cool add, BTW Brian. Is that attached to foreignmego.com ?

[Megosean]

Sweet

Does that one have the tattoo statement on the box? Looks like that might be there, which wouldnt shock me that they would use the same box on some of them.

It should be but it isn't yet, I need to re do that whole Germany page once and for all. This is one of things I need to tell Scott exists so he can add it to the CSS.

so...there is a heap of vehicles and accessories for AJ that were only released in Germany? That ad, there not prototypes or any thing are they? I would love to get me that speedboat.

A lot of those vehicles are generic items produced by LJN, I recognize some of them from "Mr. Action" and Mexican G.I. Joe.

I finally got off my butt and took a large photo of type 2 AJ and his cardboard prison.

thanks for showing us that Brian, his dark skin makes him almost look Latin American.
