Is it difficult to repair a Mego female body? Are they held together with rubber bands like their male counterparts? Also, how do the heads attach to the neck on the female body? Do they just pop on? I tried searching the forums for an answer but couldn't find anything.

there is a rubber band holding it all together. the head it attached to a neck plug which is held on by the rubber band -
Unfortunately, because of the way the upper legs & pelvis pieces are glued together, it is not possible to repair/replace hips & legs on female figures without breaking them. You can replace the arms, torso, & waist ball easily.
It is also possible to replace the leg rubber band with elastic, as a repair.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

There's a little hook inside the hips/upper legs. It's inserted from the outside with a plug on the end. I've had those hooks break and have replaced them by fitting the elastic through a bead. I'll get pics later.
I also think it would be possible to repair split upper torso and hip pieces using epoxy and clamps. The clamp might be the only way to connect the two pieces tightly enough.Comment
