    Reference request - Our Gang size comparison

    Could someone do me a huge favor and post pics of Our Gang figures next to a regular 8" Mego male? If possible, I'd like to see Darla and one of the slimmer boys. There's one that always looks heavier, but I don't know if he actually has a different body or not.
    I'm looking for base figures for a custom, and just need to see if these will work.

    I can't help with pix, but there are two different OG boy torsos--the larger is used for Spanky.

    Does Darla use the slimmer boy's body, too?

      Is Spanky's torso a different height, or just heavier? I've never seen these next to 8" figures, so I was just wondering how high they stand next to one. Does anyone at least know their measurements?

        Darla is completely different.
        I'll try to get a shot of them up next to an adult Mego for you.

            I have Spanky & Alfalfa. All parts, including the pelvis, are the same, but Spanky's torso is more rotund--there is some "overhang" in relation to the slimmer pelvis. Mego love-handles lol.

              Which OG body did CTVT use as compared to the one Dr.Mego brought back? You could makes some comparisons there I would think. Do any of the Brady Bunch CTVT figures use the Darla body?

                Ok. Some ref pics of the OG figures.

                This is the OG thin style body (clothed and not) with a regular mego for ref. Not sure about this, but I think the fatter style torso was used for the child body that ctvt made. I have no idea what eMCe has used for the Rusty figure.


                Here are a couple of OG figures against the standard mego body. (actually an eMCe grey TZ body, but close enough).



                A bit more of a closeup of Darla. btw: There is a good pic of her in the galleries.
                Darla is totally unique in megos. She has bendy legs and rubbery arms. The arms do not hold a pose, but the legs have a few clickable positions. I have never had any ctvt brady figures, so I don't know if they reused this idea or not.

                    I think the CTVT Brady figure looks like it was on their version of the male Our Gang body. It's way thicker than the Darla body, and has articulated wrists. Plus, that's the only child body I see available for sale. I'm pretty sure the OG(repro or original) will work for at least half of what I had in mind. A Darla would be better for the other one, but we'll see what I can find for a reasonable price.
