Cracks in all legs of the 4 "Our Gang" boys I bought

[kattie]

Hi, I am somewhat disappointed.
In two auctions I bought 4 "Our Gang" Mego boys.
Well, in the auctions the descriptions of them were something like "excellent" and "little to no play wear).
The big "Ohhh" came when I undressed them. All have hair cracks in both legs (shanks near the knee joint) on both sides. Well, some cracks have widened. And the heads were far more discoloured than described, but not really visible in the pictures.

Are these flaws prevalent problems of these figures?
I would really wish sellers would take a proper look before they praise their stuff to the skies.

Yeah, that body style is very prone to such things based on my experience.

I think all the ones I've seen look the same as that.

I opened a MOC Spanky and it had no cracks. The loose one i had did have cracks though.

yeah ,that happened to me i bought a loose set ,and it was the same.they never hardly tell ya about that when they sell them,it took
awhile but i finally (using parts from a couple other figures ) fixed up a nice loose set,but it was a annoying to have to do it.

Yeah, unfortunately, some Megos are prone to cracked forearms, thighs and/or feet, including these guys. In the seller's defense, many people wouldn't think of going to the trouble of undressing a toy to check everything out before selling it, especially if they were unaware that such cracking is possible on the toy in question.

See them broken while still sealed all the time.

Hi, thank you for the answers. Ok, then it makes no sense to buy more of them to get child bodies.

^You can get good repro child bodies from Dr. Mego.

True but just bodies, no heads
