    Gi Joe and other figures ID help!

    I bought a small lot of mixed megos on Ebay and need some identification help:

    First I'm curious about the different shirt colors on these 2 spocks- is one of these from another crew member- any significance or just a color variation:


    Next is this young boy- I thought maybe Buck Rogers but didn't see him in the museum- I gave up quickly on pulling the clothes down to look for stampings since I didn't want to rip them (Mego Spiderman is there for scale reference)


    Any input is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Next up is a 1970 Warners Bros Mouse with cloth jacket


    This is a GI Joe Adventure team- Talking. I noticed the stamp says General MIlls Europe- so I'm guessing this was an Action Man- just couldn't find pics of any with mustache only- any info is appreciated:




    This looks an awful lot like Arnold Swartzencheatenonmywife from Commando


    This guy has a semi-clear portion on his chest and a non-functioning roller on the back that almost certainly caused sparks to fly behind the clear chest piece

      No difference on the Spocks. Just dirty.

      The little boy in the second pic is Loki from Space Academy

      The WB mouse is Merlin the Magic Mouse

      That is Arnie from Commando

      Last pic is Galoob Blackstar
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          I'm pretty sure that is a Cotswold replacement head on the GI Joe/Action Man body. They have had several different flocking options over the years, though I currently don't see a mustache option but they may have had one in the past.

          Possibly their Vince head:

              Yeah, if there is no scar on the face, then it's a Cotswold head (can't tell from blurry photos). It's also possible that someone had a vintage head reflocked and opted for a mustache rather than the full beard.

                  Merlin The Mouse may also be a Dakin figure from the late 60's early 70's. Not positive...but it does look like it's from the Dakin line.

                  And because of all their tears,
                  Their eyes can't hope to see
                  The beauty that surrounds them
                  Isn't it a pity".

                          Could it be a Geyperman body with a Cotswold head ?

                              Merlin Mouse is Dakin copyright 1970.

                              A closer exam on the GI Joe head shows "Cotswold" - and the face is clear- no scar.

                              He has some interesting phrases:

                              Space Station now visible
                              All units stand by
                              Prepare to repel invaders
                              We're under attack
                              Oxygen level falling
                              I'm going in
