    Question about the new bandless bodies...

    Do previous new Mego heads fit on the new round neck plug?

    If so, how well? Are they loose?

    I wouldn't think so. The new bodies look way smaller and the heads are injection molded.

      That's what I'm afraid of. I'm one of those OCD types who likes all the figures within a series to match.

        TMP Spock is the same head used for WOK, so I’m pretty sure they’re cross compatible. Also, I don’t think these are injection molded yet.

          I hope so, but in Brian's video review the neck posts look like they're two different sizes.

            The Spock head looks way smaller than the Wrath of Khan one...

              Hmmm. Maybe they're different then. I'm just looking at photos like everyone else!

                Will be interesting to see if the bodies are shorter. That is going to be a problem if so.

                  Well, that will be exciting!

                  Mego mentioned on Facebook last week sometime they are currently tweaking the new body.

                    Brian did a Mint Off Card on the new body awhile back, compared next to the current body and any size difference appeared to be minimal if any difference at all.

                        I totally support Mego in all the new product. Please just keep the different lines in proportion to each other I never forget that giant Maya head next to Commander Koenig.
                        Oh wait that was Classic TV Toys wasn't it? But then Landau was Mego so I guess that's not a good example.

                          Well if they show up a half inch or so shorter let the fun begin.

                            They look more than half an inch shorter to me. I'm not sure how well the Brent outfit will fit Taylor. That's something I was planning on doing with them. I'm hoping the Spock uniform will fit on one of the older Spock bodies. The new bodies just make the figures look dinky...

                              I’m willing to wait till someone gets them to find out. The last one I got on a old style body sucks Arms won’t raise up without getting stuck.
