Question on the CTVT child body

[lilbrosj66]

I bought 2 from the Doc and they are great quality.

• 5" body aka "Little Rascals/Our Gang body" or "child body" from Mego, DM and CTVT
• 6.5" body aka CTVT male body or teen body from CTVT
• 7" body aka "Lion Rock body" or "Teen Titan body" or DM teen body" from Mego/Lion Rock and DM
• 8" body from Mego/Palitoy DM, CTVT, Castaway, Paco, Neca, BK ,Type3..etc.
• 9" body from Mego/Palitoy and Matchbox
• 12" Body from Mego/Palitoy and CTVT

I would ascertain that the 6" could be slightly more bigger as seen in the photo below. Robin is on a 7" body and Billy Batson is on a 6" body.

Thanks for that

^Figured. Basically the CTVT 6" Teen body is a 7" Lion Rock/Teen Titan body that shrunk when they made the molds, I would conclude based on your proof.

So changed the list above to reflect true size. 6.5"

I just took a ruler to both my Titans Robin and Billy Batson and there is about 1/2 inch difference in height from heel to neck line.

To me, it's easier just to think of them as adult, teen and child bodies.

SeattleEd,

I think your list should clear things up... It looks like it covers all the bases...

• 6.5" body aka CTVT male body or teen body from CTVT
• 7" body aka "Lion Rock body" or "Teen Titan body" or DM teen body" from Mego/Lion Rock and DM
• 8" body from Mego/Palitoy DM, CTVT, Castaway, Paco, Neca, BK ,Type3..etc.

Thanks megoknight. I thought it was just me.

Does this help, as this is what I've determined in my short while investigating Mego type figures:

1. Standard 8" adult figure = 7" adult body + head
2. Taller 7" teen figure = 6" body + head (Lion Rock, Teen Titans)
3. Shorter 6" teen figure = 5" body + head (CTVT)
4. Child figure = 4" body + head (Little Rascals, CTVT)

I may well be wrong on some of the points, but I'm willing to be corrected.

I agree, are Titans 7 inch, or 6 inch bodies?. When we talk about Mego, it's an 8 inch figure, but we say 8 Inch body. Let's try to get our termonology correct.

I'm confused! I have NO idea what bodies you're talking about.

5, 6 or 7 inches? With head? Without head?

I feel like this thread needs a key chart.

SeattleEd is right, I'm referring to the 5" body...

You mentioned that so far you've had good luck with the kid body you bought from CTVT... Are you talking about the 5" one, or the 6" body? (I'm guessing you're meaning the 5" body?)

Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant the Teen 6 inch body, so far it is holding up.

Are you talking about the teen titan size body or the little rascal bodies. i have the kids body fro ctvt and so far so good... but Doc will have these soon he said so when they become available i would use his for quality purposes... and if there are any issues with the bodies no one beats Doc for service!!!

[SeattleEd]

^^ I believe he is referencing the kid size body aka little rascals aka 5" body. The 6" body is a teen body from CTVT. Mego or DM will carry the 7" body which I assume is the same as the 6" minus the head. I don't know the exact measurements for the 6" since I never ordered a teen body from CTVT. I always use a Lion Rock body.

I only bought one CTVT version and it broke immediately upon moving the arm at the elbow.

DM's version is great. I've managed to dye the bodies and restring with great success.

If the body is not exposed then use a DM but if you have to expose parts of the bodies such as the arms, then try dying first or get a MEGO Little Rascals body.
