    i love stories like this- i myself have been looking for a knock off et figure i had as a kid for many years- it was non posable and a greenish color- with the eyes painted blue it was about 3 inches tall.

    i love this story tho- it reminds me of the triumph i felt as a kid when i did my first mego surgery and successfully repaired my beloved spidey by taking a leg off fonzie.

        Once I get the head and clothes on a mego body, I'll post another.
        Have you finished him?

          The original picture you showed threw me off. I thought the figure you were looking for had real clothing, not a transplant onto another body. That figure is exactly what I was talking about. I've got him in a box somewhere. Just a straggler from a bulk toy buy years ago.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

              If you search, there's a whole thread on it, but here's the Reader's Digest version. The only thing my grandfather ever gave me was a bendy figure of a boxer I named Baldy when I was little. Because he was so short next to my mego's. I made him AJ's son. I lost him and it became an ongoing game as a kid that AJ's son was "missing". For 25 years my brothers and I brought up this childhood memory, then my brother delivered Baldy on Father's Day, 25 years later to be reunited with my old AJ. LOL It was awesome.

                  Sorry but I have this weird image of a 30 year old short bald guy showing up at Action Jackson's door... "hello...I am your son.." .....flashback to the 70s Action Jackson and Dinah Mite on a date.

                      Just realized I never posted the finished Toughest Cop figure as I remember him, now finally in my collection. Micheal Buffer is introducing him. LOL

                        I can see why he was memorable. He does look like a tough guy. That was some pretty good customizing from when you were a kid!

                          Yeah, he does look like he'd beat about any takers. Kind of like a serious Tackleberry from the Police Squad films!
