Green Arrow head swap!

[bizzaro megomauler]

neck plug design is very reminiciant of MOTU figures. good to see that I can transfer him to a mego body too.

Green Arrow head swap!

I find the poseability of the new figure to be pretty weak. The waist is kind of spastic. He can't sit or stand as well as a Mego.

That's not a good thing. Hopefully, as the design changes for wave 2, they could fix it. Poseability is key to any action figure line.

These new figures have very small pelvis. How does that effect the stance of the figure?

Here is the new head and outfit on a type-2 Mego body.

I didn't see any issues. I could move the arms and legs normally and the costume wasn't too tight or baggy. The scale seems identical to Mego scale.

EXCELLENT job!! Good to know the Neckplug IS inter-changeable. My other concern was...would the Costume look baggy, but I can see that it fits GREAT! I'm happy now!

I still plan to try my switching just the "lower half" trick though...I like the bulked up Chest, Shoulders, & Biceps.

Hooray!!!

Thanks for this great post, no adapter needed!

Can Emce legs be added to the Mattel body?

I proceeded to remove the neck post from the new body. The head still fits fine but may feel a tiny bit looser. However, by removing the neck plug I made enough room to put a Mego head onto the Mattel body.



I put the EMCE Klingon head on the Mattel body. Its a bit tight. I can turn the head, but I needed to force it a little. I choose the Klingon head because it had a short neck plug. Heads with a longer neck plug will have to be cut down a little.

You can see the neck post in the upper right corner of the picture above. The hands and feet are also easy to swap out.

Here is the Klingon-Arrow all dressed up:

Mattel heads fit Mego bodies and Mego heads fit Mattel bodies?
The neck plug on the Mattel bodies are that easy to remove?
That's FANTASTIC news, I'm completely excited again with this new line.
See, if Mattel hadn't been all hush hush about all this there wouldn't have been so many complaints

Is it just me or does Klingon Arrow look like GA's nemesis Merlyn? He just needs a black version of the costume.

[Mego Milk]

this is a great thread!

[LonnieFisher]

Have you tried to put an old costume on this new body? I'm curious to see if they will fit well.

lol, the old hair dryer trick might work as well. That is what I have always used.

Good ideal, I've used the hair dryer to fix JLU legs in the past, Thanks!

A new era of MEGO has begun!

Thanks for the reply. I thought I would get less strange looks from my wife, holding a naked doll under the tap than boiling water, lol.

Hi pmwasson, when you remove the feet do you just hold it under hot tap water for a few minutes or use boiling water?

I used boiling water, but the plastic is very rubbery, so hot tap water may work.
