A recent score, this 7-inch generic from the 80s is a rare knock-off the famed action figure body from Mego — the company that defined the 8-inch scale in the 70s, giving us The World’s Greatest Superheroes, Planet of the Apes and myriad other properties. (read more at The Mego Museum)

This slightly shrunken version has the same articulation and construction of the originals, but with zero markings, no production year, nothing… we’re just guessing at who produced this and when.

Nice weapons though.

And I really love these molded tabi with ‘putee’ straps. This sort of detail is not common in no-name knock-offs like this.

I know there’s some Mego collectors out there that’ll be able to ID this head in a heartbeat. Chime in friends…
