70's & early 80's toys

I have many hobbies but since one will let me share a fun story I'll go with it. I love 70's early 80's toys particularly Star Wars and 8 inch figures (OK dolls) made by a company called Mego. There were licensing gods back in the day. Megos were cool but were notorious for having the pin that connected the knee snap off

sometimes while figures were still in the package. Recently when looking for a Bo Duke to add to my collection I used this to my advantage. I picked up this

sadly neglected fellow on Ebay.

Back in the day there was't much you could unless you were able to work the pin off another figure (they all had the same body') Today however there are other places to get the pin. So once I worked Bo out of the package (it was already open on the side due the bubble cracking) I put in a fresh pin and "Yee Haw!" good as new!
