<\/b><\/p>\n
Munchkin Dancing Girl (Item No. 51502\/3):<\/b> The third in the line of Mego Wizard of Oz<\/i> Munchkins, this item recreates the character of the Munchkin Dancing Girl from the film.\u00a0 The figure’s body is absolutely unique, and is made up of a pair of rubber flesh arms (bent at the elbows), a pair of rubber flesh legs (reinforced with internal wire) with ballet slippers painted\u00a0 in pink on the feet, and a hard plastic torso cast in pink.\u00a0 The figure’s outfit is a skirt and oversized cowl, both made from a fine pink tulle with a white netted overlay.<\/p>\n
Package Variants:<\/b> The Dancing Girl came in only one style of package.<\/p>\n
Figure Variants:<\/b> There are no known figure variants for the Dancing Girl.<\/p>\n
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: <\/b>The packaging for all four of the Munchkins is virtually identical.\u00a0 All four inserts are exactly the same, and the only difference in the outer packaging lies in the figure name and Item No., both on the front panel.<\/p>\n
Caution Collectors:<\/b> The Dancing Girl was manufactured around the time that Mego began using a lower grade of plastic for the heads of their figures.\u00a0 As a result, the Dancing Girl (as well as the other three Munchkins) is extremely susceptible to “graying” of the face, so try to keep her out of direct sunlight.\u00a0 Also, the rubber bands that hold the Dancing Girl to her insert are almost always broken or rotted away.\u00a0 Most collectors don’t really care about the presence or absence of a couple of tiny rubber bands, and understand that time takes it toll on everything, even packaging elements; however, should you stumble across a specimen that still has its bands intact, kudos to you, as these are certainly more desirable.\u00a0 Additionally, when buying a mint-in-box Dancing
\nGirl, be sure to check and make sure that she has her plastic “hair sleeve” on under her cowl (just because she’s half-size, Mego didn’t skimp on the hairdo accessories–and she isn’t “complete” without it).\u00a0 Finally, be careful when displaying a loose Dancing Girl, as her rubber-like body material can melt after prolonged contact with the wrong kind of plastic (any Liddle Kiddle collector will readily attest to this unfortunate chemical reaction).<\/p>\n

the tie and watch are detailed in yellow, while the entire torso front is detailed in red intersecting lines, giving the impression of a plaid waistcoat.\u00a0 The ensemble is completed by the only two cloth portions of the figure: a blue, velveteen top hat, and a purple, nylon jacket (sleeveless, as the purple plastic arms create the illusion of sleeves).<\/p>\n Package Variants:<\/b> The Mayor came in only one style of package.\u00a0 However, the Mayor figure was also included in the Mego Munchkinland Playset.<\/p>\n Figure Variants:<\/b> There are no known figure variants for the Mayor.<\/p>\n Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: <\/b>The packaging for all four of the Munchkins is virtually identical.\u00a0 All four inserts are exactly the same, and the only difference in the outer packaging lies in the figure name and Item No., both on the front panel.\u00a0 Also, the Mayor and the General both have the same arms (molded in different colors), and the Mayor, General and Flower Girl all have the same legs and feet (again molded in different colors).<\/p>\n Caution Collectors:<\/b> The Mayor was manufactured around the time that Mego began using a lower grade of plastic for the heads of their figures.\u00a0 As a result, the Mayor (as well as the other three Munchkins) is extremely susceptible to “graying” of the face, so try to keep him out of direct sunlight.\u00a0 Also, Did You Know?: <\/b>The Mayor is marginally more common than the rest (due to his inclusion in the Munchkinland Playset), and therefore worth slightly less than the others;
