Bogi Bogi is another company from Europe (Italy?) that produced some nice 8 inch figures. These included a female action figure series, a cowboy series, and a few others. The figures are boxed, come with a decent amount of accessories depending on the figure(s), and are not easy to find. I have also included a very rare and hard to find series of figures you put together yourself that are about 1.5"-2" tall. Bogi made them as "Little Play Kid". When I lived in Italy as a kid, they came in a different box (I remember it being colored more like Playmobile called "Super Charlie". He was a soft plastic character that came on a "tree" (like styrene models) and you put him together, even putting the TINY little pegs in for his eyes. He came in all sorts of professions from police officer to fireman, farmer, mechanic, etc. When I was 7, I later received for my birthday about a 5 inch version of the same figure in a long set with a bunch of cowboys and indians. They are not truly "Mego-like", but they are very cool and rare action figures nevertheless. If you have any further information, please feel free to contact me at: lmelogra@optonline.net:
This figure is modeled after the well-known story-teller, Vader (German for "father") Abraham. He is better known in this country as the creator of "The Smurfs". He comes complete with glasses wired into his head and a microphone.
The 8 inch Demo Girl line had a full line of figures boxed in different outfits. They/she also came in a few different varieties (blonde, brunette, etc). All packaging for the figures was window boxes. See Ceppi Ratti's version "Beba Alta Moda" which is essentially there own twist of outfit of the same figure.
Demo Cowboy was the boys version of a Bogi action figure to complement Demo Girl. He also came in several varities, was windows boxed and had his own series of outfits.
A very interesting figure! He is based on a very popular clown in Europe. This 8 inch character comes on a blister card with some interesting accessories: outfit, hat, big clown shoes and flowers. There is rumor that there may be several varieties of him in different outfits. Nov.19, 2005: Rumor confirmed! This head and body were also used to make at least 6 different clown figures for the company Ceppi Ratti. They called them "Dondy - Il Clown". You can see them by going to the Ceppi Ratti page by clicking here.
At 5 centimeters (about 2 inches) tall, he's a rather small poseable action figure. He is pieced together after removing the parts from miniature plastic trees. He came in all sorts of professions: Bricklayer, Doctor, Fireman, Painter, Carpenter, Cook, Mechanic, Miner, Policeman, Artist, Farmer, and Soldier. All of the bodies and parts came in a variety of colors. For example, I have 5 farmers and 4 are in different color schemes. He was also known as "Super Charlie" in Italy (I had him as a kid) and came not only in 5cm, but in a 4-5inch figure as well! *** Note: I am looking for these heavily, so if anyone has any or can help me find them, let me know and receive a reward!
