When Tom Woppat and John Schneider left the Dukes of Hazzard series for a short time, the heads on the Mego figures were changed. The new versions are assumed to be versions of Coy and Vance Duke, Bo and Luke's replacements on the show, though they were still packaged as Bo and Luke. Once the original stars returned, so did the original heads. Above is a regular Bo Duke head along side the harder to find replacement. The third head was the replacement for the standard Luke (don't have a loose regular Luke head handy at the moment, so that picture is coming). Another change that occurred early on in the Dukes line involved the Duke boys shirts; the first figures released had shirts made of a more broadcloth-like shirt material; later in the run, this was changed to a bulkier material more like the super hero costumes. The jeans were also changed to a thinner material on both; Bo's jeans were quite a bit thicker to begin with, and Luke's looked more like a bluejean material.
