    You say Mugatu, I say Mugato

    On the front and back of EMCE Khan, the Mugato is spelled "Mugato". On the front of the Uhura and Mugato, it is also spelled "Mugato". But on the back of the Uhura and Mugato cards, the Mugato is now spelled "Mugatu".

    EMCE wasn't the only one unable to decide on which spelling to go with..

    Playmates couldn't settle on a spelling either.. using the U for their 4" fig, but the O for the 12"..

        I just picked up my Mugato, Uhura, Soldier Ape and Cornelius at my local Comic shop today. They look great. Paid $70 for all four.

        Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
        Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
        Lo they do call me.
        They bid me take my place among them.

                My two local comics shops want nothing to do with these figures, it ****es me off a little, but they are not my stores.

                  Noticed that too. I was wondering if it was keeping in line with a Mego error or what. I'd rather just call him horny disco monkey myself.

                    From what I heard, he is "Gumato" in the script but the actors kept messing up the pronunciation into "Mugato" and it was decided to stick with it (but no one told the credits people).

                    I think the suit was owned by Janos Prohaska and it was used in a Here's Lucy episode (without the horn and back spikes) as a rare white Gorilla and in a Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea episode in the forth season.

                      Someday I will tell you guys the story of the Mugato/Mugatu, but not today.

                      Mego called him Mugato and we did too, but there was some confusion on the
                      back of the card between versions. I promise that if and when we do another
                      run of him, the back will say Mugato too.
