    MegoMeet Exclusive Figure - 2nd Issue

    Hey,
    Well, I talked to all the other people that have generously worked with me over the years on these figures and are currently helping me with this one. All are OK on helping me produce a second run, so I have decided to proceed with that idea.
    I plan on doing this in the following way - there will be 40 MegoMeet Exclusive figures produced for the show. Each one will be in a large flapped window box (preliminary pics from Mego73 are awsome!!), and come with a numbered certificate signed by everyone who was involved in the making of the figure. The same rules apply as I stated before for the sale of the figure.
    Now, after the MegoMeet is over and every figure has been sold, I will take orders for another run of the figure. This figure will come in a different box, modeled on the standard WGSH window box without a flap, and, of course, without a certificate. The figure will come in a non-assembled state with a non-painted head. This figure will be $45 (plus S/H), $5 less but also not painted. For anyone who does not want to paint the head and hat, I will do that before I send it for an additional $10. That means the second figure could run $55, which is more than the exclusive, but trust me, by that time and after painting 40 figures already, it is now a chore and not a joy.
    I feel comfortable with this idea, and hope everyone else does too. I feel it keeps the exclusitivity of the original 40, but gives others a chance to own the figure as well, just not the MegoMeet Exclusive.

    Thats a great Idea. I am going to megomeet and I am planning on buying one at the meet. Is there a way to just buy an extra head to make into a Trek crewman?

            Great to hear more will be made, the other box and certificate for the Meet figure are also a great idea

              Sounds like a great solution and hats off to all those working on this fantastic custom. The price point also sounds more than fair.

                      Love this idea. A lot. Very fair, very reasonable, and freakin' nice of everyone involved to do this.

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."
