    Gorn again

    Just a side note on the EMCE Gorn debate. Anyone who says that the old Mego Gorn's are a dime a dozen and readily had is crazy. I have been outbid on about 5 of them on that evil machine we call e-bay. My high bid on this last one was $50 for a loose figure. Now to me this is a lot, especially for a used figure. I find this especially odd since the majority of people hate this figure. All that being said do you think that news that EMCE will not be producing the (for want of a better term) classic Mego Gorn is driving up the price?

    I've got an old Gorn but the body is shot making the arms stick straight out. I've got a new body but I honestly can't see switching out the arms just to keep the ape hands. I don't know what to do with the parts I have. Add to that that the klingon/gorn pants don't hold up too well in the elastic wasteband dept and all I can say is I really wish we were getting an old school gorn in addition to the brady gorn.

    Get an ape body, switch heads and get yourself a Klingon (they're cheap) and switch suits and you got yourself a Gorn for under $50

      Oh, and I just checked the completed listings: in the last 4 days 5 loose Gorns were sold for $29.36, $32, $41, 34.99 and $51. One didn't sell with a BIN of $44.99. So they can definitely be had for less than $50, apparently you need to look a little harder

        Get an EMCE Klingon, a EMCE soldier ape when it comes out, and get a repro card. You'll still be under $50.
