    Mint Off Card: Star Trek The Gorn by Mego Corp.

    A new episode of “Mego Museum Mint off Card”, where we de-card a new Retro Figure and let you explore what’s inside. Our subject this week is the Gorn from the classic Star Trek episode “Arena” by Mego Corp, available at Target stores right now! We also do a bonus segment on Mego’s history with the Gorn as well as the Mego fan community, it's a nice story.

          I hope we get every single McDunsell possible Brian. I love the Gorn so much I bought 2 of the EMCE versions, years ago. I now have the fantastic, new, red phaser capable Mego one, and cannot wait for more Mego Trek.
          I post in thy general direction!

              Love the Gorn. Not even a Trek guy, but I bought one anyway. It’s the only Trek I own.

                      Great video! I picked up the Gorn a few weeks ago, and along with Bela he may be the best thing New Mego has produced. A big improvement over the EMCE version with the more correct base color and all the shading details. I enjoyed the shot of Kirk having a beer with the Gorn too. ;-)

                        Great Gorn video. Hope you do a wave three Target-Mego Romulan comparison video to the EMCE and original Mego.

                        What's this about a Sarek and Amanda 2-pack?

                          I actually like the bright green of the Emce Gorn. Really pops.
                          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                            This new one has a better paint scheme on the head, but I'm still going to build up his muscles. Too scrawny. Redo his hands and gloves.
