All the new Megos seem pale to me, but I'm used to the rich, deep flesh tone they used when the type 2 bodies first emerged, something I always liked about the originals. This is a symptom of modern figures; everyone from every line is fairly pale compared to figures of the 70's. Malibu Barbie would be very lonely these days. Most of the new repeat heads are pretty much in line with the original versions, but Kirk is a major downgrade. The sculpt is okay, but the paint job, which seems the easiest thing to fix, is terrible. It's a mystery, really, as many of the other Mego heads have been painted well, sometimes VERY well (look at Jeannie and some of the other new females, some of Mego's most beautiful ladies ever). You don't need to change an expensive metal mold here, just a much cheaper paint mask.
