    STAR TREK: Heads Cast in New Material?

    So, I just received my "Trouble with Tribbles" STAR TREK Megos from BBTS and I noticed something different. They appear to be cast in a shiny material. I haven't opened one yet so I can't say if it's a harder rubber, or still fairly soft. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about this, because it makes them different from all my other Megos...do they fit in? Thoughts anyone?

      I noticed the Kirk head is very shiny. I t almost looks like it's been dipped in oil.

            Oh I plan to! Just can't decide whether I want to open a shiny Spock...or a non-shiny Spock?

                  Interesting.i got a couple sets today..one Kirk seems more glossy while the other is just a tiny bit.spocks are just a little.i like the black silver phaser.comunicator and tricorder .Spock's rank much better then first Spock..the tribbles (poop balls) are 10 with each figure 2 purple.2 blue 2 gray 2 brown and 2beige .very nice.

                    Just a little thing .it's puzzling that Spock's pic not on the card like the dress uniform .it's just Kirk now .

                        I got my Wave 6 Trek, and the first thing I noticed was that "wax museum" look to Kirk and Spock's heads. Not a big fan of that. Kind of reminds me of the painted face Mirror Kirk and Spock that EMCE did. At least these aren't painted.

                          Maybe they are sweaty from having the tribbles heating up the package more than it would be. They should have eaten the tribbles like the Gorn did.
