    Someone mentioned The Mummy has a Jonny Quest vibe. Horseman has potential. There's probably some use for the LOTR guys.

    My problem with the Khan sculpt is the EMCE Space Seed one is excellent, and this is not.

      I don't hate the Khan sculpt, but I don't feel like it fits in with the rest of the Trek Megos. It looks a bit more realistic and I get the feeling that it's going to appear undersized given the way the hair covers so much of the side of the face. I feel like this is the danger you run into when you have a mixture of new sculpt and re-released vintage sculpt. But maybe it'll look better in person.

        The monsters look great. Khan's hairdo is a little too beehive for me, but you have to get him with the WoK crew

          How is the Khan head not accurate? It looks just like he did in the movie. What is wrong with it? He looks like an old lady with a bouffant hair-do.

            His hair was puffy and buoyant in the film. In plastic that doesn't always translate.

              I'm sitting here alternating between image tabs of TWOK Khan, the figure, and Bea Arthur and it looks like Khan. The distinctive features are there. The hair is a little puffy and the bangs slightly short, but IMO it's a good likeness.

              If this had been cast in '70s Mego bronzed tan, we'd all be raving about it. And thanks for the photo comparison, Lonnie.

                I love the sculpt. I joke about stealing the hair sculpt for other stuff, but I think the way they did this meshes perfectly with vintage. Does every stern-faced person look like Bea Arthur?

                  I really like the molded hair on Khan and KISS.

                  If NuMego somehow nabbed the King Features license and did Prince Valiant (and I'd love that!), I'd want sculpted hair.

                    I like the sculpted hair, too.

                      Lady Godiva was a freedom rider
                      She didn't care if the whole world looked
                      Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her
                      She was a sister who really cooked
                      Isadora was the first bra-burner
                      Ain't ya glad she showed up? (Oh yeah!)
                      And when the country was fallin' apart
                      Betsy Ross got it all sewed up

                      And then there's Khan.
                      Of all the souls I have encountered his was the most...human.

                        Man, that really made me laugh--all I could picture was a youtube vid of the show theme with a quick cutaway of Kirk screaming, "KHAN!!!"

                        I'm still chuckling as I type. Thanks KB.

                          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...

                            I think the Khan looks great. Love that they did the delta badge necklace.

                            Aragorn has promise... but a little concerned about the sword that does not fit in the scabbard (nevermind that it is not screen accurate). Hopefully they fix that before it is released.

                              I think I need to clarify my position a bit because I have been having fun with the whole Maude/Kahn thing. It's not that I don't think the sculpt looks like Movie Kahn because it does. It's a great likeness. My chuckle is more about having never realized that Movie Kahn and Maude are not dissimilar and my playful mind likes to fill in the gaps just like several other people here. I'm relieved a bit to know I'm not alone or uncommon in having a mind that works that way.

                                Damn it, Maude is from Star Wars, not Star Trek!!
