Early Look: Mego Captain Pike

[RSS]

Our friends at Mego corp (be sure to check out their amazing Facebook group Mego Ambassadors) have given us an early look at an upcoming figure and this time it’s Captain Pike played by actor Anson Mount from the recent Discovery series and soon to be in his own spin-off series. Sculpting was done by…

I was not expecting the Anson Mount version of Pike. But they did a terrific job on it. I'm particularly impressed with the uniforms for the Discovery figures. I'm hoping we get a Michael Burnham preview soon.

I haven't dived into Discovery yet, but Pike makes me want to, and this is a nice looking figure.

Nice head sculpt. Looks big to me though. I know the Trek heads have always ran a bit big but this one looks just a touch too much.

looks better than the preview Joel had shown on FB. glad to see the added grey highlights to his hair

Great sculpt!!! However, I'm afraid that Mego might be going the route of their latest Superman 8" action figure....with a bit on the bigger head scale. I'm Not a "Big Head" fan on "Any" of my Mego figures. For me....that's a Deal Breaker !!!

Agreed, Mego heads and FTC heads should be properly scaled to fit the bodies without looking too big. On another note, however, who is excited to get multiples of this figure so they can craft their own custom Black Bolt from that terrible Inhumans TV series?

Love that head sculpt and the outfit is nicely done. I'll definitely be getting that one.

Never seen the show (and don't plan too) but nice head sculpt (very Mego-esque/accurate in a Captain Kirk sculpt kinda way).

The recent flux in head sizes is a factory situation that has been addressed on this end of things. A lot of work has been done in advance so it will take a bit of time before changes are seen at retail.

Speaking as a collector who lived through the 90's i'd much rather see a too big head than a too small

^Yeah, who wants Famous Covers screaming pea-heads? I don't like oversized heads, but undersized is worse for me, personally.

Thanks for sharing. A simple acknowledgement like this goes a long way.

That is SOoo Great TO hear. I mean you and the other sculptors are doing an 'Incredible Job'....the facial work looks on par with Hot Toys. Can't wait till Mego resolves this issue...my wallet is getting ready.
