    Save Mego Star Trek Quality

    Just got Dr. McCoy what happened?
    I ordered Mr. Scott anyhow but I feel a bit obliged...

    Plus the new Kirk head isn't what it should be.

    Is there anything that can be said to get Star Trek back on track?

      I think they took "bones" a little too literally. Made him bone white. Other than his pallor, what's the problem? I think he looks a little too young.

        the skin tone on Mccoy has already been discussed at length. it will be corrected in future shipments. who knows, we may get new Kirk and Spock sculpts now too. i love all the Trek we are getting

          I respectfully disagree with the premise that Star Trek is off track. McCoy has a solid sculpt despite the skin color issue that is being corrected, and Scotty's sculpt is downright amazing. This (and every) line has hiccups but I'm perfectly satisfied with the product so far. I do hope we get new sculpts for TOS Kirk and Spock.

            Ah y'know you can disagree, but I bought a Mr. Spock with Leonard Nimoy himself handing them out in Brooklyn, NY in the 70s which is where I was raised so forgive any pretense.
            I'm really not trying to "troll" these things, just makes one think since the Trek Movie ones are fine, Frankenstein Ultraman Chris Lee Dracula etc are all so good.

            When you say being corrected that really = have to buy again btw.

              I'm just hoping that future releases will have the correct Command, Sciences, and Engineering insignia on their uniforms, and not simply give everyone the same Command insignia...

                I have no problem at all with them using new head sculpts, but wish they had used those resources to produce more movie era figures. The original series figures they should have finished off with original sculpts, and then used new sculpts for movie figures and new characters like Rand, Mitchell, Pike, etc...

                Anyway, I’m happy with the line, but would love to see more aliens and playsets.

                  i don't see anybody being forced to buy the current one, or any future corrections. buy what you like. you asked about it getting back on track, as you call it. Mego correcting the skin tone is what i would call getting back on track with an error that was made in production

                    Well I understand that. Don't you think the Kirk head lost its charm and it keeps getting repacked? I had to give the low shirt to an original one. And you cant really just buy the shirt. I'm glad the intention is that this will all be fixed up. Admiral Kirk came out right what happened to Kirk? We never got a fixed Captain Kirk is that in the works at all? I imagine the new larger one will look right.

                      What about people that preordered the current one sight unseen? The LEAST Mego could do is act in good faith and allow people who aren't happy with the current figure to exchange it for the corrected one.

                        The real question is: was it ever “on track”?

                              cancel your pre-order. or flip it on ebay. i personally don't order until i see photos to see if i like the figure and then i only order what i like. down the road, people will probably want this version as it will be "rare", lol
