    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?
    All of these things can be "fixed" by MORE ALIENS!!!!

      We can rationalize the product, but I was surprised to even see the folks making comments as they toy hunt. Strange the clip I watched McCoy has the classic blue phaser but mine is black and painted has this been discussed too?

      Maybe Mego can just send me the paint?

        Yes, so far, the ones in Target have blue weapons, as per their request.

          I haven't heard any backlash on your Scotty sculpt, for the obvious reason...it's EXCELLENT!

            I like the new black accessories. I always figured the originals were bright blue so kids woukdnt lose them easy.

              I have. I don’t think I’ve done a sculpt that someone didn’t complain about.

                Not sure if joking, but yeah I mean, again, it's pretty reasonable that some people would be upset because of how this developed. It's kinda a baffling decision in that regard, because Mego probably could have sold the re-releases just fine as they have the other Trek characters.

                Then went back in and did new head sculpts for everyone and double dipped so to speak, because people would have likely bought the new ones as well as a separate more modern thing.

                Missed opportunity and ultimately set this up to disappoint on some level even if everything was a homerun otherwise.

                  I wasn’t joking at all. I couldn’t wait for the fallout.

                      No. I believe by what was meant by “new” is the 2018 Kirk head.

                        I love "CrimsonGhost" but if you want to change your museum ID to "FalloutBoy" or "BacklashBoy" just let me know:-)

                          I will consider it!

                            Mr. Scott

                            I just got Scotty, and its the same level of care that's gone into all the great recent figures. Folks have mentioned a Dr. McCoy fix is that real and when might that show up?

                            And what about Captain Kirk?

                              I don’t want to throw shade, as it seems like the consensus of my earlier post might sound. I like the new sculpts, I only want new Kirk and Spock... one day.
                              I have a set arriving soon, and will probably use the pale McCoy in a standard shirt or a Mirror version, same with Scotty. Now my question is, is the target McCoy the new skin tone or is it still to come, I would like another variation to be sure.

                                Found them in TRU, one store had McCoy with black phaser/Scotty with blue... two stores has the blue version. I think some had a purplish hue to them, but the one I picked up when opened, was just pale. Possibly the desired look for the character. I think it looks fine, Richie was about the same tone... The Scottys had their faces painted, so he’s a bit rugged looking. I was going to check another store, but ran out of time.
                                I didn’t want the M-113, but she kinda grew on me, a bit nicer looking than the DST version, especially the skin texture. As a side note, was unable to see Cornelius, only two each of Dr. Zaius...
