          I agree. McCoy and Scotty won't be "fixed" until the heads are rotocast in the correct flesh color. I do not like painted faces on my figures. Even Q would have looked better had his hood been painted black.

            Totally agree with you on painted head sculpts...but even that wouldn't fix this sculpt. Ironically...if you look at the art work on the back of the card...it looks EXACTLY like the original Mego McCoy.

              I don't have any issues with the likenesses of Scotty or McCoy. In fact, I think they're quite good. My problem is the roughness of them. It's like the faces were roughed in...but weren't refined. They're not as polished looking as the other Trek heads. I love DATA...that is a perfect Mego head sculpt.

                maybe the painted heads are just using up what is left of the original pale production run and when those are done there will be new rotocast ones in flesh. what happened to DR Mego offering replacement heads? he had mentioned it on FB a while back but then i never heard about it again

                  It's too bad they can't touch up the original mego Scotty and McCoy heads, and release them like the POA figures.These don't really fit in with my other Star Trek megos

                    They probably painted the faces just incase the vinyl eventually turns gray

                    BTW, am I the only one who likes the original sculpt better ?

                      If they redid all the bridge crew I'd be in. Totally redid too, not old style clothes with a new headsculpt.

                          This may be the New natural skin color Dr. McCoy.

                            Are these only going to be available at Target?

                              I recall DST saying it was actually cheaper to paint the heads than to cast them in the correct colors. Which always seemed odd to me but I'm sure had to do more with bulk producing.

                              Painted head suck though.
