      I want both but only ended up getting Borg Queen today. I have been needing a White body for a while for a custom of mine and I am hoping she will be on the new body.

      Depending on who will be next week I may also get Worf. I told myself I was done Star Trek collecting but I do love TNG.

        They are killing me. I mean, awesome figures, but still...

        Hopefully October will start a monster run and my wallet can get a rest.

            I don't thinkt there will be many monsters. Monsters seem to sell the best at retail and they take up the most spots in a wave. There also isn't THAT many monsters that they have left to do. Star Trek and DC have endless amounts of characters for them to get into.

            People are upset that Worf is an exclusive but Picard and Data were shelf-warmers for the most part so it makes sense that they are using Topps to get out these characters.

              Worf's uniform looks like its using yellow & black fabric stitched together instead of a printed suit, which I think is awesome! The printed black never seems to work well, so this would be a great improvement. I know its only a prototype and can change, but I hope this is the direction Mego is taking.

              The Borg Queen's neck doesn't look like Mego. I'm guessing the final figure will look quite different from the prototype.

                I've been breathing a sigh of relief, with every Topps Monday, because they're nothing I want.. Whew!...LOL! I am glad I find monsters to my liking in the regular Mego waves, though (and they're not breaking my wallet).

                  Worf looks smashing, I don't collect TNG but when I got the photos today I noticed how nice he was.

                    Mego has really been producing great figures. So glad Star Trek isn’t my thing.

                      Same, but a I agree with the other Jrfjr126rock that Mego doesn't need monsters on Topps; we'll see them if Topps demands it though. I was hoping for a break, but Worf...

                      That's a good point. And we haven't seen what Geordi and Riker will do at retail (the best argument for Worf being at retail is that those two are), but if Pickard is a peg warmer, I would not expect any other TNG to sell better. We shall see.

                      I'm not sure I am in for the Borg Queen, but ordering only on figure is such bad value with shipping.

                        I suspect a black body, at least partially. And if it is white, it won't be for long in a black costume.

                        I like both of them but I don't collect TNG.

                          I haven't been able to purchase any of the Topps Mego figures because I live in Canada and it is too expensive to ship them here. I am very disappointed Worf has been released in this format because I was looking forward to having a full main TND crew and now I can't.

                            Well if it's black then I will use her for Catwoman!

                              I don’t collect TNG, but Worf is a good choice and he looks really nice. Someone mentioned possible monsters for October, makes sense but as someone else mentioned who’s left to do? although I wouldn’t mind seeing Teenage Werewolf and Frankenstein, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen them done, only as customs.

                                I wish they’d do the Monster Squad.
