Topps Mego Monday Thread

Ricardo Montalban ( Armando ) and Nova are at the top of my list for POTA humans.

Heck yeah, because then they can use him again for a young Khan, and if not, customizers can.

Nova on a new female body is a must. Along with Crusher and Troi from Star Trek TNG. I would prefer sculpted hair on all 3 as well, if possible.

[Mego-Amigo]

Nova has got to be on the new female body please. Hopefully Vina and Marta will be too.

I would hope Nova doesn't have sculpted hair :(

Nova's hair is too long to be sculpted! Sculpted hair would suck!!

[MegoMonk]

I am not into TNG enough to buy these figures, but they do look good. I really wish we could get more TOS characters. I would love a Tellerite and Harry Mudd.

[Mego-Amigo]

Agree that Nova's hair is too long to be sculpted.

That sounds like whining to me !

Absolutely. There're at least six ST:TOS that would be ideal for the Topps trealment and desired for years by Mego Trek fans: Chapel, Rand, Vina/Orion Slave, Trelane, Mudd and the Tellarite.

Heck, Mego Corp already has everything on hand to do an official Lt. Leslie.

Not necessarily. Playmates sculpted Troi’s hair with their 12 inch figures, and it looked light years better than the rooted hair in the 9-inch version.

I’m not inherently against rooted hair, but Mego hasn’t exactly hit it out of the park with their female figures this go around.

I'm all in this week. I was fretting whether to get two or three Brents, just cause I was going to make a slave Brent (and it makes the shipping easier to swallow). But it seems like all I have to do is take his clothes off and throw on a loincloth. So maybe it ain't necessary to get three. Actually, there is a problem I just realized. The Mego body won't be tan enough! Brent had a crazy surfer tan, which is strange since he had been in a spaceship for presumably six months or more if they were following Taylor's trajectory. Oh wait, I got it. Those beds with the sliding doors were also for tanning. They would need the vitamin D in space!

[Nostalgiabuff]

are they not dropping new figures until the current one ends now? what, did they hear people were starting to bundle to save on shipping and decide to nix that?

[Brown Bear]

Here's the customer service response I received from Topps, justifying $60 to ship one figure to Canada. So much for that.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Topps Customer Service. The prices are as listed to reflect the cost of shipping. Unfortunately, the prices have dramatically increased to ship to Canada.
Best regards,
Lori
Customer Service Representative

Looks like they have closed the weekly figures overlap for combined shipping loophole, LOL.

[Nostalgiabuff]

if that's what they did and why they did it, that's pretty s*h*i*t*t*y. that's a sure fired way to alienate your customer base
