Thread: Gorn vs. Gorn

  1. #11
    I keep thinking that original Gorn would look great if you popped his head off and gave him a Klingon head like the ones in Next Gen & the movies. he already has the brown hands.

    So when are these new Gorns coming out?

    Absolutley NO comparison....the original looks like crap next to EMCE's version. Can't wait for him.

    Looks like the new one is asking the old one what's wrong with him? Of course the old one is saying "don't ask,it's a long story."

    more likely the old one is saying "he is a Gorn but we don't talk about it with outsiders."

    The Gorn outfit on Dave's is not the outfit we are putting with the actual
    production figure. It didn't look right on different samples, so we found
    a bronze material that works better.

    I sent Dave a pre-production sample Gorn as a thank you for his sewing
    the prototype outfit that got sent to China. Hopefully one day he will
    be offered a huge amount of money for it and be conflicted whether to
    take the money or keep the rarity in his collection.

    By the way, cost of material has never been a consideration in making
    these. My guy in China sends me samples of a wide range of materials
    and never tries to "guide" me towards one sample over another.

    We rejected that "lizard skin" material because it was not really in scale
    with an 8 inch figure. The segments seem too large for the figure - almost
    mumu-like.

    I like the bronze quality of the prototype on the Emcee packaging, but the pattern effect in Dave's photo is neat because it reminds me of the show.

    I see what you mean about the size of the pattern, though.

    Regarding the vintage Gorn, I hever thought he was terrible. Try dressing him in an Urko uniform--pretty cool.
