    Pics of some of my Star Trek Mego customs

    As many of you know I am selling many of my Star Trek items including some of my Mego's, both original and many of my customs.
    I realized that I had better get some pictures posted up here and documenting all of these great customs, since after all this is THE Mego place to show off such things
    In the process of selling off some of my Mego's, I have also come across many that were are in different states of being finished. With renewed motivation to not only finish these but to also create others, I will document here as best as I can many of these customs that I had created along with the growing number of new ones that my wife and I are continuing to create.

    With my beautiful wife Alayne now starting to help me with finding the correct accessories, fabric additions and trim, as well as, with "adjusting" some of the outfits for me and helping to add some of the trim and other detailing where needed we are quickly starting to amass quite a large number of Mego Star Trek custom figures, with most of them now being Trek figures that I have never seen anyone having created before.

    Here are a bunch getting ready to be shipped:


    Close ups:
    Young Spock as seen in the Animated Star Trek episode "Yesteryear". Custom card by Anthony - toyroom

    My attempt at Zarabeth. My wife's first attempt at making fur boots.

    It's cool to be able to look back and see what your first ones looked like compared to what you are able to do later on once you have more experience and figures under your belt.

    Close up of Lt. Uhura and Lt. Palamas:

    Yellow and blue dress uniforms by Brian Lietner. Blond head is I believe a DM head.
    My wife helped with getting Palamas's look correct, especially with the hair.

    An original Mego Cheron (Bele) and my custom "reverse" Cheron (Lokai):

    Reverse painted head by Doc Mego

    A more accurate looking Gorn (thanks to a Mego Lizard figure with swapped out legs (so the feet would bend down to allow slipping on of the boots:


    Kirk in Romulan disguise:

    Outfit is totally by me (with help from DM with outfit pieces) and I also reworked the head with the eyebrows and ears and painted where needed.

    Capt. Kirk in green belly wrap shirt in DST Captains Chair along with Mr. Spock and Lt. Uhura "on the bridge":

    Capt. Kirk: "Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely, looks like Satan?"
    Mr. Spock: "I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain"
    Capt. Kirk: "No, Mr. Spock, I didn't think you would be"

    Klingon Commander Kor:

    This figure is created totally by me by reworking an original Mego Klingon head, help from my wife with finding the correct gold trim to create the frayed sash, etc, sparkly black pants is actually from reworking a DM body suit and paints by me.
    His fu-manchu mustache is actually black doll hair cut down and glued on to the face to look very realistic and screen accurate.

    Lt. Uhura in yellow dress uniform:


    Lt. Palamas (From "Who Mourns for Adonais"):


    ...and two of my favorites, Kirk and Spock from "Mirror, Mirror":

    Kirk and Spock shirts by Brian L., Spock beard added on by Doc Mego.

    More pics to come soon...

        >sigh< Yup :(
        It's always sad to see them go. They look so damn good I want to keep them all.
        Of course at any time I really want one we can always just make one for myself I guess

                          Here is what I have been doing between work, book/magazine signings and so forth:


                          I like that my wife is actually helping me more with actually creating some of the outfits for me (like Apollo) that I would either have to pass on or consign out to Brian Lietner or someone else to do for me.

                          Don't you hate it when just as you go to take the picture, that is when the figures decide it's time to fall over:

                          LOL

                          Lots more to come...
