Pics of some of my Star Trek Mego customs

[ScottA]

I REALLY like the ST:II outfits. Are those from the playmates figues and were they hard to cut down?

Thanks, they are still for sale. PM me if interested.
Yes, they are from the playmates larger sized figures and my wife says they were a bit of a pain to scale down as the outfits are so intricate and detailed.
She has said that she does not want to do anymore of "those" for awhile LOL

[wyldpny]

your making a killing on the apollo set on ebay. seems like a great set to do more of..lol

Yes, that set seems to be doing well. Anyone who has made customs like these before knows that they are quite time consuming and expensive to create and with rising eBay listing and ending fee's, PayPal fee's, etc added on to the cost of materials, figures, outfits, quality backer cards and so on, sadly you have to have them sell for a good amount to even start to show any real profit :(

Some close ups to see the intricate detail on these customs:

My wife did an outstanding job especially on Miramanee. I think a romantic dinner is in store for her tonight

Anthony's cards are great, front and back.

Here is a set of custom Mego Kirk and Scotty with dress uniforms.
The Kirk outfit is a modified Playmates large figure shirt altered by my wife.
Mr. Scott's outfit is all custom made by my wife:


Kirk's dress uniform was seen in a variety of episodes including "Court Martial", "Is There In Truth No beauty", "The Savage Curtain" and "Journey to Babel" and Mr. Scott wearing his Scottish style dress uniform was seen in "Is there in truth no beauty" and in "The Savage Curtain".
A little anal trivia: Mr. Scott's socks were red in "The Savage Curtain" but were white in "Is there in truth..."

Here is screen shot from "The Savage Curtain":


Here is a close up of the completed outfit my wife Alayne created:

I'm really diggin' all of these variations....and it's fun creating these variant cards as well.

You "da man" Anthony!
I'm certainly keeping you busy and on your toes with all of these various characters and their variations
And with my wife now pulling out my DVD sets and watching episodes and taking detailed notes then going to the fabric store and creating all of these awesome new outfits/characters, it has been interesting to say the least that's for sure.

Who is Trek geeky enough to recognize who this custom Mego figure represents:

[wyldpny]

Or how about this figure. Who can guess who this is:


And this one:



My wife says she loved to create this guy. I think she really outdid herself with him.
The head and paints are by me.
She said she can't wait to see how great he looks on his toyroom custom card that should be arriving any day now to our mailbox

[Meule]

The last one is Roger C. Carmell as Harry Mudd, that female custom is one of Mudd's Women.
Don't recognize the knight tho, can't be Trelane

[sauce]

wow! this is a lot of fun to watch. your wife is quite the secret weapon!

Yeah, I think the Harry Mudd one is a pretty easy one to recognize especially since my wife did such a great job on him
The Mudds Women character is more obscure so that's pretty cool that you guessed that one. Her name is Magda
The red outfitted figure "knight" as you call him is actually not a knight but a famous dashing character known for his ability to romance any women he desires who tries to have his "way" with one of the female Enterprise crew members.

And speaking of Trelane....among quite a few other customs we are working on one of him as well.

[wyldpny]

wow! this is a lot of fun to watch. your wife is quite the secret weapon!

Thanks, she is amazing
She has a growing list of Trek figures she is shopping for material and trim to start to create so I can't wait to see what Star Trek characters she comes up with next.
Anthony, you had better be standing by ready for another order

Here's is Kirk in his Starfleet dress uniform on his "toyroom" blister card:
