New here - Star Trek Megos

[GreenLantern9999]

DST actually has a company called EMCE (pronounced MC) make there Mego styled figures and Dr. Mego is EMCE and the way it sounds is that EMCE is going to officially be MEGO soon if not already! I love Docs products! And yes Khan came out but only as an exclusive.

New here - Star Trek Megos

Hello,

I just joiend today. I collect strictly Mego Star Trek and I have had all of the 8" classic bridge crew and the Klingon for years both loose/complete and on mint cards. In fact, I had Shatner, Nimoy and Nichelle Nichols sign their MEGO figure cards over the last 6 years or so at various conventions.

I also have all but the 3.75" aliens from ST:TMP and I have the 12" figures all mint in near mint to mint boxes but of course, all of the figures' faces have turned blue....

Anyway, I came across Dr. Mego a few years ago and from him, acquired the parts to make a "Mego" Sulu and Chekov to complete the bridge crew and also a repro Mego Romulan since I could never afford the original even loose.

Then when Diamond Select came out with their repros, I snagged the Andorian. I was going to snag the Gorn since they improved it over the original but since I already have the 12" Playmates Gorn, I decided against it.

Sorry for rambling. What do you folks out there think of Dr. Mego's stuff? I know he used the Playmates 9" figure heads, shrunk them down and cast them in resin to get them in 8" scale.

Honestly, the likenesses that Diamond Select came out with for Sulu and Chekov were not so great vs. Dr. Mego although the Chekov looks a bit like Willem DaFoe.

Now I also lost track of Diamond Select's Mego-style Khan. Did that ever come out? I am on their site a lot as I buy many of their Art Asylum-style Trek figures and I never saw Khan mentioned except as a News flash last year. I don't see him on their Retro Figures page.

Thanks!
Phil
