My version of STTOS Romulan Commander
This is my custom-made Mego Star Trek Romulan Commander from Balance of Terror, played by Mark Leonard. I've been collecting parts and planning this for about 2 years.
"You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend..."
Head of Sarek by Capt Dunsel, cast & painted by Dave McCormick. Pants and sash by my wife, Collette!
It uses a vintage Mego Type-2 body, because the pants were too tight to get on a Doc Mego body! (The pattern at the museum assumes the stretchy Mego fabric, but the fabric I found was a tighter cotton.) Repro Mego Romulan body suit from EMCE's new retro Trek line with the legs cut off. Soft boots and long gloves by Cast-a-Way Toys, which were the last bits I needed for him, that I picked up at MegoMeet this weekend. I still need to paint his hair a darker shade, and maybe put a little shading around his eyes.
This episode was one of my top 3 favorites from the classic Trek. Special thanks to my non-Museum friend Ed Wires, for sharing reference images from a mainstream plastic action figure of the character he was hired to paint-master. (I don't know if that figure has or will be released...)
