I am going to try and do a small youtube video of the Yarnek toy with the voice in the background from the DVD and I will time his eyes lighting up to when the voice speaks.

On a related note, I just found this pic of me in my collection room getting ready to lock up for the night:

Unfortunately in that picture most of my Mego toys and figures are off camera to the left, except for say one of my Mego Mission to Gamma VI and Enterprise playsets with a few other random pieces that you can see behind me.

This is an interesting shot:

The custom cards on the shelves are by ToyRoom and the custom boxes are by Mego73

Great outfit on the Romulan centurion, but that carded Yarnek is way cool

You are on a roll!

As much as I life your wife's sewing, I must admit, Nomad and Yarnek are awfully cool... and not something I ever expected to see Mego customs for.

Oh, and you should take more pics of your figures before you card them. As much as I love seeing the packaged figure, it's nice to see all your hard work without a bubble getting in the way.

I usually take a few pictures of them as stand alone figures before I card them up so any figures anyone wants to see off the card just let me know and I can see about posting a few pics up of them.

I'm making my Melkotian, and I'm considering putting lights in his head also.
What's bugging me: if I want to card him, how do I light him up, and what if the battery goes?
Hmmmm....

Btw: GREAT Nomad!!!!!

Thanks, Nomad is pretty cool
As for the battery issue, depending on where the battery is located you can either have an open hole (door) in the back of the card to make it accessible to get to and change the battery without removing it (I see quite a few electronic toys that have this) or in the case of my Yarnek where the battery is actually in a small box on the wires you can leave the bubble unsealed at the bottom so the loose wires and the battery box can be pulled out through the bottom of the blister bubble enough to get to and change the battery.

Yarnek looks great on itself, but adding the lights was a stroke of genius, that looks so cool

I proudly present... an electronic light-up custom Mego Star Trek large size action figure toy of "Yarnek":


Carded toy features a "try me" button on the blister bubble which when pressed will light his red eyes up just like what was seen in the TOS episode "The Savage Curtain":


Yarnek measures a little over 9" tall by about 7" wide which includes his tail that sticks out off to his left side.
This one was truly a labor of love and one that I have been wanting to do for some time now.
I have been planning and working on him on and off for a few weeks and once Anthony's card arrived it quickly motivated me to finish him and get the lights installed in his head.

Card back:

Eyes lit up:


This one certainly is one of those that looks even better in person... and is a lot of fun

Custom Yarnek by me, card by Toyroom
