    A few new ones:

    Kirk as seen in "Assignment Earth":



    Kirk as seen in "The Deadly years":

    I don't have the correct card for this one yet so the figure is posed on a generic Kirk card for the time being

    It's hard to get a good close up with my camera that shows the detailing on this one without the picture getting blurry or washed out:
    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"

      This set was created by using a somewhat standard Mego Kirk along with a totally scratch built custom Anti-Matter Bomb accessory:





      Here is one of the actual screen shots of the Anti-Matter Bomb that I used for reference:

          Very nice work. Did Doc hire you when he put out that call?

              Your works are amazing especially the clothing, my favorite is captain pike. It looks as if you used the head from the playmates 9in figure. I have been shrinking those to be mego scale and putting them on mego bodies. I was wondering if you sold uniforms, like captain pike or a sisko, picard, riker ect..???

                Thanks. My wife is an incredible sewer and her attention to detail is amazing.
                We have made some of the clothing for TNG characters off and on so yes we can do those. The big interest in custom Trek figures is still the original series as we have found making and trying to sell custom Mego TNG figures or any of the other Trek series to be not profitable enough to keep doing them.
                We have not done a lot of making and selling of just the clothes/outfits so far, but if you have a list of wants just send me a PM or e-mail and we can go from there

                  Is there anything that appeared in TOS that you haven't done?!?!?!?

                  I hadn't looked at this thread since it started and am now going back over the 80+ pages. SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!!!! I am stunned at the quality and creativity involved in these figures, etc. Truly great work.

                    I've actually just delayed a meeting at work for 30 minutes because of this thread!!!

                    I have to go now, but I've only made it through about half of the pages. Just plain WOW! You and your wife (and Anthony) make an awesome team.

                      As amazing as it may seem, yes there is still quite a few characters/figures left from the original series that we still have not done yet.
                      Just a few of the episodes we are getting ready to make figures from are:
                      The Cage/The Menagerie
                      Where No Man Has Gone Before
                      The Man Trap
                      The Corbomite Maneuver
                      Court Martial
                      A Taste of Armageddon
                      Errand of Mercy
                      Doomsday Machine
                      The Omega Glory
                      and many more...
                      All in good time
                      Capt. Kirk: "Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely, looks like Satan?"

                        I thought I would see how accurate the two figures along with the Anti-Matter Bomb would look to the original image:



                        if I posed them like what you see in the screen cap above. Let me know what you think:

                          I like it. I think you should include Garravick in the packaged set.

                            Great reenactment.

                            Man, it must be hard to part with these things. I'd want to play with them all day.

                                That's so cool. I love how Mego captured the Captain's smirk so perfectly.
