Pics of some of my Star Trek Mego customs

Glad to see your back at it. Love the Lt. Hadley figure, for some reason I can't explain I've always wanted to see this figure made. Guess it's because he was in so many episoes, although he never said a word.

[wyldpny]

Thanks. We figured some collectors might like to have more crew members

Kelinda from the Kelvan Empire located in the distant Andromeda Galaxy:

A couple other crew members to add along with the other ones we have done:

Ok Ray, here ya go:







You might not be able to see some of the details in these images but for example what may look like some simple off white fabric is much more than that. My wife waited until she could find very screen accurate fabric which included the ridged striped vertical effect right in the fabric (where she then fringed the edges) just like what was used for the clothing on the actual episode, just in 8" Mego scale.


They look 100% better in person.
Alayne says she had a lot of fun making these two and had wanted to make this set of Gamma VI natives for a long time.

Been waiting quite a while on these, and they were worth the wait, they look great

Wow, makes me wish I had the Mission to Gamma 6 playset. (who am I kidding? I want one anyway!)

But one question...I thought the Children of Vol were orange?

They were a reddish brown (or a brownish red), but I think this is close to what Mego would've done

[wyldpny]

I believe it is safe to assume that Mego would not have done an "ish" color, like brownish red, or an orangish or redish something, etc.
They would probably have done a more solid primary color like the red seen here. It is still a watered down red color mixed with a flesh color. The camera flash lights it up and makes it look a brighter red than it actually is.
But it's that fine line my wife and I have had to walk at times between making the figures VERY screen accurate creating intricate trim and/or a complex skin color to making a more basic Mego style figure. Mego was about basic details, since the more the details meant more the cost.

[HardyGirl]

Oh ok...cool! Well, hey, I think they're plenty accurate...nice job!

Hmmm, I wonder when Captact will pop in here and comment on these:

Don't worry, Ray pops in from time to time, he'll see 'em

[wyldpny]

Check out those Mego scale cubeoctahedral solids in his hands

[HardyGirl]

That's cool! Looks just like him. And I love the cubicle things.
