I guessed if I were to remove 2018 Captain Kirk's eyebrows, dye his paler head with tan Ritt (as well as his hands), repaint his eyes & eyebrows to look like the classic Mego, he'd look improved. I just finished the customized Kirk that I had envisioned. The new eye paint definitely camouflaged the deeply inset eyes from the latest sculpt's release. The contemporary figure is aligned against a classic Kirk.
I haven't worked on dyeing the new Megos bodies, but I am pleased with the results of the head & hands. The Ritt dye doesn't take on the wrist pins, but I used different dye mixes to get a competent shade of tan/brown on the head & hands. I highlighted parts of the newer tanned face by tracing some acetone along the cheek lines, lightning facial features of the newly dyed face.
I am sharing a few snapshots of my work as it was in progress.
