    Wow that looks so good, so authentic. Lol the button belt always made me laugh "Press here to activate Spock.", very simple control much like Rocketman's jetpack dial.

    Wow!! Very nice. I love your custom, but I really LOVE your display case. I don't mind the dueling Spocks. Your display is awesome and creative. Welcome to the forum.

    Okay, now I'm ready to call him done.
    Many thanks to TrekStar and Tiberiusguy for the suggestions to fix his collar.

    Yes, so This. I was checking it as well, the suits are doable, Spock might need a non striped suit though. There is a listing on eBay called a planet of the apes gun by reliving the past, it needs the round clip but I think it’s a Thompson gun otherwise. Worth a look, and easy fix. I think someone else was selling a 3D printed one as well… maybe Etsy?

    Thanks. Yeah, it could be fun variant for Mego. Although personally I'd like to see Kirk and Spock in their gangster outfits from "A Piece of the Action." Playmates made those figures in their 9" line in the late 90s but I'd like Mego to tackle them. I considered making them as another custom, too. ClassicTVToys offers pretty much all the clothing required. The challenge is finding Thompson submachine guns with drum magazines in 1:9 scale.

    Love this custom, considered it for an extra Spock.
    Thanks man. Great minds think alike - I thought about simply folding over the collar last night.
    It should work - I'll just need to tack it down with super glue. I'll post an update in a day or so.

    The dickie was made by sacrificing a 12" GI Joe shirt.

    If you wanted to get it a little better, you could carefully remove the collar on the POTA jumpsuit.

    sometimes I try to be a perfectionist but that’s just me, it looks good with the collar too, great job and hope to see a few more in the future.
    Thank you! Yeah, you're right - without the collar it would look more accurate. I'll take another look at the collar and see how doable it is to remove. Those stitches are tiny and my eyesight sucks.

    The custom is better than the episode. Nicely done.
