Our Mego of the Day for this fine Monday is Captain Zantor from the UK only Space:1999 series, who was portrayed by esteemed actor Christopher Lee but many have suggested that he looks more like William Shatner. What do you think?
He does kind of look like a Kirk resculpt, but I love the figure regardless. I used to have both the blonde and white haired version of the figure, but when I thinned some stuff out I got rid of the blonde in favor of the show accurate white.
1999 is one of my favorite lines. I really think they did a nice job with it, despite not including Bergman and Russell.
Space hippie - hair, robes and no shoes. Peace man!
I still need an original black overcoat for mine. He is currently wearing the CTVT issue and then my Space 1999 set is 100% complete.

Agreed on all posts ~ It was one of the earliest eps that really exemplified the eeriness the show was to take at it's best. Especially for the late-night time slots that it held when the first year premiered here..
As for the sculpt, much like the rest of the 1999 line, it commands a fine, distinctive appreciation. Nothing animated or amatuerish about it. Very well done..!
I dont know between him and the keeper what are we trying to say.. Shoes are the sign of an inferior species? Youd think foot coverings would come sometime before space travel.
Seriously Christopher Lee was great in that episode.
Lo there do I see my Father.
Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
Lo they do call me.
They bid me take my place among them.

This was my first collector Mego, I ordered him sight unseen and was surprised when I got a Mego figure. It triggered all sorts of questions in my head like "what other figures did they make that I don't know about?" My focus changed from Sco Fi collectibles to Mego within a few weeks.

Another point: Much like the character Christopher Lee played, his expression doesn't convey any good/evil intentions. Purely a cool character from an highly-advanced race...
