    EMCE Sightings

    My wife and I went Christmas shopping today and I headed into a bigger comic store in the city to see what was new.

    The first thing I saw when I entered the door was a whole wall of EMCE Star Trek and Apes, it's a sight that I'm still not used to as it gave me kind of a jolt. I wish I had a camera phone cause it was pretty neat. They had every figure including Khan.

    To top it off, the store was having a 30% off sale, so I nabbed some apes for my kids this Christmas. They're pretty much spot on as far as I can tell.

    What? NO camera?? Argh!
    Well Brian, you know what that means...
    ..another road trip back to the store
    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"

        Saw them in a couple of stores at the local mall here as well. Newbury Comics, FYE and a vintage toy store as well. Looks like some kids will be getting some Mego joy on Christmas Day.
        It's not a doll it's an action figure.

          I've seen some Trek EMCEs at Dr. Comics and Mr. Games, but I haven't seen any EMCEs in awhile.

                Wish you had a camera, would've loved seeing that wall cause I'll likely never see anything like that over here

                  I likely will return just to snap the image, it's the first dedicated EMCE section I've seen anywhere.

                      It was in a comic store, but I had the same reaction whern I saw a bunch of Treks and Apes hanging from the pegs. I think I suffered a momentary sense of time travek, seeing those beautiful cards on the wall. The disorientation quickly fades, but its a neat, fleeting feeling. It was an easy call to buy a Mugato and Romulan. I actually felt a little guilt leaving those Apes on the wall. I feel an almost obligation to suppert these guys. I have bought about 5 of them and will definitely grab a Khan, Chekov and Sulu the first chance I get.

                              Well if they are showing up in regular stores instead of just comic shops then maybe the sales will be higher than expected opening the door to more figures?
                              Personally I can see no sense in buying any of the repros as I have all the originals but I would definitely be interested in an expanded line of new figures.
