    Mego of the Day: Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy


    No "Dammit Jim" jokes please. I've always loved this figures expression, it's a great likeness.

    Now we're talking .......

    Great figure, great sculpt, great uniform, great character !!!!!!!

    A little secret, many times when me and my buddies would play Star Trek with our Megos, I would be Bones.
    His personality was the coolest of the whole crew.
    He was the REGULAR GUY

      This has to be one of the best likenesses Mego ever did. A must have for any Mego collection.

        Great figure. Absolutely.

            Good old Doctor McCoy. He is the sole reason, IMHO, classic Trek works so well, while the others dont. A character that we all can relate to. He sort of "grounded" the whole thing, making the outlandish seem believable.
            I have always found the sculpt kind of amusing. If you (well, me anyways) just look at it as a whole, it doesnt look very accurate until you focus in on the eyebrows, then...suddenly...it all comes together and you can really see DeForest Kelley staring back.

                  I was lucky enough to see DeForrest Kelley at a Trek con before he died. He had a wonderful sense of humor. I've always liked my "Bones" figure. He stands in the makeshift sickbay of my Mego Enterprise holding consult over a Cheron, a Romulan and my own Zoltanian.

                    Mego really did a great job with all the trek figures. I know a few companies that make figures today that could use some help from mego.

                      The only Star Trek figure I had up until last year was Kirk. I only got Kirk and the Enterprise set while my friend and cousin both had more figures. My friend had Bones & Spock while my cousin had the whole crew plus Klingon and Enterprise. I actually have two McCoys right now due to a BIN steal a couple months ago on ebay on the whole crew minus Uhura.
                      Mego did a good job on all the Trek figures IMO.

                        I gotta agree on how well done are the sculpts on the Trek line. I think Kirk is bit better, but the eybrow is a great way to capture this character.

                          Yeah, he's always been one of my favorite Star Trek characters AND figures. Very nice! D. Kelly was great!

                            Any Mego must have.

                            With my Treks from my childhood all were T2 except for Bones who was T1. Not knowing that all of the Megos had become T2 bodies and having all of my WGSH from a few years earlier, as a kid I thought they had put his head on a WGSH body by mistake

                            It actually worked kind of nice since McCoy usually stood next to Kirk's chair, he never really had to bend at the waist all that good and sit down and, being a T1, he was less muscular than Kirk and Spock. Which I thought matched the character in the show.
                            It's all good!

                              Great likeness, as with all the Star Trek figures. Mego really did a great job with these
