    Mego of the Day: Cheron

    That's not Frank Gorshin under there but Mego did recycle an actor's head sculpt to make this figure. Can you name it?

            I thought this was a nice attempt at a simple, yet dramatic-looking alien.

            Limited long-term appeal, just average, but not embarrassing enough to be ranked with a vintage Mugatu.

              I've always liked Cheron. He's plain and simple but it works. Another must have

                My son just saw this episode of trek and was disappointed the guys weren't in half black and half white suits.

                      I rewatched it two weeks ago & was disappointed it didn't make more sense.

                        Never had this guy as a kid (in fact I don't think i was even aware there was a series of ST Aliens until the late 80's) but just recently acquired him. Don't understand why they went through all the trouble to color his body black though. Would've just been easier to pop a white & black hand on a standard body.

                          I like the Cheron figure, simple, campy, fun for kids. Not series accurate, but so what?

                              Swapped my black body out for a regular flesh one as i'm sure many of us have. Just switched the hands and head. Hopefully he should never get any worse.
