Best Old Mego Likeness

[Megotastrophe]

Ok old Mego Only

Which celebrity got the best likeness? Any real world person released by Mego.
My vote is Tom Baker as Dr Who

[Earth 2 Chris]

Shatner as Captain Kirk. Still one of the best sculpts of the man ever made, and there have been TONS. I don't think anyone has actually surpassed it. It captures his confident bravado and sense of humor like none other.

I think Mego really did an excellent job on all the old Star Trek figures (except for Gorn).

[TrekStar]

Kind of out of left field but, I think Mego did a nice job on Grandpa Walton (Will Geer) actually they did a nice job with (Ralph Waite) and (Richard Thomas) as well, Pa and John Boy, but not so much with the females of the line.

I thought Grandma Walton was pretty good, and to a lesser extent, Ma Walton was too. Mary Ellen Walton, while not a bad looking figure has the least resemblance to the actress who portrayed her (IMO).

Agreed.

The "Wizard of Oz" and "Our Gang/Little Rascals" were very well done too.

[apes3978]

I think they did a pretty good job capturing the likeness of Ron Harper AKA "Alan Virdon"

[Megotastrophe]

David Naughton was good too as the other astronaut. His nephew went onto fame in the 80s first as the lead singer and dancer of the Be a Pepper commercials and then as the American Werewolf in London.

I agree with Chris about Shatner and his Mego likeness. I also think Martin Landau's Commander John Koenig Mego is a really good one.

James Naughton was the POA astronaut. David was the American Werewolf. They were brothers.

[Megotastrophe]

I always thought they were uncle and nephew. Not that I can remember which is which

[rayray]

I thought Sonny and Cher were slam dunks.

[Fener]

No doubt Robert Taylor as Ivanhoe

[Werewolf]

Definitely TV series Kirk.

The Mego likenesses weren't really dead on to the actor's/character's faces, but they did usually manage to capture the recognizable essence. Best examples are Kirk (a mix of animated and Shatner, but very much capturing the feel of the captain with that expression) and Cornelius from POA (again, not a dead-on representation of the ape makeup, but that bemused expression just nailed the attitude of the character so perfectly).
