    Even the females in WOZ had good likenesses which is really saying something

    The Wizard of Oz characters are really well done, the Tin Man in particular.

    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).

    I thought Sonny and Cher were slam dunks.

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

    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.

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

    Agreed.

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

    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).
