    why, why, WHY!!! With all of the loose Spocks out there, why buy a carded one just to open it and rip the head off?!?!?!

    (Edit: it's really cool that it came from someone on there though!)

      That's really cool. I guess that big bucks TV production companies can afford to waste money on MOC toys just to open them up. Good thing it was something common.

          I am going to try emailing him...we'll see if he responds...I'll ask if the one I sold him was used last night or if they are using it in a future epsiode.
          Will update when I know more.

              With the upcoming epsisode on March 29th and the MEGO Spock making an appearance, I doubt it will be this one that I sold (since they popped the head off for that episode) but you never know.

                    It seems like people in TV production only understand "immediately".
                    The guy you were dealing with was probably told the day before the
                    shoot to get a MEGO Spock and it has to look good on TV.

                      I just sold a carded Iron man to be used in season 6 of The Big Bang. The production guy mentioned something about "Raj microwaving Sheldon's most prized possession"....

                              The fact that this discussion is still going on is a ringing endorsement of
                              the Spock we made.

                              It is hard to tell ours from the original unless you are holding the two
                              in your hands.

                              Last Christmas, I handed family members a vintage Andorian and my
                              Andorian and asked them to say which was which. Most of the time,
                              they thought the vintage one was the reproduction because of the
                              hollowness of the MEGO body. But they are not MEGO fans.
