So the other day I was looking at my Mego Mr. Scott standing next to his Playmates counterpart, and I noticed that the mego had his hair parted on the left side, and the playmate had his parted on the right. I thought," Ok, they can't both be right." I looked at a couple of episodes and guess what? Mr. Scott's hair is parted on the right! Has anyone else ever noticed this? Does this mean that the mego is from an alternate universe?

Ya know...now that you mentioned it...and I'm looking at my Scotty...or 'Scottie' Mego...Hey, YOUR RIGHT! GOOD CATCH!

My guess would be that they were going by a reverse photo when they did his hair.Comment

I've always just been glad they didn't go with the season 3 comb-back look:

Good catch. Looks like further proof that the Trek figures were based off of the animated series rather than the live action version...

Mego Scottie's eyes are blue and the playmates version is more accurate with the brown eyes. I shrunk a pm Scott but still use the Mego Scott head because its just so awesome no matter the flaws, we all love our mego Scottie!!

The hair on Mego Mr. Scott makes no sense to me. Doesn' t look at all like Doohan's style from any season.Comment

Although I do love the sculpt, I've never thought it even slightly resembled Mr. Scott. It's kind of like Mego released a generic red shirt.Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.Comment

I'm going to make the shrunken Playmates Scott if anyone is interested in one, then he will look exactly like Jimmy Doohan.Comment

weren't the Trek figures based on the cartoon rather than the TV show?" But you can't kill me, i'm a Genius "Comment
