Star Trek Alien CHERON?

PS Ron Harper is playing the Cheron.

Pretty sure you meant this for Mego fact, so i moved it.

I don't think any of this is cost cutting, I think it's a way of making a design more appealing to children.

Mego wasn't really interested in creating replicas of the aliens as this trek line was probably the last to be marketed to kids, not adult collectors.

Also, if he's naked, why does he have a belt? That's gross, like a vestigial tail or something.

Confused... Are you selling?

I know when Mego was releasing the Star Trek figures they cut alot of cost but this is one figure that just bothered me. The Star Trek Alien CHERON figure was released NAKED and they only released one half of the alien race.


Furthermore it didn't even look like the TV version since one of the Cheron was played by Frank Gorshin. I never got that figure because it wasn't right.


Then years later I find out the EMCE was reproducing the Star Trek Megos so this made me happy that maby somebody would release the Frank Gorshin Bele character just to find out that they released the same naked Cheron figure.


So we have this messed up figure that got released twice with the same problems:

* Head was made wrong (Why didn't they at least one of the generic instead of the hooded head)

* He was naked!!! (why wasn't he released with his grey outfit)

* where was the other half of his race??? (Somebody should have thought about how cheap it would have been to release the same figure but opposite paint job to sell another figure)
