Phoebe, Spock, and Greg

[LonnieFisher]

I think it's interesting that his insignia is screen printed, because my Sulu (from wave 1) has the stick on kind.
I could also swear I saw a photo of wave 2 Spock with the metallic stick on insignia, but the one in the Mego Museum gallery is a different Spock (you can tell by placement of the tricorder strap) and he also has the screen printed insignia.

I'm not sure what to think about the stripes on the sleeves.
Sulu also has one braid with yellow thread in the center, dividing it.
Was his rank 1 braid or 2?

Sulu has his sewn down with the thread that matches closest to his rank color so it doesn't look like separate stripes. Spock has thread to separate the stripes that matches his shirt.
That's my expert opinion.

I'm not sure these are really silver. This one on ebay has gold with a blue thread that splits the stripe in two, to make it accurate.

Nice. Hopefully more of them are right than wrong!

I think Spock looks fine.

Just having the Mego name on it makes it PERFECT.

Looks like two gold stripes to me.
Is this another one of those Blue Dress pics?!? haha.
That symbol on the shirt does indeed look screened on. I like that change.

Toy designs are their own thing. These are simplified - cartoon if you will- designs, not hyper-accurate miniature statues. They're toys for kids. The original Mego figures sure as h@ll weren't accurate. (Gorn is one of a multitude of examples) Neither were the original Star Wars toys from Kenner (Greedo, Walrusman and Hammerhead were some of the coolest in the line!)

Yes, they do. The blue thread is clever.

Yup. Those stripes look better in that pic.

[Mary Canary]

Is it me, or is the Starfleet symbol screenprinted on his shirt? I thought it was the silver sticker type in earlier photos of him. And on Sulu and Chekov.

[The Bat]

Oh NO!! Look at the eyebrows...they don't go straight up! Nimoy use to have to have his eyebrows shaved half off to get that look.

[LonnieFisher]

Oh, it is worse than that:

a) Silver not gold.
b) 1 braid not 2.
c) Too thick.
d) Too high up his sleeve.

I'm not trying to be critical, but those mistakes are puzzling to me.

It would have been nice for them to put the phaser belt under his shirt like they did with Sulu and Chekov. Just so they would match in the packages.

[Mary Canary]

If it is really problematic and you plan to open him, you could probably snip the silver braid off and find something that matches Kirk's gold braids to sew on in place of the silver.

great... silver rank braids again

Easy fix - take a yellow sharpie to the braid and carefully color it in. Let it dry. Works great!

Great idea!
