Topps Megos

[nubee]

I think they both look great, the likenesses are pretty spot on. I can see where the height difference and body structure on Kor could be a bit aggravating to some, but a nice job was done on these nevertheless.

Yes Kor is a very nicely done if not for the height and loose hip joint issues that seem to plauge this Sidekick body. (At least mine has a nice normal waist tension.)

For those who find the height issue "blah," Captain Marvel and Black Adam r going to be BIG disappointments especially when the suits r too small to be used on a regular Mego or Type S bodies. (Kor seems to be transferable to a regular Mego or Type S.) And to think I bought 2 of each (CM & BA)..... hoping to keep one of each MIP.

I sincerely hope Mego correct this disaster of a body for the Ghostbusters which I am still eager to have.....for now.

I don't understand why Mego claimed the height difference is minimal.

Kor is on that horrible kinda loose hip joint Sidekick body and Kang is on a regular Mego body NOT a Type S.

Good thing about this is maybe those who couldn't buy them when they were offered are able to find them on eBay for a reasonable price. I can't see anyone paying even retail price for Megos on that Sidekick body.

It might work in this specific case, but in a broader context it doesn’t/wouldn’t work. They really need to correct the scale, which they reportedly have, so fingers crossed the differences will be negligible from here on out.

I don’t like that Spock is short.

i actually like that there is a slight height difference. gives a little contrast on the shelf

It's a matter of perspective. Kor next to Kang isn't too bad. Kirk towering over Kor is not optimal though.

Makes it easier for Kirk to kick his butt.

Would love to hear Mego say that... "If you can prove that you have the small body version..We will replace it with correct size body for free".

The height difference between Kor and Kang doesn’t bother me. It does give them contrast. Plus actor John Colicos was average height and Michael Ansara was tall.

Back to back and side by side like that, you really can see there's a substantial difference in height.

Wow, that is a stark difference. I haven't taken Kor or TMP Spock off their cards yet. My idea is to get the Kor on a corrected body from retail, and just leave this one MOC. We'll see, though.

Kor looks great. Hope the re-release (or variant?) is this good.

Hi all!

Yes. Worf is excellent. What did you think of Kor?

I really like Kor! Doing a comparison between Kor and Kang, and you really notice all the extra effort that went into Kor's uniform, including the detailing on his belt buckle, the better fitting sash with the extra doo-dads on it, the squared collar on his shirt, and silver paint on his disrupter. He was more expensive than Kang, but we do get something for that money!

I like Spock's more "screen accurate" uniform, though part of me wishes they had gone with the prototype's "screen inaccurate" vintage 12" Mego-style Spock uniform, leaving this version for a general release. I'm assuming the use of a TV series Spock photo on the back of the card is the Curse of the Style Guide striking again.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the figures, and am looking forward to the impending arrival of the four Planet of the Apes figures!

with reference to captain shazam ,in hind sight i think i now prefer the gold trim on the figure as it seem more appropriate with the realism of the head sculpt ,not sure the yellow would fare so well

your mileage may vary lol
