Tomlands??

[Al Barrett]

If Doc (or someone else I guess) does do these, I kinda hope they dont use the same feet or hands. I hated the wilted flower hands (especially the right hand design...what the heck was that all about?). The feet are kinda goofy too. If you have to have different feet maybe Paul could figure out how to re-use the Gorn and Mugato designs...thus helping pay off the tooling costs for same. As for hands...I prefer normal ones.

Sounds like a good idea,re-use Gorn&Mugato feet designs;it's true that some TOMLAND hands were "exagerated" and somehow useless,they couln't hold anything.A 'normal' Mego hand would be great plus an extra one(I mean like
the LIZARD,one hand to hold a weapon of some sort and one fisted,something like that would fit perfectly)-my opinion.

I've been making custom hands that match the originals for my custom Tomlands. (Folks have been using the Morlosck ones for all sorts of customs.... Telarites and Nightcrawler mostly.) They're just not the same without the weird hands and feet.

I like them just they way they are.
Goofy mismatched coloured suits and even goofer hands are what gives them their character.

So if they ever do re-release them,gotta keep the same goofy hands whatever the cost???!!!Would-you buy 25-30$ for a new Tomland-like Star Raiders figure?

Just a question.
If your going to take their suits off and put them in Star Trek uniforms, and you just want regular hands. Why not get somebody to do so custom resin heads and put them on Mego bodies? Seems like a much cheaper way of doing things to me.

I was answering to a suggestion made on this thread...me,personaly I like them as they are and would add them as "aliens" beside the ST TOS figures.If I ever come accross a naked fig.(Tomland)I'd put a CTTV toys cosmos 1999 repro suit on
That's what I ment,the rest is only speculations about an eventual new release of those figures.

I took them out of there outfits because i hated them, Because I think they really could of done the outfits better. Flowing robes, and space suits......etc
some of the hands are nice and Alien ,the only thing I would change is make them more functional Girp or make the bendie hands and have them pop out.
I like the alien looking hands, What i don't like is the closed hands or non funtional hands
Or hands that make impossiable to put outfits on ,the molded in weapons also a pain.
They do have a charm,they could of done better.

Do-you still have those outfits? I would do the same only if they would be stained(without any chance of cleaning'em)or clothes ripped etc.
Knowing that Dr,Mego already have the Yeti,fly and some other heads,combined with a matching colored body and Cosmos 1999 outfits...
that could make an interresting alien...I might try one one of these days...

That's how I got my Dral. I put the heads on Mego bodies, and replace the hands and feet as neccessary.

>Goofy mismatched coloured suits and even goofer hands are what gives them their character.

Yup! Although I make better quality versions of the outfits. The originals were durned cheap.
