Anyone know if Doc will have Zulu/Gorn available at the NYC ComicCon 09'. I just got a brand new credit card that's shootin' on all cylinders....Rarin' to go!!!
You know, that reminds me that Power Records made some of the book/record stories w/ a BLACK Sulu. And that was probably for the very same reason...the artist probably heard ZULU instead of SULU. (and they made Uhura WHITE!)

Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

I watched that one episode where Uhura speaks Swahili to this guy, and I asked my husband if that was correct, what they were saying because the accents were so bad. He said he couldn't understand what they were saying and didn't realize it was Swahili.

I was always wondering if it was a rights issue, that they would have to pay more for likenesses and they figured all they needed was the big three (Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley).
Also, what's funny is that their Lt. Mress sort of resembled Uhura with Halloween makeup.
Having Mress in one of the stories adds fuel to my theory that a lot of the early Power Records stories came from unproduced scripts for the animated series.
Voiced by Nichelle Nichols Uhura was in the Animated series on and off along with Lt. M'Ress. Just about the entire cast was in the Animated series doing the voices and James Doohan did a lot of other voices, mostly aliens besides doing his own Mr. Scott character. Power records on the other hand had very cool album cover artwork but the voices and stories were not that great. I remember hearing Kirk say (who's voice was not William Shatner), "Lt to Uhura" instead of just "Lt. Uhura" LOL
The voices on the Peter Pan/Power Records as far as I am aware of were done by other people and not by any of the original cast.
Capt. Kirk: "Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely, looks like Satan?"
Mr. Spock: "I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain"
Capt. Kirk: "No, Mr. Spock, I didn't think you would be"
Did you realize that MONDAY is GROUNDHOG DAY?
Imagine constantly living the same day over and over again, THIS CLOSE to receiving the new Gorn & Sulu set, yet never being able to see them in person...
