Anyone get Sulu & Gorn yet?

Thanks Rche, you should buy MORE gorns and use them to upgrade your Dunsel.

I know I am certainly going to be buying a few more of them.

Can't get over all the lovely green!

DUDE!!! Where did you get the Tunic & Brown Cuffs...I WANT SOME!!!!!!

hiya doc,

I know that you will lose some detail in a sculpt as it goes down the line into assembly. Differences in plastics, shrinkage, and -as you stated- detail in the original sculpt.

I am not saying it is bad, I like the new gorn. Merely a comparison comment.

There really is no comparison between a custom/handmade item and a factory produced one and I know that. As I said, these were just observations. My post was a look at an earlier take, and now the 'official' factory product. I really should have put Megos Gorn in there as well. I have quite a fondness for the cost saving construction that Mego did with their Gorn.

The only disappointment I had with the figure was with the construction flaws. I seem to be on a roll with that (I have had thee figures with problems). I hope it is not a trend from your manufacturer.

One big difference I noticed is in the EMCE Khan. In James original Cast...the face tecture is a little rough...but the EMCE Rotocast Khan, is PERFECTLY smooth & flawless...I LOVE it, it's a definate improvement!

Came home today to my Sulu/Gorn delivery from NewForce.. thanks, Rick!

Anyone seeing any thumb issues with their figs? Both my Sulu and Gorn have a couple bum thumbs.. like the plastic wasn't formed well, or took some dings in the bubble. It's hard to tell. My Sulu is also missing part of an eyebrow (you can see the black paint on the bubble from it), and his nose is a bit worse for wear too.

Haven't ordered them yet, but they sure as hell are on my want list

Ham, Nice crowd you got going on that starship Mr. Gorn looks like he means business.

Hard to tell in the photo, but is that a pink lip Scottie?

[Hamonrye]

Yes, he's a minty Type 1 that I transferred to a Type 2 body. He still has the foil on his badge!

Picked up a Gorn at Newbury Comics last night on the way home, My favorite Original series alien and he looks awesome. I'll have to pick up Sulu on payday.

[Mego Milk]

Aw yeah Gorn!
I gottem in NYC over the weekend!

Gee maybe if I sent the money out I'd get em. Just found the envelope stuck in my check book waiting for me to buy stamps. Sorry Paul it's in the mail today.

Well, the original resin Khan was James first human face sculpt. He perfected his technique over the years and got much smoother and flawless over time, as shows in the EMCE Khan. THe EMCE Khan is also Brady's work, but it is a totally new sculpt and it really shows how far he's come.

Got mine from Paul today.

My buddy Shawn (aka The Falcon) sent me a Sulu, and it just arrived! YAY! Now when I get Chekov, my bridge crew will be complete!

I love that picture!

It is the realization of the dream I have had since I was ten years old,
well maybe fourteen - when I realized that there were no new Star
Trek Megos coming to the toy store.
