    Your mistaken..... It has already been addressed and taken care of.
    You must haved the several posts a couple months ago on the 2nd run Kirks that already have taken care of the issue and went with a darker colored shirt, the 2nd run Klingon has also changed slightly and is in post that I did myself.

    I just reasoned: SHOULD there be a second wave, it MIGHT be corrected, like the sleeve insignia being corrected from silver to gold for Kirk.
    The siver bands were TRUE factory screw ups, thus the reason for the correct redue on the second run. The Gorn red wristlets were NOT a screw up, so there is there is no reason to correct what was done factory correct to begin with.

    Just wishful HYPOTHETICAL thinking here, based on scientific evidence gathered from previous EMCE missions.

    It was the Spock/Bones shirts that had silver bands. EMCE Kirk's insignia bands were always gold-- my problem with him is the too-light canary-yellow shirt, which if I'm not mistaken is going to be addressed.

    ETA obligatory shout-out to EMCE who are, after all, doing an awesome job

    Amazing - in the space of 35 minutes we go from:

    "maybe I should wait for the second edition release, with "correct" gloves"

    to

    "they are changing the 2nd wave of Gorns?"

    The birth of a rumor.

    There is no second release of Gorns - and if and when there is,
    they will have to pass the same or stricter safety tests.

    EMCE Toys has been US and EU compliant on PVC from the
    first set of figures.

    With all these comments about Gorn's "armwear", I wonder, maybe I should wait for the second edition release, with "correct" gloves?

    I like to keep my EMCEs sealed, so....

    I think I'll stick with My original plan, and Sculpt the Gloves on with Putty...and then paint them.
    I really think that's the best bet if you want a more accurate look.

    It's a kind of stretch vinyl. It's pretty cool stuff. He sent me a bit of it and I actually made the "gloves" out of it when I designed the prototype suit. They didn't come out that well. That material didn't respond well to being turned inside out for sewing. It works okay on the hulk type arms because it's bigger, but on the type 2 arms, I had to make the tube so small that the material stressed and started to separate when I turned it right side out.

    Dave...what type of Material did James use to make His? Making your own I think, is the way to go.
