EMCE Toys Trek Figures Review with pics!

[drmego]

Glad you like them

Glad to hear that you like the first two figures.

I heard from Ken Abrams that Diamond was sold out of them on the first day of Comic-Con in San Diego. I don't know how many they
brought, but it sounds like a good omen to me.

Kirk and the Klingon came out a little darker than I had wanted -
due to a last minute issue with EU compliant materials. I have
received samples of Spock and the Andorian (now being soliciated
by Diamond to retailers - order yours now) and the heads are
much better.

Once I send a set to Diamond and get their okay, I will post pics.

I forgot to ask before, does any know how the tricorder straps are going to be on these? They always broke on my originals. That's one thing on these I'd like not to be like the vintage ones.

Awesome review Albert. Looks like I need to put in an order for an alien or three.

Hey Steve!

In the pictures, the repro Klingon is on the Right.

Repro Kirk is on the Left.

Great review, Albert. Looks like Doc hit a homer with this one. I think I like the Kirk paint job on the new one better than the original. Maybe it's just a painting anomoly, but your original seems to have a worried expression.

Potentially scary question: In the comparison pics, which Klingon is the original? The one on the left?

I'm not really into Trek, but I'm so tempted by the upcoming aliens.

The heads are the same size, I just double-checked. It is the way the shirt is sewn - on the old figures the collar rides up differently and makes the neck appear to be shorter.

Thanks for all the info! Very interesting! I'm eager to receive my set!

Is there no mention/ credit on the backside for Dr Mego?

If I'm not mistaken Doc Mego is part owner of EMCE, so in a way he is mentioned on the back

[Werewolf]

That's a good point. It may very well be the collar giving the illusion of a slightly longer neck in the photo.

[QUOTE=Werewolf;24896] ..The neck also looks a tad longer to me.

Is Kirk's neck longer on these new figs??
I dunno, maybe it's just me, but it looks as if his black collar doesn't ride up as high, giving the illusion his neck is longer.
Gotta see shirtless comparison shots I reckon.

I can't believe how spot-on Klingon is. Awesome.

From the pics, I’m also very impressed with the Klingon. Everything looks spot on. Right down to the fake leather on his shirt. I'm amazed they were able to get the fabric so close.

I agree Kirk looks a tiny bit off. Like you mentioned the space between the command bands and the shirt is definitely much more yellow than gold. The neck also looks a tad longer to me.

Still, absolutely fantastic! Just not as dead on vintage perfect as the Klingon.

Thanks for the pics and reviews. I can’t wait until I get my set.

Y'know I wasn't sure if I was going to get this first set, but after seeing your review, I just might, (at least for my friend). Thanks!

[joshvox]

wow--thanks for the review. Of course, the originals are better, but I cannot wait for the romulan and andorian.
