I also LOVE Khan!! To have a China made, Rotocast Mego Khan is a dream come true! I mean really...who could have thought this would EVER happen?? Mego went under in 1982!!!!

I'm happy with my Khan too, although it's human nature to talk about
elements you didn't like.
I know the prototype suit I sent to China had the snap at the windpipe,
not at the abs. Somebody at my factory has Ricardo issues to work out.
As for the price, Khan was supposed to retail at $18.00, but as soon as
they arrived, everyone but Hastings and PlanetX wanted more money in
order to make a profit. I bought several cases from PlanetX and still
paid $15 for each one.
In making these new figures, I walk the line between more detailing and
MEGO simplicity. Did Cap.Am. or Aquaman have scales on the shirts?
Should the Thing been all molded plastic instead of silkscreened PJs?Leave a comment:

I'm happy with Khan...in fact, I'd go so far as to say it is the best Mego-style Khan I've ever owned!

I'm not crazy about his oven mitts... oh wait, that was Mego. Well, couldn't they have put a white section on his arms like the real Captain Ameri... oh, that was Mego, too. Well, how about that silly Gorn, I mean he's wearing a Kilngon uni...
You know, I REALLY like my Khan.Leave a comment:

Complaining about cheese factor on a Mego replica makes no sense to me, it's not a medicom hyper hero and never intended to be. I wouldn't change a thing about my Khan.
Exclusive does not entail "Deluxe" in any way, it's an incentive piece that someone gets the priveledge of buying the entire inventory. Yeah some guys do kick in some extra points on the price tag because they can but also because it's a huge risk.
At least it's an entirely new character, not like the hoarde of useless repaints that companies threw at us during the 1990s and still do.Leave a comment:

I WAS happy with Khan. Then he came over for a dinner party. Wouldnt use a coaster, and kept belching and scratching himself all throughout dinner without at least excusing himself. Once he started singing Al Jolson songs using his armpit sounds as musical accompaniement...well that was the last straw. The battle was epic, but I finally managed to drop him with a combination of flying drop kicks and repeatedly hitting him over the head with a fire extinguisher.
That dirty rotten superior so and so will never disgrace my home again!
The toy is cool though!Leave a comment:

I'd say that of all the various "Mego-ish" figures of recent times the Khan looks the most like a Mego to me, and the lack of detail and accuracy adds to that.Leave a comment:

Ohh, I'm fully capable of doing so, but I refuse to fix something I paid that much money for. A cheap-o CTVT body I expect this sort of thing, but not on one of these. I would have returned it, but mail order returns are a pain in the hinder.Leave a comment:
