        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.

          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!

            Sure beats the pants off that "Other" mego- styled Khan I tell you what.
            Lo there do I see my Father.
            Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
            Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
            Lo they do call me.
            They bid me take my place among them.
            In the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.

                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?

                      You also have to look at it this way, if you're unhappy with all the details, for $20 you got a perfect sculpt done rotocast so you can customize your own. That's the one cool thing we sometimes forget. People pay $25-$30 for me to send then just a hand painted resin custom head. Here, you get those awesome new rotocasts for much less. Hell, I would have paid $20 just for the head.

                          The Kahn figure is excellent, a great likeness and good quality craftmanship. Honestly, some of the orignal Mego figures aren't as well done as Kahn. A Great job by EMCE!

                            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.
                            I own three of these and for anyone who knows me, that should be enough said.

                                I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS ! I absolutely love this figure , I feel he is well done and fits the re-mego mold perfectly. I only hope that when / if Paul gets to make more Trek , classic , movie or whatever they will be as well sculpted as this one.
