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.WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment

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.

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?Comment

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.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.Comment

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.In The " Real World " Vampires Do Not Sparkle. They Burn In the Sun !
