    Mego's today! Sheesh!

    Why can't they act like the originals were, perfect in everyway!

    What's the matter with Mego's to-day?!

    Do I think Rumsfeld is a war criminal? Yes.
    el oh el oh el oh el.... ^ for the win.

    I love the Khan... As I've said before, Mmmm. Genuine Corinthian Pleather.

    traditionally exclusives cost more and are deluxe versions of something, that being said, they should have paid you more for it, knowing time and money was an issue makes all the difference.
    I know this was commented on before, but I'm piping up to add that really, typically, exclusive items are items that were solicited for sale by the manufacturer but didn't get enough orders to make production profitable - so they become "exclusive" by way of a store offering a higher per unit price to call a smaller production (when you call it limited it's a selling feature) run their own. That way the toy company cuts the loss they would have had on early prototyping, sculpting and production costs already expended, and the store has a reason to get you in the door. Or, you get something which is a mold re-hash or part swap designed to allow an exclusive (cha-ching) when the toy company didn't have anything else at the ready.

    I really dig the figure. The only thing I WISH could have been different is that I would love to have seen the transparent plastic rain-suit go! But hey, I imagine Doc feels the same way. It really is no big deal to me though.

    Kahn is one of the best head sculpts, I cannot say enough about EMCE and their efforts. I hope we see more of this quality in the future.

    Well said, sir.

    He fits right in!!

    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.
    Right on Dave!!

    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.

    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!
