      Didn't Mugato have a normal body? Just new feet I think.

          I believe there is a very good chance, based on this post:

          I can now say that Jay and I will be making a Captn Eli figure
          in 2010 in the correct scale for the character.

            I think Doc would be crazy not to eventually offer a TT/Lion Rock-scale body.

            And Talos is just the way to do that and defray development costs.

            I do hope that we will see Neptunian, Talos, & other J. Brady Treks, even though the Talos body & the Neptunian gloves/boots require new tooling.

              Why wouldn't they make Talos? They could use that same body in future releases for other figures too

                    Lets not forget the new Gorn,..old body, but new legs and head, not a recast....so theres still hope for Talos,...but with correct outfit and a Neptunian (they have bodies in green used for Gorn...)

                      I've always thought that the Talosian should be the standard 8"Mego scale...with TV series correct silver Gown.

                        I agree. I kit-bashed one using the 9" Playmates figure that I really like:
