Do you want to see Star Trek Movie Megos?

[JediJaida]

I dunno. While some of the movies themselves were utter crap, I think that it would be cool to see some figures.

The only thing is, is there really a market for them outside of us Baby Boomers? Let's face it, we grew up with the show, saw the movies in their first run, and are serious collectors of the comics, novels and action figures.

But what about those people who aren't rabid fans? They'd leave the figures on the pegs, and there are more of them than there are of us.

So, that means that any company that makes them would take a big, fat loss.

Not really worth it, in my opinion.

However, with that being said, what's to keep us from doing our OWN customs? Nothing.

I'm sure that given all of the great talent here, we can come up with Khan, Saavik, WoK Kirk, etc.

Why should we depend upon someone else to do that for us? Especially when they'd probably do it on the cheap.

We, as customizers, even if we are on a budget, can afford to be more finicky when it comes to detail, materials, sculpts, etc.

The only movies I see doing well are 2 and 4. The rest would be hit or miss.

By that logic, who has been buying the EMCE versions of the TOS Re-Megos?

I'd say movie Treks would service the same consumer base of TOS, with the added base of kids like myself who best remember Trek as a movie series.

Although I'm kind of anticipating a TNG nostalgia boom over the next few years. It feels like the pop culture landscape is going that way.

I'll take any of them, as long as its from the films based on the original series. No interest in TNG, Voy, DS9,etc.

Heck, I would even buy uniform sets if they didnt want to make complete figures. As long as its Kirk and the gang (the real Kirk and crew) I'm in.

[samurainoir]

The movie characters are not as colorful as the TV series. Mego works best with colorful characters and I would not be so inclined to pick up the movie character, they just don't have the same charm.

But how can you say Khan and the new style movie Klingons aren't colourful characters?

Plus Kirk, Spock and McCoy are pretty timeless, no matter what uniforms they are wearing.

And once you get into TNG... we're talking Q, Borg, Ferengi, new style Romulans, Data, etc. Colourful enough to support the depth of product that Playmates put out in the nineties... Mego's output pales in comparison!

[DocDrako]

I do love the uniforms in WOK so it would be hard to pass them up. New head sculpts? Yes. Scotty on a fat body? Yes. New Khan? Yes. New "Megos" of any kind? YES!

[tllgn]

i would like to see all the movie figures done,from tmp to the new star trek,yes even star trek 5 ,so spocks weird half brother could be done

[boynightwing]

Can we have a set where Spock swims with a whale?

Can we have a set where Spock swims with a whale?

Totally not kidding and devoid of irony when I tell you that I would kill for a set like that in the same style as Aquaman and the Great White Shark.

Star Trek 4 is my favourite of the series, and Hare Krishna Spock is awesome. I'd even customize an obnoxious guy with a ghetto blaster just so Spock could do his thing on him. Best Use of Vulcan Neck Pinch Ever!

[trekgeek]

Well if my name doesn't tell you my answer is an emphatic yes! I would buy the whole cast even if they just reproduced the firs set with slight greying of the hair. Movie outfits would rock!
