EMCE Talos/Talosian

[Nefud]

I realize I'm not exactly beating the alive-est of horses here, but I was curious if there's been any new news about a Mego Talosian (or Talos, if you like). I'm loving that we're getting a Pike and Vina, but it also just makes me all the more anxious to own a Talosian for Pike to strangle.

I couldn't wait. See if Pike can get his hands around this melon?



I actually think he would look better in the Keeper robe. I'll do one someday when I stumble across an extra one.

[bobws]

I'd buy one or two.

[Brown Bear]

I'd rather see them re-release the old egg-head than make a cooler one.

It would be cool to get more screen accurate Talosians, although I'm a bit more excited at the idea of focus shifting over to TNG. Would also love Movie figures with new sculpts... Bypassing the first movie initially in favor of Wrath of Khan.

What's TNG?

The Next Generation.

I think keeping the original Talos head would be the right move, but a more accurate costume would be fine with me. It would be interesting for EMCE to do what some other toy companies do, and have one version as the standard and the other as the "variant", but both issued in the same wave.

Reminds me of the early episodes of Lost in Space when Will was captured by these big headed aliens. But they didn't have mouths. They were pretty creepy looking.

Actually the Kanamit robe from the TZ figure and the King Arthur medallion with my head would pretty much nail the guy on the left of the group shot. Anyone scrapped a Kanamit figure? I need a robe.

Pike and Vian

Last time I heard, there was not enough retail interest to produce a Vina or Nurse Chapel. With the toy line moving to the Next Generation, will diamond make any more original series figures?

This weekend I bought a Kanamit figure for just this purpose.

I really hope this isn't true. I'm just one guy, but I'm not planning on buying an TNG figured. I'm guessing that the Venn Diagram of nerd interests has a lot more overlap between TOS and Mego than TNG and Mego. But I guess only sales figures will tell the tale.

Where did you hear this? I was really looking forward to those two. As was James T.

Dr Mego posted the part about Vina and Nurse Chapel. I was really looking forward to these two figures, but I don't think they are being produced.

Well that's a darn shame. Guess the line ends with Pike and Salty, huh?

I wonder if the earlier waves were overproduced... especially Spock and Bones. I know Kirk/Klingon were difficult to get for a while, but it seems Spock and Bones were never in short supply. I know I saw several pegs of them at the FAO Schwarz in Vegas two or three years ago, and was amazed at the number... probably no less than 15 of each.

I will miss this line a lot. It's been so much fun to collect.
