So the Pike that everyone gnashed their teeth about is selling for TWICE what it retailed for?
I guess that means that, even with the imperfect size of the head, people still want it.

So Captain Pike retailed for $10.00?

But hey, I helped the cause...I bought one, threw the head away and made a Kirk Custom from "Where No Man Has Gone Before".

After seeing the Star Trek Select Spock prototype at SDCC it's my guess DST wil be focusing thier attention on the new ST Select line. I was hoping that DST would someday release the 7 inch Rand, Chapel and Salt Vampire that got cancelled and also the Retro Cloth Vina and Chapel. I don't know about you guys but I collect several of the Trek lines that have come out through the years and doubt I will take on another with the Select line.

No, I think Doc was referring to the UK seller that sells them at $45, which is about double the US retail price.

Yes, I figured he must be referring to some eBay seller and not Amazon where they are $19.99...I was just having fun with him. But that aside, I still plan to buy two more Pikes for my "WNMHGB" collection...one for Spock and one for the custom Gary Mitchell head I've been holding onto for a long time because I couldn't make the shirt.

As for the over-sized head, we purposely went larger anticipating shrinkage.
The problem was the factory was also thinking about shrinkage and assumed
we sent them the head at 100%.

This is a problem with dealing with a factory on the other side of the world and
that speaks another language AND it was the first retro cloth they made.
When we got to Universal Monsters, we got the signals straight.

Well, I for one am glad Pike was made, because big noggin or not...I'm gonna have Kirk, Spock and Gary Mitchell wearing that uniform.

I'm wondering if that's what happened to Bif Bang Pow and the BSG heads?
