uhura and Mugato figures from Diamond

[VintageMike]

I'm thrilled to see the line continue and the fact that even one new figure is being issued makes me hopeful of more in the future. I have no problem with reissuing all the old figures first since it's obvioulsy working. Just in a business sense you can't fault anyone for making money off the "sure thing" before taking a risk. I'm betting many of the reissues were bought by people who had the originals as a child and said "I remember these". Again in a business sense there has to a fear that some of those buys will be lost when new figures are issued and nostagia buys could be lost. The next logical step is combo packs with retro aliens and new crew members. Taking advantage of both nostalgia buys and the same time gradually getting those collector adjusted to new figures. Kind of the same way the current packs go for both the nostalgia buff (retro crew) and serious collector (ressues of aliens whose original figures may be out of reach due to price range). Keep 'em coming!

Ugh, I hate the original Mugatu figure. If there's one original figure I don't want, it's this one.

But I'm definitely going to buy it. I'm buying the whole line and I support the idea to reproduce them as exactly as possible. But it might not ever get opened...

that's exactly how I feel


Don't want a Mugato
Never wanted a Mugato

But I will be in my Comic Shoppe the day of release to buy one.

Except, that mine is coming out of the package.

A Mugato, that makes my day so much better. I truly can't wait!

I'm happy he is getting released before the Cheron which I always felt was kinda of bland looking figure.

That's very true... Virdon was never meant to be an alien...

And, I hate the half black/half white outfit, they should do a grey one like on the show... And give him hair!

I'm very pleased to see Mugato being made like the original figure, because I'd like to have one but I'm not about to pay the hundreds it'd cost to get an original of that funky lookin' guy, lol. Honestly, I've been very pleased with everything I've seen so far that's come out and to-be-released from EMCE. Way to go, Doc

I have been in the market to buy an original Mugato to complete my Star Trek aliens. This will make a great addition until I can find an original at a non dope smoking price. This is good news as far as I am concerned. Yay Diamond and EMCE for making it happen. Keep them coming! Retro or not here I come.

Just a thought - In order to solve the "chase figure" dilemma which is posted here at The Museum in another forum how about making screen accurate figures for the "chase figures" and or exclusives? One chase figure per 10 regular/new issued figures or something like that anyway. This would be a simple solution if there just has to be "chase figures" made. Now if we could only get Diamond to buy into our idea. I now know that this is pretty much out of Doc's hands and it is pretty much up to Diamond at this point since they hold the license to Star Trek anyway. "Some day" when EMCE becomes a fortune 500 company and buys up the licenses maybe we can have it our way.

Naturally I will be buying them since I never had them as a kid. Awesome! Mugato is so funky!
