    ERROR? Kirk head on Klingon body?!

    I found on eBay what would be a regular EMCE Klingon, but it has Kirk's head on it. Supposed to NOT be a custom and says it's sealed. I've bought from this guy before and he SEEMS legit, but has anyone else ever heard of this? It looks really cool and if it's genuine, I DEFINITELY want it! But wanted to ask around first.

    The Klingon collar covers Kirks extra long neck nicely

      Saw that too. It looks to be legit. Kirk and Klingon were released together. I had an Emce Spock once in an Andorian package.

        I've seen that too (Spock with Andorian card) - but this is a bit more than that. I mean, Kirk isn't wearing reg boots - so it's clearly a Kirk head on a non-booted body (i.e. Klingon). I'm sure a machine doesn't put on the clothes. Didn't this person notice that the head was different?! It just really grabs my attention - looks REALLY cool (kinda disturbing how nice Kirk looks in a Klingon uniform - lol. Almost like a Mirror universe figure,...)

          Definitely one of the cooler error variations. If you're gonna make a mistake you can't go wrong with The Shat as a Klingon. Being neither Kirk or Klingon are hard to find on nice cards and are relatively inexpensive by Mego standards I would expect this to be fairly desirable by Trek fans and should get a much better return than either would do correctly packaged.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

            it is not unusual to find them with 2 right arms, or 2 left, so why not the wrong head. either way it would be an interesting piece

              Kinda reminds me of the story where a mother went to buy a Ken doll for her child, only to find that he was wearing a dress!

                It's the 21st century, so why not?

                    i am not saying that this is a cheat,those clamshells open easy without cutting anything.i would be more
                    impressed if it was a sealed package like BBP figures,but then again i did buy a sulu with a checkov shirt
                    at retail,errors do happen .

                        Like I said, I've dealt with this guy before. I emailed and he assures me that it's factory sealed.

                          Nice error, but personally I wouldn't pay that kind of money for it.
                          But if you think it's cool, go for it!
