No... it's the right toy style. If you read my entire post I am referring to 8 inch and 7 inch ST figures by DST. I collect both and purposely posted that link to 7 inch figures because someone requested it in a previous post.Comment

I picked up my EMCE Captain Kirk from the shelf today and his shiny Starfleet emblem fell right off his shirt! I now worry that this will happen to all my EMCE Trek figures, and they're only, what, five years old? Does anyone know the best way to reattach it? Is there a type of glue that is best for adhering the emblem back to the fabric? (I'm not sure if Krazy Glue is a good option.)Comment

Yeah, my replacement Pike figure (the first one's packaging turned brown) seems to have his emblem hanging by a thread...

Krazy glue is NOT a good option - it can soak into the shirt fabric and stain it.
SewJude from the old Mego listserve was a fabric and textiles expert (like she had a degree in it) and she used to always recommend applying a bit of white glue to the back of an emblem and then letting it dry until tacky, then replacing it on the costume. White glue like Elmer's is water-bases, so even if it leaves a blob, she said, you can soak the fabric in water and eventually work the glue back out. That's show I've been reattachin emblems for years.Comment

^ Yes, I was going to suggest Elmer's Glue-All. Or Aileen's, thinned with a little water, is basically very similar.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Thanks for the advice, all! Yeah, I'm definitely more comfortable with a glue like Elmer's than Krazy Glue. I just wasn't sure if it would have much staying power. Glad to hear it works well.Comment

A thin layer of super glue gel would work well, and it doesn't seep into the fabric like the liquid kind. A very thin layer...Comment
