Khan Update

[mars396]

I received my Khan yesterday.

The colour of the head matches the body perfectly, and is the exact tone.
The prototype on the back of the card looks like total crap compared to the finished product.
Excellent work, Doc !

[The Bat]

Got My two Khans Today...thank You Paul!! These Figures are absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Just beautiful...I have no critques, they're just PERFECT!!

I would check with Planet X first to make sure they want the snap moved, but
my guy in China doesn't care where the snap is.

[huedell]

I think my guy in China got confused with the Wrath of Khan open chest look and
told his workers to put the snap at mid-torso.

So it was an actual error?

Will you be changing the snap's location in the future runs?

[Captain]

I think Khan looks great as is. Even the open collared jumpsuit fits the character, if not being 100% show accurate.

Actually, Space Seed specifically identified Khan Noonian Singh as a Sikh (Maybe he took the title 'khan' for himself?). But I'm pretty sure his being a 'genetically-engineered superman' overrides the significance of any particular physical traits. Whatever, the fig looks good.

[The Sentry]

What a beautiful figure and he loooks great! Indeed great work to all involved, and to Doc himself for making it happen! *tips hat to the Doc*

I'm definitely not knocking the figure Paul. He's super cool. I just think he kinda looks Cherokee but ST never really said what ethnicity he was. Great figure Paul. Can't wait for the rest.

My Khans are arriving tomorrow, so orders will go out by Friday.

[drmego]

Khan is not supposed to be a caucasian (white guy) the actor is hispanic and they
darkened his skin for the role because Khan is partly mongolian - hence the name.
Mongolians are darker than other asians.

Got mine today and like him a lot but his face is really read. Maybe it's just me.

It's not just you I also noticed it on mine also it may just be me but the head does look a little small. But I'm still really happy that we have a new Star Trek "Mego" to go with our collections

I got my Khan yesterday from Planet X. A nice job! Kudos to all involved!

[Hamonrye]

Received mine today. If nobody told me this was a new item I'd swear it was vintage-- that's how true-to-Mego it is.

The head is fantastic, if a touch small compared to the classic Trek figures (casting/molding issue?). I could nitpick about the catchlights in the eyes (he possesses a not-inappropriate glassy stare), but the gold paint detail on the hair-fastener is an unexpected bonus, very cleanly applied. Good call to use the Trek-boot leg.



So has anyone experimented with repositioning the front closure? It looks like it could be moved up a good half-inch without compromising the tailoring.
