Because I knew James Brady was Sculpting the NEW one...and had faith that it would come out great. I tusted that between James...and Doc Mego...that they would get it right, and not let Me down. I now know I was mistaken.
On the bright side...I still know where to buy the Brady Gorn Kit...so I'll be making a new one. It looks like I'll be able to use parts of the EMCE one(nice soft Rotocast Head, Tunic, maybe the lower Legs?)for the new Custom.sigpicComment

Looks great! This might just get me to buy the EmCe Star Trek figures. Might have to get one for my brother as we are Gorn brothers.
Seeing the Gorn and Khan gives me great expectations for EmCe's Planet of the Apes line.ScottComment

Anyways---the reason it struck me odd is because collecting customs
is the core of my toiy collecting and my curiosity couldn't be any more
piqued than seeing somebody have a custom figure they love and then
getting rid of it....
I guess what you said as to "why" makes sense IF you were interested
in turning a profit, but that would work only IF the new figure was to your
liking----that's a few too many "IF"s for me personally to take any such
gamble---
Regardless---my empathy is with you and I wish you luck at recreating your old figure.
And I wouldn't be surprised if you snatched up this new "other" GORN too----
(for more than spare parts) as it looks pretty dang cool.
Personally, I think the new GORN looks cool, yes, but I'm more interested in
getting a SULU and a CHEKOV---they've been a long time coming.Last edited by huedell; May 10, '08, 9:43 AM."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'.

If it's the upper body that really bothers you, try contacing Troy Younger or Fred "Blackend Kryptonite," about larger upper arms. They both have upper arms available that have a tricep and more rounded shoulders. If it's the rest of the figure you don't like...you may just want to start from scratch with the old Gorn kit.
As for myself, I think it looks alot like what Mego would have done if it weren't for all those ape bodies and Klingon suits laying around I did not for one second think that we would be getting a Hulk bodied Gorn from EMCE. That would be akin to expecting series accurate suits for Kor and Kang when they already have Klingon suits available.
I still want to to customize the Hulk/Gorn, but in all likelihood I will be picking one of these up.Last edited by kept back; May 10, '08, 10:16 AM.Of all the souls I have encountered his was the most...human.Comment

I like it.
Didn't think I would as I love the Mego version so much.
But I think i'll buy this figure.

Maybe...but some LJN type Arms would have worked better...and it shouldn't have cost all that much more to produce?
PS: anybody got a nude Hulk, with matching colored Arms & Torso(some don't) for sale at decent price?Last edited by The Bat; May 10, '08, 12:51 PM.sigpicComment

I agree with mikeoz. The hulk body I think is too big for gorn. I think it looks really great and I'll get one for sure.Comment

I like the look of the Gorn. Nice compromise, I would say.
Let's look at it this way... at least it's not a brown Lizard that attacked and left a Klingon naked and alone. Naked Klingons are not cool.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like the new version. Actually I'd get both if they came out just because I'm a Gorn guy.
Anyone know if the New gorn comes with anything? Stone knife, that mike thing, a disrupter ?Lo there do I see my Father.
Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
Lo they do call me.
They bid me take my place among them.
