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.

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.Leave a comment:

Man, that looks great. I can live with the type two body. Its more like what mego would have done for a more accurate Gorn, instead of the fake Lizard poser they made.Leave a comment:

Hopefully we will get to see more pix soon. I'd like to see the legs more closely. I really didn't expect a Hulk body, although it would have been cool. The sculpt definitely goes a long way towards correcting a Mego mistake. Hopefully the Chinese can find a better uniform material for the production run. Great pattern, but I'd love to see more shine and pattern in the outfit.
Bravo to James and Doc (and anyone else who contributed) on making this figure the right way instead of the easy way.
Combine this with Sulu, and you have definitely made this the most anticipated release for me, even more than the Rommie. Two "new" figures at once is great. I can only hope you keep them coming in 2009. Mirror Mirror, anyone?
FYI - I'm claiming first dibs on making a Lizard custom with this figure, just to make the circle complete.Leave a comment:

You already had a GORN in your possession that you really liked...
why would you get rid of it?Leave a comment:

I really have to agree. It's a lot to expect an entirely new body mold for one figure. Unless you actually have the Hulk license it's hard to justify. That head is fantastic, the figure will look great with the set.Leave a comment:

Looks fine to me. A nice compromise between Captain Dunsels figure and the realities of EMCE/Diamonds need to keep these figures profitable. A completely new body mold for one character would probably drive the cost of the Gorn through the roof, or require Diamond to move a lot more product. I can live with this Gorn quite nicely. Make a fine squad of troops to be commanded by my Dunsel Gorn.Leave a comment:

Well I have to say he looks better but I still like the custom off hulk body.....Eyes need to be silver, did they not see the show?Leave a comment:

Oh No!!He's skinny!!!!!!!!
The Head looks FANTASTIC....but He's on a T2 Body!???? Why!!!! I really didn't think, I'd regret selling My Custom Gorn...but now!
And why are His Eyes yellow...and not silver?? Oh Man...this is such a dissapointment.
Please David Lee...tell Me Your going to make a green Body, so I can switch the Arms!Leave a comment:

Glad to finally see it...As much as I love the Gorn I got from James...I guess I was being naive and got anxious with high expectations...I expected to see some sort of new Hulk-body hybrid instead of a skinny T2 green body.
As I look at the pic more, his calves look bigger than a T2 leg. Are the lower legs closer to what James conjured up?Leave a comment:
