Pike and the Salt Vampire look pretty good, but the ladies... yeesh.

Honestly, Pike is a Resin head, he will not look exactly like that. The uniform may even be a first attempt.
Salt monster is probably one of the Dr. Mego customs, as it has a full costume made.
Vina and Chapel are repaints of existing figures, the costumes are the only real thing shown.
When they first showed Sulu and Chekov, they were both so far removed from the existing figures, I did not want to get them. When they were actually released they were much better. I think if you want to see what they would really look like, check out the site and see the customs, that is what is going to be released. Sorry I forget the user that is making the figures happen. I am sure you will like the actual presentation when it arrives. Relax
I would state that I would rather see the protos of the 7" figures made, then these Mego like ones, any day!

But, then again I'm sorry I just never much of a Mego fan. I loved the 12" TMP figures they did. But I think Playmates 9" are far more better than Mego stuff. I mean look at that Kirk, excellent likeness. Especially Generations Kirk.

And yes, I collected the regular line, and no, I don't collect the Mego line. But I don't want to step on the toes of those who like and buy the Mego figures just because something I do collect isn't being made and something I don't collect is. Everyone has their day in the sun and they deserve the right to enjoy that day. Mego collectors are enjoying a resurgence in their favorite toy line. Let them enjoy it and wait for your own day to come and hope that when it does, other people aren't so quick to trample on your joy.

I have not been frustrated with the Kirk/Spock two packs and reissues that much because i am getting my Spock figures, but i do feel the drought of no other new characters being released and that does make me sad. I want the TRU Romulan,Romulan Commander,Rand and Chapel, Sick bay McCoy,Wraparound Kirk,Romulan Kirk/Fascinating Spock,WNMHGB Kirk and Spock, Salt Vampire,Kruge and Maltz, Borgs,Sisko and Dax in Season 1 uniform and Dukat. I want them! I WANT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would think so, because casual buyers that arent even Star Trek collectors would buy them just for nostalgia so it seems like there is a wider demographic there.

If you want to love that figure even more, I suggest upgrading the body to Zica.

That's interesting.
I don't think I would bother changing the bodies for the hell of it, but it's good to know I can get really nice replacement bodies if anything happens to my Retro's.
Thanks for all the info bgiles.

No problem. That's what I like so much about Mego-style figures. I've been checking out the forums at megomuseum.com and it's just amazing all the options out there for this type of figure. With DST adding Universal Monsters, Bif Bang Pow bringing Twilight Zone and Flash Gordon, Spectre Toys doing Dark Shadows, Zica bringing Buck Rogers, and finally Mattel adding DC super heroes there really is alot of options for customs. You guys need to become members of the megomuseum.com forums too!
