Around 1990, I bought Kirk/Spock/Klingon (through Diamond) from that warehouse find.
I'd buy Scotty or McCoy if DST made them available.

If they expand, it would be nice if they could tweek Uhura's paint job to help her out this time around!
But imagine if this is not the only two figures they will be releasing??
This could be peoples first chance in many, many years to complete this line. Sulu, Checov, Chapel & soo many other names that could be added to the line that never got the chance first time around.
Yes yes, I know...it may just be Kirk & Spock...& that is still cool. A little bit of nostalgia is always welcome.

I too would love to see the entire line re-issued. The Alien Originals are just too pricey for me to get, but I'd get repos in a heatbeat!

But... Why do they reproduce the most easy to find and inexpencive Kirk and spock Mego figures? They should do McCoy and Scotty and especially the Romulan and the Andorian Mego. That way people who can afford original Kirk and spock figures could finally get that Romulan or Andorian they always wanted.
And yes, I'm aware that that would deminish the price of the originals. But who cares?

I agree but I doubt that it would bring the price down that much because they would still be rare and that's what costs you the money. You can get repo's now if you really want to, they are out there.

I'm eager to see the packaging for these.

Oh yes it will. Many will try to sell the repros as the originals. This will undermine trust. This will also make the originals seem less rare. This will also deminish the demand for originals, since you can then complete your collection with repros. Originals will still be rare, but the demand will be less. Therefor the prices of the originals will go down, though maybe not that much.

I don't think a MOC Romulan or any other MOC alien from the line will lose any value from any repros. Sure, there will be Ebay scammers, but there always have been and always will be scammers on Ebay. As someone else pointed out, Mego replacement parts have been around for years. If someone wanted to make a fake Romulan with fake packaging and all, they could have done it already. Packaged reproductions aren't changing anything and there are still many collectors who, even though a reissue is available, will still want to get the originals if they can afford them.
