These are the blogs that I get jiggy with-

A piece of the action blog's fan box.

Mugato (Item No. 51204/4), a “Creature of the Week” from the Classic “Star Trek” episode “A Private Little War.” The Mugato, a beast indigenous to the planet Neural, is a savage and carnivorous simian, with white fur, a large cranial horn, and poisonous fangs. It is a senseless, barbaric ape, cultureless and without motivation beyond basic instinct.

So, naturally, Mego outfitted their Mugato figure in a belted dashiki and red slacks..

No, Seriously.

In a marketing decision that may have been influenced by the success of the Planet of the Apes line, Mego clothed their Mugato figure. And not just in any clothes–bright, day-glow double-knit polyester duds. This choice is not only just plain chromatically insulting, but culturally anachronistic as well. The Neuralians are barely above the hunter-gatherer stage, still adorning themselves with animal hides. Taking this into consideration, I refuse to believe that the Mugato–beast-like and primitive–roams the hills of Neural in one of Huggy Bear’s rejects.

The Mugato figure’s head is actually a pretty passable sculpt. However, it looks as if the sculptor never saw any pictures of the creature itself, and instead modeled his work on a basic description of the Mugato. Paramount did not provide Mego with much by the way of a styleguide, merely photographs and episode reels, Mego may have had to improvise the rest. I know that if somebody called me on the phone and said, “I need the head of a white-furred ape with a horn,” this is probably what I would have come up with, too. The face is incorrectly-painted in a bright orange, so, naturally, the choice of body was an extension of this feature. The body was cast in a unique, bright-orange color, and was given orange Ape hands and a pair of unique, oversized gorilla feet. The investment of time and money spent on these feet–at the expense of the rest of the figure–boggles the mind. Perhaps Mego decided to start at the bottom and work their way up, and, only after the feet were completed, realized that they had already blown their whole Mugato R&D budget.

It is worth noting that the Mugato figure–especially loose–is veritably plagued with design flaws and wear issues. Here is the laundry-list of things that can potentially, and often do, go wrong with the Mugato:

*The horn almost always has at least one rub near the tip (Green Goblin owners can relate…).

*The knee pins are excessively weak, and it is not unusual to find Mugatos–even MOC–with broken legs.

*The heat-sealed “V” on the shirt often splits at the middle.

*The green shirt suffers from the same green-to-yellow fade common to Green Arrow’s bodysuit and the sleeves and undies of Removable-Mask Robin.

*The black belt, more often than not, leaves a black stain on the tunic after prolonged contact. (This issue is almost unavoidable in all Mugatos. Most Mego collectors have accepted this unfortunate defect, and have amended their collecting standards from “Does it have a stain or not?” to “How bad is the stain?”)

Despite these many flaws and inaccuracies, the Mugato has a goofy charm to it and no collection is complete without him.

Above is not a common site, the carded Mugato which only came on this version of card.

All photos and Info are courtesy of Kevin (Mirror Spock)

Mugato’s belt is unique to the character and has been factory reproduced by both Doctor Mego / EMCE Toys and Classic TV Toys, however, neither reproduction features the sticker on the original’s belt buckle. The original belt has a white square sticker that has a vertical gradiated blue line in the center. The Doc Mego / EMCE reproduction belt has a slightly duller texture than the original and is marked DM on the backside. The CTVT has a sharper texture than the original and is marked CTV in the inside.

Mugato’s shirt has been factory reproduced by EMCE Toys. The reproduction is a near perfect color match to the original, but is made with a more modern slicker material. The big difference is the V design on the chest. The original is a vinyl heat sealed style, while the reproduction is printed right on the material, making the black area more black. The reproduction is also missing the yellow border that surrounds the V shape. Another dead giveaway is the missing black stain which occurs with most original Mugato shirts due to the black belt. The reproduction is unmarked.

Mugato’s have been reproduced by EMCE Toys. Like the shirt, the repro pants area near perfect color match. The only real giveaway is the more modern slicker material they are made from. They also fit a bit looser. The reproduction is unmarked.

While not really an accessory, Mugato’s feet are unique to the character. And though it’s part of the body, it should still be noted that they have been factory reproduced by EMCE Toys. The reproduction feet are identical from a molding perspective. There are only 2 differences. The reproduction is a lighter orange (as is the entire repro Mugato body) than an original Mugato, and the joints pin hole is larger on the reproduction. The repro is unmarked.

Mugato’s head as been factory reproduced by EMCE Toys. The reproduction is a little larger from tip of nose to back of head, but otherwise pretty accurate in size. The details on the reproduction are a little more dull, most noticably in the hair, which is also not as bright white as an original. The face, ears and horn on the EMCE version are also darker, with a little more brown in the orange color mix. The repro is marked with the 2008 CBS copyright on the back of the neck.

Kirk Accessories: Cloth Shirt w/ Emblem, Pants, Belt, Phaser, Communicator Years Released: 1974 – 1977 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: Captain Kirk is a true pop culture icon, famously portrayed by William Shatner in the television show and movies. The action figure of Kirk is a staple that every Mego collector in the world should most definitely own. The head sculpt for the figure is pretty spot-on, as it actually resembles Shatner. Like the other crew members, Kirk’s boots are painted on and not removable. The original issue of Kirk has a card with the original five character portraits on it, and white logo lettering. When Uhura was added to Series 1 in early 1975, the card was changed to match, with the Uhura portrait being added and the Star Trek logo lettering changing to blue.

Dr. McCoy (Bones)

Market Value: Carded $135 – $200 Loose $30 – $45

Dr. McCoy (Bones) Accessories: Cloth Shirt w/ Emblem, Pants, Belt, Phaser, Communicator, Tricorder Years Released: 1974 – 1977 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: Dr. McCoy or Bones was famously portrayed by DeForest Kelley in the television show and movies. The head sculpt for the figure is pretty spot-on, as it really captures the likeness of Kelley. Like the other crew members, Dr. McCoy’s boots are painted and not removable. The original issue of McCoy has a card with the original five character portraits on it, and white logo lettering. When Uhura was added to Series 1 in early 1975, the card was changed to match, with the Uhura portrait being added and the Star Trek logo lettering changing to blue.

Market Value: Carded $60 – $100 Loose $20 – $35

Klingon Accessories: Cloth Tunic, Pants, Boots, Belt, Phaser, Communicator Years Released: 1974 – 1977 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: The Klingon figure was actually based off the Captain Koloth character from the classic television show. The Klingons, of course, changed their entire appearance for the future movies and beyond. The head sculpt for the figure is quite nice with the outfit also being fairly accurate. Unlike the Enterprise crew members, The Klingon has actual boots instead of being painted on. The original issue of Klingon has the card with the original five character portraits on it, and white logo lettering. When Uhura was added to Series 1 in early 1975, the card was changed to match, with the Uhura portrait being added and the Star Trek logo lettering changing to blue.

Market Value: Carded $100 – $150 Loose $30 – $45

Lt. Uhura Accessories: Cloth Dress w/ Emblem, Tights, Boots, Tricorder Years Released: 1975 – 1976 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: Lt. Uhura was famously portrayed by Nichelle Nichols in the television show and movies. The head sculpt for the figure is not bad, but nowhere the accuracy of the others. Unlike the crew members, Lt. Uhura has removable boots instead of being painted on. Female characters were not very in demand from the target audience for these figures, so kudos to Mego for even producing Uhura at all. Uhura was not available with the initial release of the first five figures but was added late to the series in late 1974, thus she was never available on the five character portraits card with the white logo lettering.

Mr. Scott (Scottie)

Market Value: Carded $175 – $250 Loose $40 – $60

Mr. Scott (Scottie) Accessories: Cloth Shirt w/ Emblem, Pants, Belt, Phaser, Communicator Years Released: 1974 – 1977 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: Mr. Scott or Scottie was famously portrayed by James Doohan in the television show and movies. The head sculpt for the figure is pretty good, but it is definitely more like the animated Scottie than the live action show. Like the other crew members, Mr. Scott’s boots are painted on and not removable. The original issue of Mr. Scott has the card with the original five character portraits on it, and white logo lettering. When Uhura was added to Series 1 in early 1975, the card was changed to match, with the Uhura portrait being added and the Star Trek logo lettering changing to blue.

Market Value: Carded $100 – $150 Loose $20 – $35

Mr. Spock Accessories: Cloth Shirt w/ Emblem, Pants, Belt, Phaser, Communicator, Tricorder Years Released: 1974 – 1977 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: Mr. Spock is a true pop culture icon, famously portrayed by Leonard Nimoy in the television show and movies. The action figure of Spock is a staple that every Mego collector in the world should most definitely own. The head sculpt for the figure is pretty spot-on, as it really resembles Nimoy. Like the other crew members, Spock’s boots are painted on and not removable. The original issue of Spock has the card with the original five character portraits on it, and white logo lettering. When Uhura was added to Series 1 in early 1975, the card was changed to match, with the Uhura portrait being added and the Star Trek logo lettering changing to blue.

Star Trek (1975 ): Series 2 Basic Aliens Figures

After massive success with the first series of Star Trek figure, a 2nd series was released the following year in 1975, that contained four more new figures. All figures were Aliens from the classic television show .

Market Value: Carded $200 – $275 Loose $70 – $95

Cheron Accessories: Cloth Jumpsuit, Black Boot, White Boot Years Released: 1975 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: Of the four figures in this series, Cheron is the most true to the actual character from the television show. The Cheron figure is based on the character portrayed by Frank Gorshin on the show. The split colors actually make for a pretty cool look for the figure. It should be noted that the white half of the suit has a tendency to look awful on loose figures due to a natural staining.

Market Value: Carded $225 – $300 Loose $75 – $100

Gorn (The) Accessories: Cloth Tunic, Pants, Boots, Belt, Phaser, Communicator Years Released: 1975 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: The Gorn was a case where Mego seriously dropped the ball. He was one of the most iconic Aliens from the Star Trek television show, but Mego used a re-painted head from the Lizard figure and the same outfit as the Klingon, complete with weapons belt, phaser and communicator. This figure does not resemble the classic character from the show at all, not even in the least bit, which was a rare miss for Mego.

Keeper (The)

Market Value: Carded $185 – $235 Loose $65 – $90

Keeper (The) Accessories: Cloth Robe Years Released: 1975 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: The Keeper is another weird choice for Mego because the figure is kind of a combo of two different characters. The actual Keeper name was used as a title for the Talosian character in the Pilot episode, the Cage, but the appearance is modeled after a character that appeared on the screen from the Corbomite Maneuver episode. This figure literally came with one accessory, his robe.

Market Value: Carded $300 – $400 Loose $85 – $115

Neptunian Accessories: Cloth Jumpsuit, Webbed Boots, Webbed Gloves Years Released: 1975 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: Neptunian is a bit of an anomaly because the character never actually appeared in either the classic or animated Star Trek shows, but it is a beautiful figure. The boots and gloves are solely unique to this figure and had never been used before. Also the head sculpt is really well done for an original figure.

Star Trek (1976): Series 3 Basic Aliens Figures

After great success with the first wave of Alien action figures released in 1975, Mego decided to released a 2nd wave of Aliens for their Series 3 of the Star Trek line. These figures were all based on characters from the classic television show .

Market Value: Carded $1,000 – $1,500 Loose $200 – $300

Andorian Accessories: Cloth Bodysuit, Vest, Belt, Boots, Gloves Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: This is somewhat rare and does not come up for sale very often Notes: Like the Romulan, the Andorian figure really captures the actual character from the show with a truly beautiful head sculpt, probably among the nicest that Mego had done for this line. The Andorian comes with a Super Knights like bodysuit and a brown vest with belt to complete the outfit. Like the other figures in this series, it is a very rare piece and considered bit of Holy Grail item for Star Trek Mego collectors.

Market Value: Carded $500 – $750 Loose $150 – $250

Mugato Accessories: Cloth Shirt, Pants, Belt Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: Tough to find on the secondary market Notes: The Mugato was actually a creature featured in one of the classic Star Trek television episodes, but he was a beast from the wilds, and certainly not wearing any kind of clothes. The head sculpt actually does resemble the creature itself. There is a color variation to Mugato’s shirt with it being either a darker or light green. Like the other figures in this series, it is a very rare piece and hard to find.

Market Value: Carded $1.200 – $1,700 Loose $400 – $500

Romulan Accessories: Cloth Bodysuit, Boots, Helmet, Belt, Phaser, Communicator Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: This is somewhat rare and does not come up for sale very often Notes: The Romulan figure is largely considered among the holy grail items from Mego’s Star Trek line. The figure is based off the Romulan Commander character in the show portrayed by Mark Lenard with a really great head sculpt. This is a very attractive figure with a unique Super Knights looking bodysuit but what really stands out is that beautiful helmet! Like the other figures in this series, it is a very rare piece and hard to find.

Market Value: Carded $500 – $750 Loose $175 – $225

Talos Accessories: Cloth Jumpsuit, Belt, Boots Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: Tough to find on the secondary market Notes: Here is the other part of the Keeper figure, because this character should’ve actually been named the Keeper because that is what he was called in the episode. Instead Mego elected to call him Talos due to the planet he was from, but technically, it should’ve been Talosian. Still, the head sculpt is quite nice and this is a very rare figure for Star Trek and Mego collectors.

Star Trek (1974-1977): Accessories

There were several accessories released by Mego for their Star Trek line, but none were specifically made for the action figure series. Mego took advantage of their Star Trek toy license by producing several different types of products for their line .

Communicators

Market Value: Boxed $175 – $250 Loose $40 – $65

Communicators Accessories: Walkie Talkies x 2 w/ Flip Cover and Antenna Years Released: 1974 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: The Communicators set was the first accessory released by Mego for their Star Trek line in 1974. They were actual working walkie talkies that ran off 9V batteries. These were really great looking pieces and Mego did an excellent job of making them look like actual Communicators.

Command Communications Console

Market Value: Boxed $200 – $300 Loose $50 – $100

Command Communications Console Accessories: Communication Console w/ Light up Screen Years Released: 1977 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: The Command Communications Console actually worked in conjunction with the Communicators and would act as sort of a base station for communicating with them. Once again, Mego did a really great job of making the console look as if it belongs in the Star Trek universe.

Super Phaser II Target Game

Market Value: Boxed $60 – $85 Loose $20 – $35

Super Phaser II Target Game Accessories: Phaser, Target w/ Reflector Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: The Super Phaser II Target Game was basically Laser Tag before Laser Tag was Laser Tag. The premise was simple enough. It required you to set up the target, which was a portrait of a Klingon ship with a red reflector on it. Then, you would shoot the phaser at the reflector to register hits. It was a simple but fun game.

Telescreen Console

Market Value: Boxed $425 – $500 Loose $150 – $225

Telescreen Console Accessories: Game Screen and Console, Figure Chair Years Released: 1977 Scarcity Factor: Tough to find on the secondary market Notes: The Telescreen Console was essentially a 1970’s style shooter game that was so primitive, it didn’t even keep score. The really cool thing about this set was it acted as part game and part playset due to the Console resembling a Enterprise Bridge computer with one of the chairs attached to it.

Market Value: Boxed $250 – $350 Loose $90 – $120

Tricorder Accessories: Tape Recorder w/ Flip Feature, Strap Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: Tough to find on the secondary market Notes: Since Mego had already released the Communicators, it only made sense that a Tricorder would be made. This was an actual tape player/recorder that was made to look like a Tricorder, complete with flip-out screen and all. Overall, this was a pretty cool thing to have strapped around your chest, just like the crew of the Enterprise.

Market Value: Boxed $500 – $700 Loose $200 – $250

Trekulator Accessories: Calculator Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: Tough to find on the secondary market Notes: Who wouldn’t want a Star Trek Calculator back in 1976? I never knew about this back in the day, but if I had, I would’ve been bugging my mom to get me one. The calculator was designed to look like a science officer type computer that Spock might use on the show. It’s actually a tough item to find in boxed condition.

Star Trek (1974-1977): Playsets

Mego released two large scale playsets for their 8″ Star Trek line, with the U.S.S. Enterprise and Mission to Gamma VI playsets. A gift set version of the U.S.S. Enterprise was also released, along with a UK released Transporter Room accessory .

U.S.S . Enterprise Action Playset

Market Value: Boxed $200 – $300 Loose $50 – $75

U.S.S . Enterprise Action Playset Accessories: Plastic Fold-Out Playset, Captain’s Chair, Navigational Console, Stools x 2, Spinning Transporter Years Released: 1974, 1975, 1976 Scarcity Factor: Can still be found but it’s getting tougher each year Notes: The U.S.S Enterprise Action playset was the first released for the Star Trek line in 1974, and would go on to become one of most iconic large scale playsets that Mego ever created for their 8 Inch figures. The playset itself was not incredibly accurate to the actual bridge from the Enterprise, but it definitely captured the spirit of it, and it was just plain fun. It included a computer console with two crew member stools and of course, a captain’s chair. The coolest part of the playset was hands-down, the transporter room. A figure would be placed inside the transporter, and then you would spin it by using the buttons on top of it, then you mash the stop button and the figure would disappear…..….or at least be on the other side of the transporter. This set sold extremely well and usually can be found on the secondary market for a reasonable price.

U.S.S . Enterprise Action Gift Set

Market Value: Boxed $1,000 – $1,500 Loose $125 – $200

U.S.S. Enterprise Action Gift Set Accessories: Plastic Fold-Out Playset, Captain’s Chair, Navigational Console, Stools x 2, Spinning Transporter, Figures x 5 – Capt. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Mr. Scott, Klingon Years Released: 1977 Scarcity Factor: This is somewhat rare and does not come up for sale very often Notes: The U.S.S Enterprise Action playset sold so well, that Mego decided to bundle it with the remaining overstock of Series 1 figures (minus Uhura) and release it as the U.S.S. Enterprise Action Gift Set in 1977. It was essentially the same exact playset as the basic release, just with the figures added. The figures themselves came inside individual clear bags and again, were the exact same ones as the basic issue. This means that the only way you could prove that you own an Enterprise Gift Set is to have a boxed version with the bagged figures inside because a loose version would be the same as the regular release. That being said, this is an extremely rare piece from the Star Trek line and can command BIG dollars on the secondary market if you are even able to locate one in box.

Mission To Gamma VI Playset

Market Value: Boxed $1,200 – $1,500 Loose $600 – $750

Mission To Gamma VI Playset Accessories: Plastic Playset, Stairs, Trap Door, Cloth Glove, Trap Plant, Cardboard Floor and Cavern Pieces, Aliens x 4 Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: Tough to find on the secondary market Notes: The Mission to Gamma VI playset was partially based on the Star Trek episode, “The Apple”. In that episode, there is a serpent looking head with glowing eyes and yes, there are man-eating plants and a subterranean cavern system too, so that was definitely the basis for this playset. All the décor and other features were all inspired from that as well. The miniature aliens were a new addition though because they never appeared in the episode. All of that being said, this is a strange playset for the 8 Inch figures. There is a rumor that a 3.75 Inch Star Trek line was planned and this playset was part of that, but the figures never actually made it to market and the playset was converted to the 8 Inch figures. I’m, not sure if that is true or not, but it does actually explain quite a bit. This is a tough find on the secondary market and can command top dollar if you can find a boxed version.

Transporter Room

Market Value: Boxed $600 – $800 Loose $100 – $150

Transporter Room Accessories: Spinning Transporter Years Released: 1976 Scarcity Factor: This is somewhat rare and does not come up for sale very often Notes: The USS Enterprise Playset was extremely popular and sold very well everywhere. The coolest thing about the playset, without a doubt, was the spinning Transporter Room. This got the attention of the Mego foreign brand company, Palitoy, who was their toy distributor in the UK and Canada. Palitoy took this super popular feature from the Enterprise and made it into a solo accessory simply called, The Transporter Room. It was basically the same spinning transporter from the bigger playset, except now it was by itself with no other pieces. The foreign released Transporter was also made famous by a 2012 episode of the Big Bang Theory, when Sheldon Cooper got one as a Christmas gift from Penny. I’m not sure how much Penny paid for the one she got, but these things are pretty rare and can fetch top dollar on the secondary market.

Star Trek (1974-1977): Vehicles

No actual vehicles were released for the Star Trek 8 Inch line during its run. A Vulcan Explorer motorized vehicle was actually proposed, but sadly never made it to market .

By 1974, Mego Toys was quickly becoming a global name in the toy industry. With the World’s Greatest Heroes line already proving to be a huge success, Mego turned their sights on other licenses from the the big and small screens with Planet of the Apes and now Star Trek, which were both released in 1974. The original Star Trek television series ran from 1966 to 1969 and spanned 79 episodes. In late 1969, Star Trek began running old episodes in syndication in over 200 markets, which sparked a revival of interest in the show from old and new fans alike. This renewed interest took off like wildfire and even spawned the first ever Star Trek Convention in June of 1972. Star Trek became so big, the original actors returned to voice their characters in the Animated Series from 1973 to 1974. Paramount’s strategy to syndicate Star Trek was paying off big time and the country was thrust into Trekkie mania. Mego took notice of this and quickly signed a licensing deal for a Star Trek toy line, for an extremely reasonable price. Mego had high hopes for the line from the very beginning, and put a lot of attention to detail into Star Trek, which really showed with the first series of figures and accessories released in 1974. Since Star Trek Mania was at a fevered pitch, the Star Trek action figure line turned out to be one of the biggest selling lines that Mego ever produced. It did well enough that a second and even third series of figures were released in following years. Star Trek Merchandise exploded into every retail store in the country, and even across the world, but none of them ever achieved the success that Mego did with their iconic toy line.

During its four year run, Mego gave us some truly iconic and classic figures and accessories for the Star Trek line from 1974-1977. In total, Mego released 14 different figures across three waves during its run, along with some great accessories and playsets. The first series initially contained five figures that included Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Mr. Scott, and the Klingon. Lt. Uhura was added to the Series 1 lineup late, but she is still considered part of Series 1. The fact that Mego chose to release a female character (that traditionally did not sell as well to the target audience) over more well known characters, such as Sulu or Chekov was a bold but progressive move for Mego. Also released as part of Series 1 was the U.S.S Enterprise Playset and the Communicators set. The figures proved to be so popular that a second series was released in 1975, which was added four new Aliens characters to the set. Included in Series 2 were Cheron, The Keeper, Neptunian, and The Gorn. Four additional Alien characters were released in Series 3, which contained Talos, Mugato, Andorian and The Romulan. The last series of Aliens were released late, and are among the hardest to find Mego figures ever produced. Several other accessories and playsets were also released during Mego’s Star Trek action figure run, such as the Tricorder, Super Phaser II Target Game, Command Communications Console, and the Mission to Gamma VI playset. These all made for a lot of great fun, playing with the Star Trek action figure line, and remains beloved by that generation of children, myself included.

The packaging for the basic assortment of the Star Trek figures were colorful and extremely eye catching with beautiful artwork, which would remain a staple with Mego’s figure packaging. The Series 1 packaging in 1974 had each figure on a standard carded blister pack with the figure to the right side and a small beautifully drawn portrait of each character in the series to the left. The classic Star Trek logo was at the top of the left side of the card with each character’s name just above the blister bubble. The color of the character’s lettering varies, depending on which wave it was released in. Beginning in 1975 with Series 2, Mego changed the look of the cards to reflect the new Alien figures that were released in series 2 and 3. The Aliens cards featured a nice looking planet surface landscape with two planets or moons above it. Also, the word “Aliens” is placed below the Star Trek logo in huge yellow letters. All alien figures featured the same card as well with only the backs slightly different from Series 2 to series 3. All in all, the regular issue and Alien issue packaging was very attractive for the figures and even the sets and accessories were nice looking. Mego really did a good job with the Star Trek line and it paid off big time for them.

The Collective: Retro Mugatu and Uhura Mego Figures Announced

| February 9, 2008 | By: John Tenuto 44 comments so far

The Mugatu was seen in the episode "A Private Little War" where it presented quite a challenge to Captain Kirk. The original Mego version from the 1970s is one of the more unusual action figures, mostly due to the decision to include funky hippie clothes on the Mugatu. Because of its design and limited release, an original Mego Mugatu is often expensive and this reproduction could help many fans afford the otherwise unattainable toy. The 1970s Mego Uhura is much closer to the actual character, especially its excellent costuming. With the release of Uhura, all of the original Star Trek main characters have now been reproduced for the retro line (there never was a Sulu or Chekov action figure).

With their very good detailing, these figures continue the line which reproduces the classic Mego toys. The figures are distributed by Diamond Select Toys and produced by EMCE Toys. As of this summer, DST and EMCE will have released Kirk, Spock, Scotty, McCoy, Uhura, Klingon, Andorian, Romulan, and the Keeper from the original 1970s line. This leaves Cheron, Gorn, Neptunian, and Talos action figures requiring release. However, the retro line is being expanded to include action figures not from the original Mego toys. Trekmovie.com reported earlier this week about Mego Khan, the first of these "original" retro style figures.

Expect more Star Trek Toys news to come later this week from the New York Toy Fair.

Original MEGO commercial from the 70s…shows most of the line (w/ Uhura but not Mugatu)

Special thanks to reader Jeff for the tip.  As many readers know, the Mugatu is a friend of the site, but he could not be reached for comment as he is busy shopping for more clothes

That doesn’t do much justice to Nichelle.

That skirt is a little……short?

The pose that the neptunian is in looks like it was smashed on the car windshield! How about that music, a hypnotic Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek

WTF is up with those aliens?! Haha … those Mego designers apparently only had a passing familiarity with the show.

Just grabbed Spock but geez, 27 bucks CAN vs. 20 bucks US for my Kirk at the Vegas Experience. So much for the Loonie at par with the Greenback. Must be the extra S&H by sleddog to my igloo … eh?

Rereleasing this line, plus Remastered Trek, plus the new movie, plus Playmates doing the movie stuff, wow pretty amazing stuff … eh?

Who the hell is the Neptunian?

#6–No kidding. I don’t remember that.

pretty sure that mugato is one of the gorilla soldiers from the planet of the apes toy series (also by mego, i think), with of course white hair and a dog penis grafted on to the skull.

THAT MUGATU OUTFIT…

Didn’t I see Roger Daltry wear that once during his heyday with the Who…?

LOL!!! Sick, but oh-so true.

Ok cool, let’s see the movie figures and accessories please.

Ironically, it looks more like Zoe Saldana than Nichelle. (11th!- but really 15th… maybe.)

The Neptunian was a made up alien that was never in TOS, but many have alluded to TAS as the inspiration for the Neptunian alien Mego as it was brand new when the alien Megos were in production. It also has a strong resemblance to the Aquan aliens in the TAS episode “The Ambergris Element”.

Personally I think the Neptunian is a cross between an Aquan and a Phylosian (another TAS alien)!

Lt. Yuhura to the bridge, please.

I dunno. I used to LOVE Planet of the Apes as a kid almost as much as Star Trek and I had the Cornelius and Urko action figures and I think one of my friends also may have had a gorilla soldier (but I’m not too sure). I do know that Urko’s face didn’t look like that. Man, I wish I still had those.

Harry Ballz, Mugato finally got his due…

No kidding! There was like a, what, 30 year drought of cool original TOS stuff from the seventies, and like within one year, a torrential flood of goodies!

I am like so overspent for the year snapping up all of these cool retro Trek releases, and just when I think I have purchased every cool retro Trek thing re-released BOOM another cool toy comes out!

Not that I’m complaining. Will be pre-ordering Uhura and Mugatu, Just received Spock and the Andorian and am oh so pleased with them.

Just when I made my last credit card payment, and had a balance of $0.00, I am back in debt again!

These latest 2 releases are very good news for the promise of all of the retro Alien Megos coming out, as they are not on the retro packaging cards of the previously released figures. I am wondering what is on the retro Mego Uhura and Mugatu packaging cards now.

This is also good news for the promise of Star Trek Mego playsets coming out in the future as well.

I think I saw Mego Uhura outside the Clairmont Lounge on Ponce. (OK, you really have to be an Atlantans to fully appreciate the seediness of that comment.)

Mugatu’s got clothes…dohhhhhh!

I wonder if/when there will be figures of the iconic characters that look like the new actors. (A Chris Pine Kirk, a Zachary Quinto Spock, etc)….

I hope they release the playsets.

Yes, Uhura!

Watch the vid. Dude says Yuhura.

I bet Harry Ballz wants a box of Mugato dolls!

And it wasn’t a woman… ;-)

Peace. Live long and prosper. The Vulcanista }:-|

Addendum to #25

#18, I was surprised at how much info is on Google regarding Clairmont Lounge. Here’s some info.

http://tinyurl.com/yp24ud

Sleaze at its finest! And yeah, you actually might run across “Uhura” at the Clairmont.

And isn’t Uhura missing some of her costume in that pic above??

Why does Uhura look big enough to kick Mugatu’s ass?

Looks like they picked the scrawniest Mugatu on the friggin’ planet!

And why does he have more clothes than Uhura?

Funny, that part doesn’t bother me for some reason!

Well, duh! :)

But, still… It just don’t seem right somehow, Uhura being without her dance pants and all.

Gee whiz, I’m cordial and friendly to the few female Trek fans who post on this site and, suddenly, I’m the lecher of Trekdom………golly, I’m just trying to extend the hand of friendship to like-minded fans…………

By the way, that’s a lovely dress you have on today, Ms. Vulcanista! :)

Alright, a Mugato in clothes is not canon, but after all there may be many Mugatos out there (even a different tribe wearing costume) and nobody says this figure is personating THE Mugato.

So, let’s be grateful for *a* representative of the varied Mugato population. :)

Personally, I think THIS Mugatu looks a little “light in the loafers”, if you get my drift..

Who the hell would want a Mugatu figure?

Well if you want “THE” Mugato, maybe you can just strip off his clothes! Wonder if it’s all fur under there!

Sheesh! I can’t begin to count how many things are wrong with that statement! :)

Sorry, but to begin and end with, you didn’t get my actual statement.

Good luck next time and Cheers! :)

…not everybody keeps their genitals in the same place… :D

Now *that’s* a line I’d like to see written into the new movie after the strike settles!

Oh, wait. I just realized as I hit “Send It”, that was in VI, wasn’t it?

Still a good line.

Gives new meaning to calling someone a “dickhead”, doesn’t it?

This is fantastic news! WTG Diamond Select! And with four original aliens yet to re-release, it sounds like a perfect time to (finally) make and pair them with a Sulu, Chekov, Chapel and Rand. Here’s hoping!

I really hope that they`ll release Sulu,Chekov,Yeoman Rand,Nurse Chapel to “couple” the 4 remaining aliens(Gorn/Talosian/Cheron/Keeper)while being at it,a Sarek figure would be “interesting” since the news of the Kahn figure release!Why noy the tellarite ambassador,Harry Mudd and all the others that the customizers sell for a fortune… Everybody should have his own Star Trek TOS universe!Lol!
