The Surface Dwellers is a fun project I decided to take on,
essentially a take on the Mego Star Trek
Aliens line of toys, essentially a second series of aliens and
monsters loosely based on the series. Mego took their liberties with
the characters names and appearance to make then more "toyetic" and so
shall I.
The series uses the 10" bodies that Mego used for their Logan's Run Prototypes
except for our first figure:
Mego Alien Captive
Based on the Logan's Run Episode "The Collectors" this little guy
didn't have much of a speaking part. I used an 8" body that works at
making him shorter than the rest of the cast.
Mego Carousel Guard
Another "Man with no name" even though this technically was
Francis under that mask, I chose the generic name "Carousel Guard"
The Protector
I finally went ahead and stole a show used name, "The Protector"
was actually the zookeeper in "The Collectors" but i preferred to use
it for this shadowy guy who saves the day in the end.
