Two Sulu

Hey Gang!

So when I was trying to correct and error in a post I lost it all together!  I was happy to find out that the pictures were still available on my album archive!  So now I am reposting it again and adding
new details that weren't there the last time.

The Post!

I have two Lt. Sulu action figures!
One is a 1999 action figure and the other is a 2009 action figure.  Both by Playmate

Hikaru Sulu is character in the Star Trek portrayed by

George Takei in the original Star Trek series and 

John Cho in the Star Trek the reboot film series.

Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek,  did not want a nationally specific 

surname, so he looked at a map and saw the Sulu Sea. 

"He thought, 'Ah, the waters of that sea touch all shores'.

My First Sulu

 I had him redressed in this Bruce Lee outfit so I left 

him in it.  He likes it much better!

Second Sulu

He is in the original outfit for this picture.

 There is more detail in this uniform than the older one. There is more of a pattern
to the shirt and more detail in the pants too.

The problem with both this action figures is....

The boots don't come off!!! GRR!!!

No real feet!

I was told that Hey, it is Muff know how to remove the boots on the newer
action figure. Hey, Muff if you do, please let me know!

For now this guy will have to make do with the pants he came in.  I can find
shirts for him. He work in the lab around her.  Maybe I can take his head off
and put him on another body?  Hmm, that might be interesting!

Sulu: You can what???

OK, Thanks For Looking!
