Lt. Ellis

mmmmmmmm. If thats a stunning likeness to Gay Ellis, then I am Tom
Cruise's double. I wont be rushing out to buy it.

I wonder if I should have Gabrielle contacting her solicitors? If Jessica
Alba can sue over her photo being used on the cover of Playboy then she as a
much better case with this.

Surely you jest. Gabrielle signed away all rights to her likeness in exchange for a paycheck
and residuals for the first 2 reruns of the series when she accepted the job.
I'd suggest that anyone who wants to see more figures support PE's efforts - besides, you never
know what may happen; someone might just sculpt up a better looking head to replace the one that comes
with the doll. Without the doll, you wouldn't have a body to attach it to.

But if they (PE) are going to continue to do such a lousy job, I'm not sure that I WANT to see more figures. I still haven't bought any of the Mobiles because of the terrible weathering job done on them. But I guess I shouldn't complain. At least THEY are recognizable as SHADO Mobiles. Unfortunately, The Gay Ellis doll isn't recognizable as Gay Ellis.

Note that Comet Miniatures sells an "unweathered" PE SHADO Mobile,
and it's quite nice. Here is a photo:

I also chose not to buy the original Mobile because it didn't
look right, and I'm also not going to buy a Lt. Ellis figure
that doesn't look like Lt. Ells.

Thanks, Marc. I've been considering one of those. Is Comet Miniatures repainting and selling the badly painted ones, or is PE doing a special run of these just for Comet Miniatures? I wish FAB Gear had the "clean" version for sale.

FWIW, I could live with the head on the Ellis doll, if it was just meant to be a "generic" Moonbase operative head, instead of Gay's head. I think it actually turned out quite nicely, other than lacking the resemblance claimed by PE. The head appears much nicer than the body/uniform.

They appear to be a second (corrected) run from Product Enterprise.
I don't think they've been repainted.
