Lt. Uhura's purple Logo:
The purple/mauve lettering packaging variant was produced between late 1974 and early 1975.
Production Timeline Context
- Late 1974 Addition: The original 1974 MEGO Star Trek line launched with only five figures (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, and a Klingon) featuring white text. Lt. Uhura was added as a late inclusion to the Series 1 lineup right before the end of the year.
- The 1975 Color Amendment: When her figure rolled out in early 1975, MEGO amended the packaging artwork. They changed the standard white name text to match the color of each character's specific profile circle. Since Uhura's portrait circle was purple/mauve, her name was briefly printed in purple.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I will take extra care to assure this ships securely and arrives in the same condition it is in now.
I have also listed 4 more MEGO Star Trek Figures still sealed. If you are interested in more than one, I will combine shipping. Please also check my other auctions for more vintage toys, vinyl records, dvd's, cd's, plus more. Thank you!
