Klassic Klingon Kharacters to Kollect

I consider Kor (John Colicos) and Kang (Michael Ansara) to be my favorite Klingon commanders from TOS. The reason why is simple: I loved their gold sashes. They're the only Klingons to have been so decorated in TOS (and, in the first season of TNG, Worf was given the same sash to wear, only over his right shoulder).

Art Asylum created "Klingon Warrior Kor" in 2004. In 2009, Diamond Select Toys reused the Kor body and added a new head, thus creating "Kang." Each Klingon was packaged with a disruptor and a d'k tahg.

Art Asylum's Kor is the first such rendering of this character as an action figure, and it's perfect, just as he appeared in "Errand of Mercy."

In 1998, Playmates created the first Kang figure, the elder, as he appeared in the DS9 episode "Blood Oath."

Diamond Select created the first TOS Kang, as he appeared in "Day of the Dove," and he's almost perfect … but for a bit of unique decoration that's missing from the right breast of the tunic (see below).

Unfortunately, Diamond Select is notorious for striking out on many of the details of its Star Trek figures.

Regardless, these two figures are must-owns for any self-respecting collector of Klingon action figures. Qapla'!
