A boring Friday night at home and I got to doing something I have been aiming to do for a while.It’s been quite some time since I broke out my collection of Kirk’s for a group photo shoot.A few years ago I did a Kirkmania thread and I have been wanting to do another for some time now.I brought in only my favorites for this shoot and just snapped away.In this batch is my original DB II that I was fortunate to grab from Mr. Billy Kirkus,my #6 Shat,#6 NAG 75K,my NAG 2K and the lovely #18 MMK.I have a major love for Kirk’s and I believe it even exceeds my love for a great Myers.So,I always get excited about taking them out for a spin and giving them some attention.It’s always nice to let the DB out of the case for a brief period and the same for the 75K.The 75K has only been taken out of that case twice,I believe,so it was great to give it some time out of it’s home.With all of that said,I gotta say that Justin created such a masterpiece in the Shat.Every time I take pictures of that mask I am amazed at the rich detail.In my opinion,it is the star of the show in these pics and that says a lot.The Shat is a triumph in the Kirk collecting territory.
As always,I hope you guys enjoy and thanks for looking.
The Shat, man. That’s all I’m sayin’.
Good Lord… Thats a Hell of a Kirk Lineup there brother Randy!
Quite the kirk collection, Randy!
Amazing dude, simply amazing.
So much AWESOME in these shots. Thats a great group ya got right there!!
Cool pic’s, and awesome collection of Kirks you have, The shat is the King…Dean
Five great Kirks with the DBII and the 75K being my two favorites. Now you need to get five “green chick” masks to keep the Captain(s) happy!
Holy freakin Kirks!
The 75K gets my vote.
There’s just no toppin or stoppin the 75K.
Thanks for commenting,guys and it’s been really cool hearing your opinions on what you think is the top Kirk sculpt!!Seems like the 75K is the crowd favorite The Shat being in the running as well,I must say that the Shat just stands out to me.The cheek hooks are so defined and the expression in the face is second to none.I just love that mask.Justin created an all-time classic in the Shat and any Kirk lover should own one!!
So,like a putz I forgot to add my #12 HMK Kirk into the original mix The HMK is also a major Kirk in my collection and there was no way I wasn’t going to include it.So,I broke out the camera again this morning and took some shots of it and had to do a few more of the Shat since I loved playing around with it yesterday.I threw in some Myers related background just to break up the pics.I am working on getting some background on that wall eventually to accentuate my photos a bit.In the meantime,this Judith tombstone from Mo does very nicely and makes pictures pop a bit for sure.
Again,I appreciate you guys looking and taking time to reply.It means a lot.
It’s amazing how this Shat WANTS to look like Myers so bad.All the detail is there and so rich.These two pics with the light dimmed a bit and then even more show Myers popping through.The Shat is just amazing.
Thanks again for looking,guys
Am unbeleivable Kirk extravaganza. These are beyond awesome randy. It’s hard to pick a favorite.

The Shat is definitely the star attraction of that group, it just shouts out as an unconverted Hero. Too bad the MMK isn’t painted up like the others, it stands out in that respect. An amazing collection.
Outstanding Kirk collection there, my favs are the 75k and the 2K but all are epic
It’s “KirkMania” up in here!
Nice shots Randy! Awesome to see a huge chunk of Kirk history in one place.
I was telling Randy earlier how much likeness there is in his 75K kirk to the Original 75 kirk featured in Dante’s old video of Alienworld.the likeness is so close it’s scary even down to the color of the flesh.

Thanks,guys and yes it is Kirkmania indeed,Jason!!
Anthony,I am still blown away by watching that video and seeing how much my 75K resembles the one in Alienworld.It’s absolutely uncanny how similar they look Very good eye on that one.
I appreciate all of you guys checking out the captains
I could stare at these shots for hours. I would have a very hard time choosing between all of those Kiks but if I really had to choose I’d go with the Shat, DBII and the 75K. They blow the rest away and that is no small feat. -Tom
Now this is cool! Unbelievable collection of Kirks a real treat seeing them all together like this. All are exceptional in their own way, The Shat certainly is very Myers-esque. I think a lot more of us would have one but feel put off by the eyes. Overall The 75k and 2K are at the top.
But I think a DP 99 Shatner (like mine) would look ace in there
While on the subject, Niks Kirk retool of the Nightmare should be interesting and may also belong here!
Wow-What a collection!
Thank you kindly,guys.I am glad you guys appreciate a fine Kirk like I do.The 75K since is such a great mask and so versatile.I agree that it is scary close to the real deal.Owning that Kirk from the old mold and a Myers from the new mold,I can honestly see why all of the fuss was made about the old mold 75K.It just has something special over the new mold.I have to look through the board and try to look up some pics of new mold 75K’s in Kirk form.So many have been sold as blanks and instantly made into a Myers mask that I can’t recall even seeing a Kirk from the new mold offhand
Thanks again for the comments and for the opinions,guys.
