Karl Urban -- blond or brunet?

Re: Karl Urban -- blond or brunette?

Amazing how that happens- great minds drooling together:drool:

Not to distract anyone from Mr. Urban- which in this company would be nigh impossible, I would like to point out that the website I listed previously has a section devoted to "Star Trek Hotties" , in which the writer has been kind enough to round up pics and links for the male cast members- sans shirts as much as possible.

One minor admission of guilt. When I first saw Urban was being cast as McCoy, I just couldn't quite see it. Until he came out of the bathroom, with that little pilot threatening to MAKE him sit down. And then I went into happy drool mood.
 
Re: Karl Urban -- blond or brunette?

It's definitely my second home at the moment! No kids and no husband, just us and McCoy ;)
 
Re: Karl Urban -- blond or brunette?

::Mr. Burns:: Excellent.

Is mine coming today, too -- did you get expedited shipping? I did not.

I did regular ground... it came a day early actually. If you ordered from amazon check your account page. There should be a tracking # for your shipment, it will tell you where it is :)
The UPS guy brought mine about an hour after you got yours! I was amazed it came so quickly. (I would have been in here sooner, but the internet connection was down all day...)

He's sitting beside me now where I can keep an eye on him.
 
Re: Karl Urban -- blond or brunette?

You know, I always preferred Urban's Cupid to Urban's Caesar. Yes, it was an obviously fake hair color, but the blond hair worked better for me.

Now, however, I prefer Karl's brunet (thanks JustKate) McCoy to either of those.
 
Re: Karl Urban -- blond or brunette?

Jeri - glad he arrived! Yes, you better keep an eye on him, or he'll start randomly hypo-spraying everyone ;)

What do you think of the figure? I am really impressed, it's pretty detailed and looks like Karl.

Praetor - I know how you feel, I love Cupid (though Caesar is just so darn sexy). I think Cupid was sweet and handsome on the show as well.

Did you see Green Eyed Monster, the one where he kidnaps Psyche? Even though he was supposed to be the monster, he was still so sweet.
But Caesar, yum.

McCoy is now right up there with my favorite Karl roles. He was so amazing in the movie, and the scruf! factor is off the chart. And he cleans up well too.

Crusher Disciple - I need to get him out of the plastic still, I got tied up yesterday and lost track of time! Did you take yours out yet? :)

I loved him in both roles, but I was a huge sucker for Caesar especially since I think it gave Karl an opportunity to showcase his acting skills.

Is he out of the plastic yet? :devil:
I just...can't...do...that... :lol:

Of all four 12" action figures, Karl's is the only one that seems to look like the actor. I would like the Kirk figure, but he could be anybody by looking at its face. I guess I'll get a poster or T-shirt.

What was that story again, about Karl's input on the McCoy action figure?

he said that he saw the original one and didn't like the way the face looked, so he sent them a picture of himself. It's here, and with the story of how he lost his favorite sunglasses.
 
Re: Karl Urban -- blond or brunette?

Since I clearly have way too much time on my hands here are couple more Karl pictures:

Re: Karl Urban -- blond or brunette?

God, the movements he makes while telling that story are just hilarious!

And the bottom button on his shirt is undone.

That's my favorite little detail. :cool:
 
Re: Karl Urban -- blond or brunette?

I'm extremely late to the party, but I like both. <3
mmm, Karl Urban

^ No you're not! We are glad to have you. :bolian:

I think I just fell in love with him all over again! The sunglasses story was priceless with him acting everything out. :rommie:

And his figure is really the only one that does look like him. The only other one to come close is Quinto. Kirk looks absolutely nothing like Pine though. I guess they will remember to add a "merchandising approval clause" in their contracts next time.

And I am seriously contemplating taking my McCoy out of his box. If I do, I will take some more pictures.
