That's the reboot Mekon from the Eighties -- spotty and more robust.

I am not that familiar with pre-1980s Dan Dare/Mekon (but Google images always helpful!). Really should try and track down some of those 1950s tales.
The Mekon scared me in the 80s. From what I did read, he was akin to the likes of Darkseid, Red Skull and Skeletor: absolutely zero compassion and no redeeming qualities.

…is it heavy?•• Not at all! It's hollow, and I think it's made of fiberglass or something equally light.

Well, there was that one tempting opportunity last year...
However, there was no way of getting that loaded on the tour bus with Ultraman himself standing guard (Bin Furaya - R).
