How would the world be different if the guy from our favorite Halloween costume (as discussed in the previous post) had actually been the one to land the classic role of James T. Kirk? What if there was no Shatner? Help the world visualize this with your mad Photoshop skills and send your best effort to DarthMojo4U at AOL (Click here for a clean image of “big Kirk” to help get you started). The winner will receive the ultimate prize – the thrill of victory! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with. Spread the word! And remember to check back with this post often – I’ll keep updating as new images are submitted!

The winner (as chosen by Darth Mojo readers) will be given the gift of fame! I’ll turn over my blog to whomever is deemed king and give you the opportunity to create your very own post. It can be shameless self-promotion, a rant, the behind-the-scenes story of how you created the winning image or pictures of kittens, it’s entirely up to you. Nerd king for a day! Who could ask for more?
So good luck – and start sharpening those pencils!

I wonder if Mirror-Kirk would get rid of the goatee. :D
Hey! That’s it! That’s how they can bring back Shatner! When the movie cast goes into the mirror universe, their dopplegangers are the original cast :)
Here’s a bigger image of the guy, if you dare!
[link is post has been updated, thanks for that Doublefive!]
Dammit Drew!
I tried drew’s idea but his looks great, nice job…
Space, the expanding frontier (and waistline).
These are great, keep ‘em coming :-)
I think he is hot !!!!!
Anyone got his number ?
ATTENTION! I’ve opened this up to all things Shatner, so help us imagine how different the world would be if the classic role had been won by our favorite costume model…
This is hard…they are all so funny….but I like the one with by peasant where they are stuffing him into his outfit like a turkey…:)
Drew’s actually makes me want to see him in Star Trek!
Transformed Man FTW!
me = Drew by the way. :-D
I have to say that I like Peasant’s squeezing into the uniform image the best. Something about his cheeks…
Okay, one of the problems with forwarding links to friends is that, for whatever reason, my log-in got kept in the link.
I certainly didn’t say “I think he is hot”. Gonna have to have words with Adrian about that…
I like the fat captain kirk action figure
Oh there’s more. I’m going to have to change my vote to the Action Figure. Nice work there.
My vote goes to the international Star Trek poster. That poster is SO un-Star Trek (Independence Day anyone?) that seeing “xxl kirk” in place of the laser causing those waves and mushroom cloud just had me laughing.
Gotta say I like the Corvette one.
I am dying of laughter this is a fun deal! STAR TREK I am glad always has some humor attached to it.
ROTFLMFAO!!!!
Holy hell i haven’t laughed so hard in a long ass time!
The further down the page i scrolled the more i kept laughing :-D
Funny stuff, Mojo.
But watch out!
That guy, you’re making fun of, might come after you.
It would be nice if we could find this guy – he’s a star now! I think he would be quite intrigued by the amount of attention he’s getting. The campaign for a cameo in the next Star Trek movie starts here!
Also, I believe the humour stems from the manufacturers odd choice in selecting an unusual ‘Captain Kirk’ model rather than at the stand-in’s expense. I don’t think he’d be upset by it at all.
I agree, they have to put this guy in Star Trek oficially now. The “Phase Two” guys should sign him up. Maybe not “mirror universe” Kirk, but definitely “fun house mirror universe” Kirk!
I can’t just pick one……. :-)
I gotta’ say… that “Fat Capt. Kirk” action figure is the best and most original. Being a long time Star Trek fan who got the Enterprise toy set and Kirk, Spock, Scotty and Klingon MEGO dolls for my fourth birthday, that really brought back memories. Awesome job, whoever did that one!!!
Second place to Adrian’s “Right, I ate the Gorn… what next?” which made me laugh out loud. One of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. And as a child of the seventies, I think the runner’s up should be the T.J. Hooker photo by Joom and the animated series fat Kirk by Church.
As far as pure photo-shopping talent, making the image almost transparent, I think the “Khaaaaaaannnnnn!!!!!” photo submitted by Capt. Jon and the Kirk-holding-the-Enterprise model by Mojo look the best. (Great job with the shadows and adding the grain to the image, Mojo!)
I especially like Sean’s and SRH’s entries. :)
The Tribble one is mine!
And he could do Priceline commercials too!
so far, I’m going to have to go with either, “Kirk on a horse”, the horses face is priceless…or the Mego Action Figure, very original.
ok…my final vote will have to be for “Tribbles” by Snazz.
I thought about doing something with Tribbles, but it never occurred to me to make him eating them…had me laughing!
I gotta cast my vote for the Kirk Action Figure… genius.
I gotta give the Animated Series some love.
I’m going to vote for the KHAAANNNN entry by Captain Jon
They all are good but the KHAAAANNNN by Capt Jon is PhotoShop in it’s best. Hope he never gets a pic of me (oh that’s right … he has zilliaons of STARFLEET photos).
Props to “Shane” on The Undiscovered Country scene… kinda says it all, doesn’t it? Ha!
Awww, I’m torn between the MEGO figure and the Genesis KHAAAAAAN … but I think I’ll vote the MEGO.
So help me, the Priceline tugged my heartstrings, too.
Now, I’m just waiting for this unknown model to throw his weight around and finally claim his residuals ….
The TUC one is by far my favourite (after the tribbles)
Just wanted to say that RiffTrax has announced plans to riff Star Trek 09. I only bring this up here because every time they riff on something, they always make their own little posters of their riff to fit with the movie. Well, Kevin Murphy’s head is spliced over our very own XXL Captain Kirk. :D
mmmmm Tribbles must taste good!
gotta vote for the tribble eater!
