Favorite Trek Toys you had as a kid.....

[Nerys Myk]

This is the only Star Trek toy I recall having as a kid.

 

[JRoss]

My favorite Trek toys were the Playmates figures. Locutus, Generic Romulan and Generic Ferengi. The Ferengi came with this cool "dilithium" crystal that I just loved looking through, plus he had a whip. The generic Borg was cool, too. Lemme see, my brother and I had Locutus, Ferengi, Riker, Romulan, Geordi, Odo, Quark. I think Odo, Riker and the Romulan were my brother's.

My favorite as a kid was the 'Innerspace' version of the Enterprise with the mini-figs. (I could never have afforded the full scale Playmates Enterprise bridge playset at that age, so this was the coolest thing ever as far as I was concerned.)

Of course, when I became an adult and had a disposable income (and access to eBay), I eventually bought the full size version. Wish fulfilment.

It really annoyed me that Troi and Crusher couldn't sit down in their Innerspace versions!

I definitely have more collectables now. We were pretty thrifty growing up...(poor as dirt). So I was very happy with any Trek/Wars toys I got.

It's also strange that all of the characters are based on their 'Phase 1' Playmates designs, right down to Picard wearing the Captain's Jacket and Riker having that goofy rip in his uniform chest, but Deanna was the uniformed version from later.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the rest of the Innerspace range, as I thought the decision to make tiny Bird-of-Preys and Excelsior Classes that were out-of-scale with the Enterprise, and had.... shall we say, "abstract" interpretations of the sets.... was a bad move by Playmates. Although the Enterprise-D shuttlecraft was pretty cool.

But even now I get nostalgic for the Innerspace Enterprise Bridge. I thought it was a really cool version of the bridge set in miniature, and I loved the little touches like Ten Forward, the Ready Room, and the ability to change the image on the viewscreen (I used to cut out photos from magazines of various planets and make my own custom viewscreen images cut to scale.)

Ha, yeah Picard even had the engage gesture, and Riker had the big jazz hand.

I loved them - the first wave was so cool, especially the perfect shuttle. The other ships weren't as good, but the Borg cube with the assimilation table and regeneration alcoves was awesome. I used to do battle with it against my micromachines.

The later wages weren't as good, and they often had duplicates of the figures. I did like the Stargazer, and I wanted the Defiant but never found it.

I did the same! I liked the sickbay and transporter room sets too, and the phaser turning into the alien planet was a cool toy. I expanded them with my own cardboard sets, and made a decent version of main engineering for a ten year old.

Same here. Stupid me brought the AMT Enterprise to my grandmotherss house. Then a cousin showed up unexpectedly.

I told my Mom I'd hide it and not to say anything.

She said "Why don't you you show Donny your Star Track"

She knew the little **&* would break it.

If I were to do a bridge set--I might put that inside a console--with some mods.

Still have all my old Playmates, and most of the MicroMachines.
A few figures missing from the whole run, plus lost the display stands for the Borg cube and two movie versions of the Enterprise-E, not shown.

The only Trek related thing I had growing up was TMP board game. Star wars and He-man were the figures I was given to play with.

This is slightly OT, but I bought a Borg cube today. Now all I need is at least 39 starships, and Wolf 359 can be pre-fought. I came *this* close to getting a TNG phaser.

Don't remember having many TOS toys as a kid, but I did make the Aurora plastic model of Spock facing the three-headed alien serpent.

I was nowhere near a kid by the time the latter-day shows came along.

I'm a big kid and I've been swooshing this around since I got it

That's just begging for a big green space hand.

I had a bunch of Playmates TNG toys - the electronic Enterprise-D (which the Argos catalogue mistakenly listed as 36" in length instead of 36cm), the electronic phaser, tricorder and com badge, and a small selection of figures (from memory I had Picard in his captain's jacket, Data, Geordi and K'ehlyr). I also had a sizeable collection of the Micro Machines ships - ones I specifically remember are the TOS Enterprise, Ent-D, Excelsior, Reliant (which I snapped a nacelle off by accident and then left as I thought it looked like the Enterprise had blown it off), Borg cube, Klingon BOP, Romulan BOP and Warbird, and the Ferengi Marauder. There were others but that's all I can remember offhand.

No idea what happened to all of them, I don't remember throwing them out or giving them away. I guess my mum had a clear out at some point.

Nowadays I have a Hot Wheels Kelvin 1701 on my shelf, and a model kit of small Enterprises I bought specifically because they reminded me of my old Micro Machines and never got round to building. I really must dig it out and actually do something with them.

I had a TMP Spock mingled in with a few Star Wars characters. I was probably four at the time.

I didn’t have any other Star Trek toys until micro machines released a set of Star ships and I bought it for myself.

My favourite micro machine starship was the excelsior. Incredible machine.

The Micro Machines ships were really great. Loads of detail, and I liked the little stands they came with. I had them all lined up on the shelf in my bedroom.

Agreed on the Excelsior too, it's a gorgeous ship.

The myriad 4.5" Playmates action figures, without a doubt (which I still have, BTW). Oh, how I've always wished that the companies that got licenses to make Trek figures after that would have kept making them in that scale! I've refused to buy any of them because they don't go with the figures I have.

Edit: I see I already answered this thread when it was first posted... last year.
