TNG new line of Reaction figures

[Crewman6]

I can dream.

Why do you want Disney to own YET ANOTHER massive franchise?

 

[publiusr]

It might be the only way Trek gets better support

 

[Tomalak]

Better support than it currently enjoys with five series in production and more in development, plus films?

Strange how we never get Wesley in the season 2/3 acting ensign costume, which I think is his best look.

Not strange. Wesley is in the outfit he was supposed to get with the Galoob line. And the owner of ReAction is getting his wish granted.

 

[Tomalak]

No, I'm not talking about this line in particular. I don't think we've ever got a Wesley in the 2/3 costume - not from Playmates or Diamond Select.

Here you go!

Ha! Well there you go.

Whoo hoo! While no pics have yet been released, Wave 2 of the TNG Reaction Figures has gone up on Entertainment Earth (and possibly other e-tailers) for pre-order.

The wave includes:

Riker!
LaForge
Dr. Crusher!
Troi!
Q!

and...........




Armus....?!

Seriously, Super7, WTF on that one?

That said, I'm delighted we'll be getting the rest of the main crew, plus Q! Hooray!

(though since this batch completes the core cast, I'd be surprised if we got a third wave.)

Armus....?!

Finally!

 

[Tomalak]

I assumed this got canned because of the Playmates news.

Armus is a great call!

Maybe testing the water for "Lower Decks"?

Son of Mogh...

I see they went with later season 'bloated' Worf look, wonder if we also got a girdled Riker as well?

 

[publiusr]

Finally!

A great villain, Armus

All the adult male figures have the same torso. Your body-shaming will not fly here!

Armus is a misunderstood tragi-hero.

Im glad the poor lonely fella is finally being immortalised in plastic.

I bought the series of polystone statues when they first came out. I was very underwhelmed by the Armus - until I painted him with gloss black enamel. (Mine is in storage at the moment, but I just wanna paint this one I just found on the web. He needs to be shiny.)

 

[Therin of Andor]

Prediction is that the next wave of six figures will include a Romulan for the same reason.

It seems the rumoured Romulan was thwarted by... Armus!

Nice, but I think at this point you're better off waiting for the Playmates Toys relaunch, unless you really need an Armus figure.

 

[Orphalesion]

They always seem to make figures of Troi wearing her lavender suit.
Why not change it up and give us a Season 1 Troi figure with that weird bun and the unfinished looking grey suit? :-P
