Playmates Toys

[Sketcher]

It's cool that DST/AA fans can add to their collections, but I'm not convinced how economically viable this line is, but I guess releasing more Kirks and Spocks isn't really viable either, lol

Yeah I would've thought at this point figures like Pike/Spock/Una from SNW and Shaw/Seven from Picard would be the future of any Trek toyline.

Nacelle doesn't have the rights to the new shows.

I'm not sure who has?

Playmates did do Saru and Burnham at least. They planned Pike and Spock in the aborted second wave.

 

[drt]

It might be viable if these figures are sold at a high price point.

Yeah, i guess the question is how high will people tolerate for a line where the majority are relatively minor characters?

Paramount doesn't seem to do exclusive licenses so I think Nacelle could have snagged rights for the new shows, particularly for the DST/AA size, but maybe they were just too expensive.

 

[Tosk]

Well I for one am much more excited about some of these characters than yet another Kirk and Picard.

As am I. Just saw this earlier today and I can’t believe we’ll actually be getting a Tuvix action figure. That’s so wild. I’ll make sure to not let the Janeway figure get near it.

 

[Tosk]

I'm not even a huge Voyager fan and I'll still be getting that Tuvix. He looks great.

 

[NCC-73515]

Yeah I also wouldn't get a 5th Picard
Making those that never were made is much better.

Brian from Nacelle has said that someone else has the licence, suggesting it wasn't available.

Maybe they will acquire it in the future.

I wonder who that is?

 

[NCC-73515]

Probably still Playmates, they made the PRO and DIS figures

I hope they don't sit on it too long, or at the very least, make that Prodigy phaser they prototyped

 

[Paul755]

It is kinda funny that the first figure from Voyager in the AA/DST scale is Tuvix.

I would buy another version of one of the “regulars” if it looked good, was unique, etc… even if it’s a double of something that Playmates did. But the longer they are able to avoid them and keep the line viable the better.

I would guess Playmates still has the license for nu-Trek even if they don’t plan on producing any figures. It could just be a matter of waiting for the deal they made to expire.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

One more action figure will make no difference in the here and now. But twenty-two years ago, Rachel Garrett could have stopped this war before it started.

Instant purchase.

This is like the Sticky Ends Collection! Apart from Captains Sulu and Jellico, who may yet meet grisly demises in canonfire...

 

[NCC-73515]

New flea market treasures - I love how accurate most of the PM figures are

 

[Tomalak]

The Zek figure is just awesome, one of my favourites.

 

[NCC-73515]

I saw him loose without choking hazards a few times, but that is one of the figures who really 'need' their tools, like his staff and the latinum, which even is gold and not green orange purple
Dathon also kinda needs his dagger at least, even if it's bright red, cause otherwise the front sheath is empty.

 

[Tomalak]

Yeah his sceptre is key to the character really - fortunately the original Quark figure came with a spare!

 

[NCC-73515]

Which foot numbers are considered low?

 

[Paul755]

I think the foot numbers were just totally random. I wouldnt put any stock in them for value or rarity.

 

[Tomalak]

Yes, I can't say the foot number has ever had any impact on value as far as I know.

Possibly very low numbers (below 100?) might have curiosity value to someone. Probably more so for exclusives like the 1701 figures.

I think the lowest I have is around 900 - from memory it's the Target exclusive Riker in the First Contact/Insurrection uniform.
