Well, where do i start..?
Urmmmmm... Yeah...
Right, first off... Playmates announced as licence holders.
oh and
.
Saw first figure...
Saw the new Enterprise toy and, i dont know if its just me but the angle chosen for release makes it look a whole lot better, dontya think?
It actually looks in proportion, sort of. I like the shot, i like the detail of the toy, infact from that you can see obvious design elements take from the original model and incorporated into it. Obviously those elements have been changed etc to match the rest of it. But, the damn ship actually looks good.
The Transporter Room, well, brings back memories of those old transporter room playsets, dont it? Interesting take on the old design, but again, itll look different on screen, as like always, the toy versions are changed and the parts are often close together.
And that brings me to the bridge. On a closer look , the bridge design is more like a command center, ala NASA. But, its still a play mat with horribly out of scale things to place on it.
Also, if you look carefully it looks like its missing its upper back level due to the fact you have to collect the parts, in the trailer, there is no throne-like plinth, there is no railing either that we also see in the trailer, the capts chair part fits into the front part of the toys center, creating a high back like plinth.
Fuck knows, its Playmates, anythings possible when you get the production veresion of these.
Oh, and those smaller figures look a damn sight better than the first one released. Lets hope they dont turn out like the Indiana Jones 3 1/2 inch figures.
