First Action Figure image released

[Bacl]

I'd just like to say that I haven't been in the Trek XI forum for a while and it's nice to see a thread where somebody complained about something

Yes, if it is one thing people don't do enough of in the Star Trek XI forum, it's complain.


(sorry couldn't resist butchering your post to force a joke. forgive)

Now, where "Star Trek" is concerned I'd have preferred that they just darkened and broke up the big bright comic-book shirts into designs that look a little more like uniforms while keeping a few bright contrast panels. But they clearly wanted to be more faithful to TOS than that, so the obvious (tested and successful) solution was to do the Spider-Man/Superman thing.

Some folks will still get them confused with these guys. Which from a merchandising point of view might not be a bad thing. Maybe Playmates should do Trek versions of these next.

That's funny. Every time I used to see their stuff at Walmart, I was like "They're making Star Trek again!?!?"

No, Funko are doing them. Really.

Cleverly, these are caricatures who could be either TOS or JJ characters, so people who like this kinda stuff won't have to worry about their allegiance.

Funko are doing bobble heads and some sort of bastard urban vinyl. He's talking about toys for very small children. (Though, I see your point. They have similar a aesthetic.)

 

[MisterPL]

Yes, I was referring to toys for Trekkies who actually procreate and want to share with their offspring. If Hellboy can offer them...

At least we have an indication of what the phaser looks like. Unless it's been knit from wool too.

it looks like crap! so far i don't think i've seen a single design from this movie i like.

Ack! Could that figure BE any more foul? I think we all know the answer to that question...

 

[Devon]

Ack! Could that figure BE any more foul?

By putting feathers on it?

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

"OMG CANNON CANNON !!!!111 IT"S NOT STAR TREKKZ!!" or whatever people think the people that have gripes with the movie say.

Well, you did capture their spelling and use of punctuation pretty well.

That image truly sucks bloodworms.

I had a sweater like that - back in the 80s, when they were fashionable.

I hope the disclaimer about the final product is correct.
