I’m a bit disappointed they are already doing new versions of characters they already did and not doing something new with them. First was a new Locutus, then Data last year and now Geordi and Worf.

Do them in the First Contact style uniforms or the DS9 jumpsuits. Just gimme something different.
 
There's only so many that can be desired, surely*? It's not like these figures can have new features like interior lighting, though to be fair most premade models stick only with nacelle and impulse engine glows and forget things like windows, navigational (red/green) lights, running lights lighting up the registry, but do have a DSP where, once you tap the button, it plays a line taken from the show at what's surely worse than that lovely fuzzy audio quality of 11kHz, 8-bit monaural sound channel that was deemed exciting back in 1985** but with much larger microchips and eight "D"-type batteries ran in series and lasted maybe 5 minutes on said battery power***?


* Personally, replace the block head with a hexagonal head, an octagonal head, or a dodecahedral head and I'm so there! 🤤
** which it sorta was, since little at the time did anything like that...​
*** I'm a nurd, please feel free to tell me to get a life, or help me get one 🤪

No but you can do thinks like different uniforms, poses, etc. They did a Kirk POP a long time ago and it was pretty basic, he was just in an action pose. The next Kirk they did he’s sitting in the Captains chair. Then there was mirror Kirk, then Kirk in mid-Transport and a Kirk/dying Spock WoK diaorama. The only other generic looking Kirk was the one from Star Trek Beyond.

So gimme Worf standing up with a piece of the Tactical Station or Data with the fucked up face from First Contact. Just give us some variety so it doesn’t feel like we are buying the same thing.

And Funko has shown with other lines, they aren’t afraid of deep pulls or weird characters. So open it up.
 
I'm surprised Funko is even putting out new figures.
They reported a $41 million dollar loss against $8.9 million in sales last quarter of 2025, and have missed two loan payments totaling $241 million.
They said they could go bankrupt sometime this year if things don't turn around.
 
I don’t get it either.

Remember Pupper Master? The killer doll Pinhead (not you, Hellpriest) with the tiny little head?

How would they ever do that I wonder…
