I had preordered the Hiya Kelvin Kirk figure only to have it cancelled by Amazon — today they cancelled my preorder for the Hiya SNW Pike, I guess I won’t bother to preorder anymore of these guys from Amazon.

I never bothered with trying to find Kelvin Kirk elsewhere, may just forget about Pike as well.

I never had Quark on my list, but he was nicer in person, and comes not only with another Nagus staff (like Zek also had), but also with a Gilvo!

And they also had the magnificent WoK Saavik! The likeness, the accuracy, not only of the face, but also the costume, makes this one of their best figures!

Looks like the MR action figures have been delayed AGAIN. Mariner/Worf have been changed to July ‘26, Picard/Spock to June ‘26 and Riker/Boims to August ‘26.

The big nice e-mail I received from them in December said Mariner was supposed to ship…next week.

I emailed them to see what the deal is fwiw. The Nacelle delay is/was a pain in the ass but at least they mostly kept us updated. I’ll probably never pre-order from MR again.

Did they give a reason on canceling the Pike? You may have lucked out on Kirk though (ymmv) the likeness is horrible.

“lack of availability” - which is I think the same thing they said when they cancelled Kelvin Kirk. I definitely ordered Pike the day he became available (Kirk I think i preordered weeks after he became available, so I wasn’t that surprised when it was cancelled).

Medium Nero might be the best of the 09 figures

Someone sold a Playmates toy that was actually used in Way of the Warrior - it was painted by the props dept. Looked really cool.

Do you have a link? They used a lot of the Playmates toys and AMT/Ertl model kits in DS9, before the switch to CGI.

They used the generic Borg figure from the “First Contact” line in Scorpion pt1.

and MR confirmed more delays but didn’t say why. What a cluster fuck.

And apparently the Tom & B'Elanna figures on the wedding cake were PM figures.
I've heard they also used PM figures for miniature stuff on DS9, but never found out where.

They also used Micromachines to adorn the Starfleet Command model in Homefront/Paradise Lost.

I so badly wanted it, but the price that it sold for was too hard to have to explain to my wife!

The Generations game ad used a PM type 1
