Playmates Toys

So I finally saw the TNG and TOS movie Playmates figures in person at a local Wal-Mart. To my eye, they look a bit cartoony but in a different way from the 90s figures. The torsos seem too bulky while the legs are too skinny. And Data's hands are comically tiny. What's up with that? Somehow Spock's gloves don't seem quite as ridiculously big in person compared to the photos.

Is there any hint there'll be a second wave of figures yet?
I have not seen them in any Targets yet, either. If there is a Wal-Mart in your area, I would suggest taking a look there.My Target has none of them

Probably won't be announced until first quarter next year, based upon last quarter's performance.
Tried Target.com?
I know online shopping isn't everyone's cuppa, I am just throwing the option out there because I found what I was looking for there.

Refuse to shop online unless absolutely necessary when it comes to action figures. Prefer to see them in hand before purchasing.
I understand. "Collectables" need to be hand picked.
I am loath to buy food online for the same reason. I squeeze my own tomatoes, thank you.
Toys though... eh. So long as they are not broken right out of the box.

It's a weird thing for me, one that is quite irrational that I can't completely overcome. I want to hold it in hands, see it in person, etc. before I make the decision. So, it's one thing if I have seen the figure before in person, like say a friend has it, then I might purchase it online with a little more confidence. But, if it's brand new then I prefer to see it first.
It's a weird place for me that I haven't quite overcome. I do appreciate the link, but I just have less trust in online ordering. But, that comes from ordering building supplies online and not getting them because the store's inventory was off. That hurt.
I get that, but, if it helps, if online is the only option for acquiring an item, you could try one and if it's unacceptable, return for replacement or refund.
As many times as you want or need to be happy. 100% satisfaction is usually an online shopping feature as much (or more) as shopping in person.
Crap,
now I sound like a damn salesman. I am out.

I'm a ten year retail veteran and have little issue with returns. I also have no desire to repeat it until I'm satisfied. I'm more satisfied not worrying about getting an item I clearly don't need.
Not surprising at all.
Would've been great for these to be out in time for Christmas.
yeah, it makes sense to try and get them all out at once. I mean there is still no sign of Rok.
I wonder will we get DS9 figures at some point?
If the line does well I would say yes.
