Playmates Toys

[Paul755]

it is encouraging though that there is no problem doing figures from an animated show. It means we should…in theory get at least Mariner, Tendi, Rutherford and Boimler if the line sticks around.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

GIVE ME LOWER DECKS FIGURES! I neeeeeds it.

 

[Jesse1066]

I hope they announce a Drednok toy soon. He looks like he was designed to sell toys, but his figure would be a bit more complex than the usual humanoids.

 

[publiusr]

Zartan won’t allow it

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Show me the Murfandise!!!

 

[Markonian]

Was anything announced at Mission Chicago?

 

[Tomalak]

I don't think Playmates were there sadly.

Murf will still be coddled by collectors long after ten million Grogus continue to perch unclaimed on the shelves of charity thrift shops.

If so my youngest will buy them all.

Hmm, Q promises "environments". Does that mean playsets?

I hope so. I'd love to see a re-release of the TNG bridge and finally get the engineering set released. Heck I'd love to see bridge playsets for all the figure series'.

I hope we get all the series' characters in all the uniform variations we've seen them in. Basically I want to see TOS and TMP versions released too. Same with TNG films, both DS9, etc.

If they bring the bridge back, hopefully they'll fix the doors. Those things always jammed.

I hope so. I'd love to see a re-release of the TNG bridge and finally get the engineering set released.

Wait, I thought they did release engineering? I never had any of the playsets, alas, but I swear one of my friends had it...

They did for Generations.

 

[Paul755]

Yeah, I still have the engineering set. It’s kinda small but cool.

I’d rather we get the TOS bridge that was never released before we get a re-release of the TNG bridge.

 

[Tomalak]

The TNG bridge is totally awesome but could be improved further. I always wanted swappable viewscreens instead of that Romulan Warbird!

But I doubt we'll get proper playsets. I'm not sure the toy market really does them in a big way now, even the Star Wars line which is much more established. IIRC they use crowdfunding for big playsets.

I concur!

Nice to see the original TOS Connie again, buuuut truth be told, I’m more interested in ships not yet done by Playmates.

[saddestmoon also taps foot patiently]

They did and I had it... cannot remember when it was released, but the warp core was awesome, and it looked and sounded great. Only complaint were the "futuristic" ridiculously shaped chairs-of-the-future...

 

[Empok Nor Station Manager]

Oh yeah.... right there with ya.... I refuse to part with my Defiant or Ent-D playmates from the 90's...

 

[Kevman7987]

I don't know why I thought engineering was never released. Brain fart I guess.

Looking closer at the figures on the website, did they change the hips? Or are those just prototype mockups with loosened hip joints? I'm only wondering because I never cared for the fact that the 90s figures had to sit all weirdly bow-legged. It just didn't look right when I sat my TOS Kirk on the captain's chair on the cardboard TOS bridge from that TOS crew collector's set. My stop motion adventures just look weird because of it.
