Playmates Toys

[Tomalak]

Well I love that range, it's completely insane. Tuvix! Peter Preston! Weyoun!

 

[Paul755]

Yeah, the range and randomness are great. Really does put a lot of potential characters on the table.

Interested to see if Archer is in the TOS uniform as pictured or if they’ll go with his Mirror-verse Starfleet Uniform.

Jellico and Weyoun are the standouts to me.

But I guess seeing Captain Sulu and Mirror Archer means they really arent opposed to using main characters in different dress too.

 

[HotRod]

I want that Rachel Garrett!

 

[Paul755]

They do look very much like the DST/AA figures. Which is very good.

Hopefully the finished products look as good as the prototypes.

 

[Tomalak]

Yes, the three prototypes look excellent to me eyes.

I was a bit surprised there had never been a Captain Sulu figure, because it was such an easy custom to do with the Playmates figures!

Garrett is such a great idea I hadn't even thought of. There's the Section 31 tie-in there too.

 

[Paul755]

DST did do a “Commander” Sulu in the WoK line. But given how many exclusives they did, it is surprising a TUC version wasn’t done.

At least it gives hope for a “Generations” Kirk or Spock in the black Vulcan robes from TMP or even Disco Bones.

 

[Tomalak]

Disco Bones would be awesome! Exo-6 are doing him.

My niche choices would be Chapel and Rand from Voyage Home. Admiral Cartwright too! Instant Joseph Sisko custom.

 

[Admiral Archer]

I am so gonna buy Captain Sulu and Rachel Garrett for my Lost Era Bridge displays! I promise next year I'll share pictures, it's gonna be so cool!

 

[Daedalus]

Did anyone happen to learn if they'll come with accessories?

 

[Tomalak]

Did anyone happen to learn if they'll come with accessories?

They definitely will.

Preston comes with an alternate head apparently!

 

[CommanderTrip]

They definitely will.

Preston comes with an alternate head apparently!

I don't think he does, it's listed under "special feature". Looking at the other figures, I think this is more a tongue-in-cheek gag/nod than an actual accessory for each figure.

Special feature for Valkris is saying goodbye... lol Tuvix is a bit more practical, he gets a unique starfleet uniform.
Special features listed for the announced figures:

Preston - battle damaged head
Jellico- finger painting
Garrett - poorly played debris
Valkris - saying goodbye
Tuvox - unique starfleet uniform

Garrett - poorly played debris

That debris should have gone to acting school.

 

[Tosk]

Preston - battle damaged head
Jellico- finger painting
Garrett - poorly played debris
Valkris - saying goodbye
Tuvox - unique starfleet uniform

Weyoun: Sliminess
Archer: Champagne glass (with poison)

Ah, possibly my mistake for taking that too literally!

But they did say in the FAQ that each character comes with unique accessories. Have a look at their Expanse line for an idea. They will be very well-equipped.

I can't tell you how excited I am to see The Expanse get some love. Amos and Bobbi look great!

 

[Paul755]

I fully expect stuff like interchangeable hands, phasers, tricorders, etc… Weyoun will probably come with a Ketrecel White case, etc…

 

[Daedalus]

So, were they actually joking about Preston having a swappable head and chest piece? Some youtubers seem to be passing it on as legit.

 

[HotRod]

I gotta wonder..... would it be too morbid for Garrett to have a swappable head with the second one have having a peice of a VF-1 Valkyrie lodged into the forehead?

 

[drt]

It's cool that DST/AA fans can add to their collections, but I'm not convinced how economically viable this line is, but I guess releasing more Kirks and Spocks isn't really viable either, lol

 

[C.E. Evans]

It might be viable if these figures are sold at a high price point.
