It would be cool if the Generations sailor crew each come with parts of the sailing ship - Worf has the plank and Geordi the arch, so maybe Troi has the wheel, Riker has part of the mast, etc.

Like the TMP figs had V'Ger parts

yet another guy had the GEN D with battle damage in a worn and dirty box, but fine and packed inside, stickers still on the sheet, manual still sealed, and most importantly, the stand was in there! So I got it (for 10) just for the stand which will let my old original one finally go on proper display after >30 years. Might hang the GEN one from the ceiling so I can only see the undamaged bottom. Or I might try to paint over the scorch marks... but the ship is just a bonus, the stand is the hightlight, and I can keep the pristine sticker sheet to replace any that peel off too much on my 92 D.

I've now tried to simply remove the scorch marks instead of paining over them, since they looked just sprayed on. I've used ethanol (0 effect), isopropanol (0 effect), acetone (immediate effect, but smears it around), with regular tissue paper and q-tips. What's the best way to do this? The underlying plastic color seems unaffected, only the escape pods lose their gray paint as well, but that can be restored. The black paint also went into the shield grid and window indentations, giving it a nice unintended wash. I'd just like to make the flat hull parts between the lines evenly default gray as the plastic itself originally was. I also noticed that the treated areas are more shiny now, but that doesn't matter as much.

Gosh. If only those scorch marks looked like they did on the packaging instead of being straight lines that make no sense. When Diamond Select did battle damage versions of their ships, it was AWESOME!

I loved those toys back in the 1990s. I accidentally destroyed a Data when very young kid me was practicing with my slingshot and decided (with dumb kid brain) to use my toys instead of pinecones. It only took the one time to learn how fragile their chests were.

Do the dolphins have a higher rank than Ensign Harry Kim?

Is the bottlenose with the articulated jaw a repaint of the Darwin figure from Seaquest?

I spot at least 3 Uhura’s (1 as an Andorian) a Sulu, 4 or 5 Dax’s, The Doctor and Ray, Winston and Peter from The Real Ghostbusters.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Not gonna lie, the one I'd want the most of those is the Riker without the ripped shirt.

That and/or Data without the opening circuitry panels.

So... the 2022 one.

But those figures were the wrong size and had the wrong proportions to fit into my existing Playmates Trek collection.

How about impaled threw the back Wesley?

The first wave of Nacelle figures popped up on an Amazon today for pre-order. Delivery date is 12/4/25. Hopefully we get them a bit earlier than that if we ordered directly from Nacelle.

We get a glimpse of the nifty looking packaging in the listings too.

Do you have a link? I searched on Amazon and didn't find them.

This is the link I followed on Twitter. It looks like all the figures are unavailable to order but the listings are still there. Dunno if they already sold out or if nacelle pulled them.

New look at Nacelle Wave 2 T’Pol and Bem. Hopefully these go up for pre-order soon. The T’Pol face sculpt looks a bit off.

Bem looks amazing! The attention to detail is great, even in the accessories - they are the TAS phasers with the trigger button on top and the grey body.
