Voayger figures
- Thread starter Nick086
- Start date
From my own collection & memory, they made action figures for -
Janeway
Chakotay
Chakotay as a Maquis
Tuvok
Torres
Torres as a Klingon
Paris
Paris as an Evolved Humanoid
Harry
Harry and Species 8472
Neelix
Neelix as a Security Officer (Spencer's Exclusive)
The EMH
Kes
Seven of Nine as a Partial Drone
Seven of Nine (Target Exclusive, I think)
Joe Carey
Seska
Seska as a Cardassian
A Kazon
A Swarm Alien
Barcley
Borg Queen (I think this was an Alice Krige, though)
I think part of the problem was that the crew never changed much - no uniform variations, for starters. Another part may be the loss of the Playmates contract for Star Trek action figures durin' or shortly after the show's run.
As for why there aren't many VOY figures from the folks whoever has the contract now, I have no clue, but I for one was not thrilled with the Odo figure I bought since the back of his uniform was all messed up.

I think it depends when the figures are produced. Since Voyager came third, the toy line was starting to run out of steam so they only caught the tail edge - and this has happened twice now.
The movies had the same problem. Until DST did TWoK figures a couple of years ago there were few figures from that era too. Mego did some TMP figures (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Decker, Ilia, Scotty and a few aliens) in the seventies, plus Playmates did the main crew from TMP (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Ilia Probe, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, Chekov - not sure about Decker but defo no Chapel, Rand, or DiFalco) in the nineties. There were almost no TWoK movie era figures from Playmates (Saavik, plus Kirk, Chekov, & Scotty from Generations).
The same thing has happened with DST Voyager figures too. They did the main DS9 figures but found a lack of interest if you can believe it in doing a borg wave including Seven of Nine. They felt that if there was insufficient interest in the borg and Seven then the rest of the Voyager crew were a waste of time!

Ah, the Playmates figures. I collected those fairly religiously - I even have some of the special lines, like a Cadet Riker and Troi figure. I remember never being able to get a Torres figure, at least not the regular Torres - I have a 'full Klingon' B'Elanna figure, but not the standard issue version.
The lack of figures was likely was due to the toy line dying out right around Voyager's midpoint. The last Playmates figure I can remember getting was a Seven in the silver catsuit that she wore in promotionals.

This is true. I don't remember there being all that many VOY toys in the stores around my house. I always wanted the Playmates Voyager. Lack of funds and being 13 years old back then was a problem too.
You missed Seven in silver catsuit
Seven in purple catsuit (Wizard Toyfare/Entertainment Earth exclusive)
Janeway from "Flashback" (Toyfare(?)exclusive)
Vidiian
The Borg Queen wasn't part of the Voyager line.
Playmates also made 9inch dolls of the crew, except the shorter ones like Neelix & Kes.
Are you sure?
I was the manager of a KB Toys for 6 years during that period, the smaller figures were never that high in price. The 9 inch dolls were. Seven only came as partial Borg in the smaller action figures.
I agree.^
Damn! Can't believe I forgot the Vidiian, especially since I have one! Geez...
And I think I saw the Flashback Janeway once, but the guy wanted too much money for it. And I'd rather have Flashback Tuvok, anyway, but they didn't make one.
A "Flashback" Tuvok would have been way better.
They way either put him with Voyager AND older TOS figures and Sulu's crewmen. It gives the figure more play value.
Also if you're good at art and sculpting, using a Swarm alien body & Tosk head.
A little midnight blue paint, some super-sculpty.
You can create a Hirogen figure.
That's what I did.
Mutant Tom Paris head & Kirk from "Tholian Web" body creates a Malon too.
Really? I remember KB Toys action figures were always expensive, but the figure inside the package were always in mint condition along with the package. I remember I had ten dollars, I couldn't afford to buy the figure.
