Star Trek

So glad I stuck to my "no women, no purchase" rule.

'Cause, 'cause, 'cause I remember when we used to sit
In the action figure aisle in Target
Oba, observing the collectors, yeah
Mingle with the good stock workers we meet, yeah
Good toys we have had, oh good toys we've lost along the way, yeah
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say, yeah

 

[Fletch]

Oh dang. Dr. McCoy comes with a full biobed!

Also a sneak peek at the lift entry with an odd variety of dedication plaques.

I'm willing to assume these are all screen accurate. "Starship Class" sounds like exactly the kind of label Enterprise would have at the start of Season 1.

That's impressive. Am I going to need to buy like 3 McCoys now?

I told them, if they continue to work on the face technology, this will be the greatest Trek line ever

 

[Schizm]

And was that advice well-received? Because if they keep selling fantastic renders and churning out the slop they churned out, it's about to become false advertising.

Have they taken the warning and switched factories?

They simply said that they were definitely continuing the effort to improve. They also just announced that series 2 has been delayed to Q4. Hopefully that means a new factory.

Was this at a panel or something? More than face paint, I would hope someone would ask them if the figures can sit at their bridge stations.

agreed!

Should be since that is what they did right? Just plop a new plaque on the wall and you have another starship.

I have to say this really has become such an impressive line and shows how a fan with love for a brand can, somewhat, responsibly put out product that fans want (need? ).

As others have said I hope he can get the problems worked out with the actual product and that it can continue for some time. My biggest worry is just the fanbase. Star Trek seems like one of those properties that has been having diminishing returns for years now and while I can appreciate the love Nacelle is putting into the line I don't know if there will be enough interest for long term survival.

Nah, I asked Brian over on IG. He is very receptive and engaging with the fans.

 

[Gothneo]

Overall it's really hard to be completely disappointed by their first effort. I finally opened Tuvix today... and overall, I'd say its a good figure. the sculpt and paint are decent on this figure and of course the accessories and body are pretty spot on.

I think the head sculpts are all there.. except for Archer... thats the one sculpt miss., even the mockup is off. the paint on the uniformed figures is just ok... The worst paint by far is Valkris... When you look at the picture on the box vs what we got that one isn't even close!. But the Capt Sulu is a clear improvement over my simple DST kit bash, and a very fun figure with his tea cup and while I love the accessories, I dont think there's a real need for fists... save the money and put it in paint apps... assuming every little bit helps!

I have to say... with accessories like a full med bed, while I might scale back on wave 2, I'll be all in on wave 3.

 

[Schizm]

The Med Bay IS awesome - but it raises an issue for me. I have most of my non-Playmates Trek figs hanging on the wall for space reasons - if they are just going to stand, they look great in their boxes. But Nacelle's boxes are multiples shapes and sizes and there's no way they'll ever look uniform together in box.

These are action figures, I know, but McCoy is not going to look good next to Uhura - like how Valkyris can't display next to Sulu.

Has anyone taken a shot of all eight boxed final figures? Is it seven that match and then Valkyris? Does anyone else care about this?

 

[Gothneo]

Is it seven that match and then Valkyris? Does anyone else care about this?

Yes. the 7 match and Valkris is oversized.

like how Valkyris can't display next to Sulu.

ya say that... but like you do to limits in my display shelves she pretty much is... but Sulu is out front, while Valkris is back behind... not what I'd like but it is what it is.

But you bring up a good point which is with accessories like Holo Deck Arches, Horses, Genesis Devices, Med Beds, Romulan Consoles... and an entire bridge... I will need to rethink my entire Trek Display. It's just asking for complete dioramas to be done.

*sigh* I all ready have tons of stuff still in storage I might need to build another ADU.
