Yeah I'm in the same boat. They've been dragging their feet on these for so long I would be happy if we got the main 7 just in their red uniforms. Of course I'ld love all of the other variations everyone has mentioend but I'd be thrilled with
Star Trek movies, untapped resource?

Hopefully they'll also add in secondayr/guest characters and some adversaries and aliens to the mix as well. I think that would be the only real concern.

For Spock we could have red uniform, white robe from Trek IV, his black one from II, maybe even his commando uniform from V.
Villians there could be Khan, Krudge, Chang, Valeris to just name a few.
Definatley a lot of potential here I just don't know if the retail buyers are savey enought to realize it.

Something to look forward to....
Along with my Nurse Chapel figures!
I did not hear about AA planning the TWOK figures! That would have been nice to see.
Lousy AA running the line into the ground!!

They would all be awesome.
Are we thinking we will see Classic figures after they finish DS9,Voyager & Enterprise?
That would be a long time to wait...
I'm interested in this ST5 assault gear! I'll have to check that out. We're just about up to ST5 in the TV1 Trek marathon.

This way if they are unsure about devoting a year of revenue to Voyager and/or Classic Trek they can add in some other characters here or there that they feel are more established. Considering how many Trek and non-Trek fans want classic movie characters I think that line will pretty much be a slam dunk.

I also agree that a Legacy line would be the best way to get a Phlox and Hoshi as well as many other secondary, supporting, and guest characters from the series and movies.

I thought she did the whole first season. Well there you go.
Why did they fire her if you don't mind my asking?
The official reason is that she (the character) had a crush on Kirk and he knew it. Dramatically speaking, if Kirk stayed a "ladies man" some viewers might consider that deliberately hirting Rand and therefor might find Kirk unsympathetic. And if Kirk stopped being a ladies man, he would not be a worthy leading character (hey, it was the 1960's). So Rand had to go.
Unofficially, Grace Lee Whitney had two addictions. One was to alcohol and the other one was to the things a man and a woman can do together, usually in a bed. That made her a loose canon on deck.
I also read somewhere (I don't know if it is true) that one night a man with a lot of power at either Desilu or NBC and Whitney got drunk together. He, as the story goes, became violent and almost took her by force when she refused. That man the next day used all his power to get her off the show. I repeat I don't know if any of this is true.
About the figures.
Yes, I would like some TWOK-TSFS-TVH-TFF-TUC figures (in uniform please, no civies). But about the format, I have been out of it for a while. Can someone enlighten me about the change of format? What's the difference between the old TOS format and the new TNG format? How about someone posting a picture with a figure of both formats next to each other?
I still hope they will eventuly return to the 1990's 9" clothed figures format.

The new TNG figures are considerably larger than the AA TOS figures and even the Nemesis and Enterprise figures. The size is in line with the Borg Assimilation figures, although slightly smaller. They are actually similar in size to the Mego 8" TOS figures.

Just kidding Bernsie
The difference is in the over all style of the figures. The TNG figures are more solid and the scale is just slightly bigger. If you put Kirk next to Picard Kirk looks like a mid teens child. I will try and get some pics up later.
