Well I read this on another site...

Apparently Dragon Models, of which I have many military figures from, is jumping on the Star Trek Bandwagon!

TNG no less! I'm not sure about the Picard Sculpt... and the price is $120USD. Ouch!

But this is nice surprise! Def nice for people that may be interested in higher end stuff!

Oh WOW!!

That's really cool.

Picard looks like he's been eating a lemon, but the other two look good. Not sure I would have chosen that hairstyle for Worf...he looks much better with longer hair.

If we see a Beverly in this line I will die a happy collector. Though they kinda used all the big hitters in this set, so it may be the only one.

I dont like those facial sculpts. Are these supposed to be statues or clothed action figures?

[Gothneo]

Dragon Models makes 1/6 scaled action figures.

Typically military figures, but they will be clothed action figures.

It looks like all we are seeing are teasers, not even close to final product, so we'll have to keep an eye on Dragon to see what the final product looks like.

I find it encouraging, because it likely means we can expect to see some Hot Toys 1/6 scale figures, which are typically priced about the same, but are really worth every penny of $120 per figure.

[VulcanFanatic]

If they are quality figures with great likenesses and well talored clothing, and a appropriately proportional body, with a decent amount of accessories then $120.00 would be a decent price.

[JonWes]

Those likenesses aren't that great for the price point. I hope those are early protos. If they could approach something like the John Connor Hot Toys figure now THAT would be awesome.

[Gothneo]

I agree. Dragon has typically done unlicensed military figures, and they have done a great job with them, but the price point is typically around $40. $120 is steep, but like the picture says those are not the "Final Product". I'll wait to see what they do before I make any judgment on them.

Eh...

[New Frontier]

I really hope that they do Classic Trek. Although i would expect Hot Toys level of detail and quality if i'll be paying that for them!!

At the moment those faces look ridiculous lol.

Do you mean Hot Toys will produce Star Trek figures or do you mean we could see figures just as good as Hot Toy's because either way I'm sold if they turn out as good as Hot Toys figures

[New Frontier]

anyone heard anymore on these?

[New Frontier]

bump, anyone heard anything? i really want to get that Captain Picard figure!! Gentle Giant had one on display last year but I emailed them a while back and they said that it had been "postponed" so i'm not sure if we'll ever see that version but it would be ever so cool to have a 1 6th scale model of trek characters.

Does anyone else think these might be on display at SDCC this year???

bump, anyone heard anything?

Um....ewwww.

Picard and Data look "ok," though their suits are really bad. But what did they do to poor Worf?!!!

[sallah]

Ouch! those are pretty bad for 'high-end' figures...

Here's hoping Hot Toys gets classic trek....

Sallah

[JonWes]

Gosh, the clothes don't look much better than the outfits Playmates made all those years ago. The faces on Picard and Data aren't bad... Worf though just doesn't look like Worf at all.

[New Frontier]

Oh those are so disappointing.

I wish Gentle Giant would release their 12 inch Picard.

[New Frontier]

I hope these are just prototypes

[Jedigreedo]

Worf kinda looks more like Kruge

[BadBunnyMike]

That Worf is the worst worf sculpt I've ever seen...the Playmates 4.5" Looks better!

[New Frontier]

his medal band around his chest looks like that plastic binding you get round large parcels.
