I have about three of these. One is a YSK 3" mate, but the coolest thing about him was the plastic all-round transparent tube he came in. I wish the 7" action figures came in these instead of being carded.
And, yeah, my sister bought him for me...as a joke!

I actually got a couple of the marvel one (the first releases) and had picked up the 3" Trek ones. (Kirk Spock McCoy and the Gorn) but after the trek minimates got caned I lost interest and started collecting other figures to fill the void between Trek releases as they were few and far between.
Now if these has been in the 3" scale as the past release I would have through twice as I could have continued the line I had started.

Personally I hated 3" as they were never particularly mini

I don't have to tell you though that the Trek Crowd is not the same as the minimate crowd. On the average, we are talking a group that played with 12" G.I. Joe (in the 70's) when they were kids. The 2" just look silly to me. I bought a Spiderman from ebay once just to see one and I was so disappointed that it was small enough to loose in the couch in 20 seconds that I never bought anymore. I have all of the Trek stuff so far and I doubt that I will hold fast to not buying these. Still, collectors have yelled for years about how Playmates, and some others, have changed sizes at will making the older, or newer, stuff look wrong grouped together. I don't open the packages so this has no effect on me, but those that do, well guess you are just going to have some of those MONSTER 3" in the background in your photos.

There's obviously some crossover between the two.
I don't think this is the same. The 3" line really never got off the ground. Playmates switching sizes after 100 figures isn't comparable, IMO.
I've got a few of the 3" figures, Trek, Bruce Lee, & CTHD. But I'm looking forward to adding these 2" 'Mates to my DC, Marvel, Street Fighter, misc., and Galactica 'Mates. (Today, I got the Cylon Centurion from the original BSG. It's awesome.)

All I can say about that is....if you collect toys, you collect toys. Don't forget that.

I have the entire line of AA waves 1-3 including the Exclusives.
Me, I do not consider them "Action Figures" so if they were TOS (Which is the only Genre I collect) I still would not purchase them due to the design and size.

Yeah, going to go with Dan on this one, I'm kind of glad that these will be in the 2" scale and will fit in with my Marvel and DC Minimates(C3) While I can understand why DST wants DCD to stick to the 2" scale, I'm glad their taking a chance and making Mates in various scales for their various heroes and villains. But I'm definately looking forward to seeing more actual prototypes of the Trek Mates after Toy Fair Now something some of us have to keep in mind, not everyone is singular in their collecting, I'm personally all over the place when it comes to my collection I was going through my collection recently and discovered that it was Star Wars, Batman and Marvel Legends dominating my collection, not Star Trek

Then I must have everyone else so she is not lonely on the shelf.
Action figures, Minimates....both awesome to me. And the Minimates are soo cute
If I had to choose one it would be the proper action figures...all the way. But I sure don't mind a bit of variety.
Still have my fingers crossed Sideshow will start on some nice 12" figures (Not Premiums...grrrr).
Just look at the little guys!
