Just found out about these figures from seeing the BBTS preorders, had to come here to see what the discussion on'em was like. Nice to see a lot of good people still hanging out here, certainly some things never change.
From what's been noticeable so far the figures look pretty good, and I was very surprised to see they're articulated and coming with numerous accessories. For $20 I was expecting something like the 7" statues that they switched to for The Walking Dead. But I'm definitely on the fence about collecting them as it's hard to imagine them making the entire crews. It would certainly be nice to see since I've been waiting for a line of Trek figures where the eras are the same scale. At this point I'd at least be pleased to see a Sisko and Janeway wave to round out the Captains.
I would like for DST keep the license for the ships and roleplay of classic Trek though. I'm still hoping for them to make the Enterprise-C and finish the lineage.

It seems like such an obvious strategy to start by making a set of Captains, especially if you don't want to commit to making every character... but we didn't even get all 5 out of DST/AA. Heck I'd love a "Captains an Admirals" line.
I still like the their Role play and I think people still like the ships... they are just so slow!

Id like to see DST actually DO something with their licence but honestly I have zero space for more large scale ships. Id like to see them get the Borg drone out and the TNG phaser and then to begin production on figures from the Abrams movies - full range of articulation and streamlined packaging; not the select style of box.

I really hope we get a Janeway as part of McFarlane's line.
Speaking of McFarlane.. I got Eleven from the Stranger Things line last week, and overall I'm pretty happy. The digital printing on the face does look a little lo-res really close up, but I think she looks pretty great personally. Not as good as Jareth's paint, though. Her articulation is limited by her skirt, but you can get her into some cool poses. I will say, as much as I like her alt hands, changing them out was too worrying a process to me. I mean, at some point I might get the dryer out and soften the hands and see how that works, but the holes in her hand seem like they've filled in with paint or something as they just seem too small for the pegs.

I think they will do great with Star Trek. Although I'm sure there will be a few that will complain about them no matter how they turn out. Lol.

Yeah, I'm kind of thinking these were produced before Jareth, too. Not only is Jareth's face paint pretty much perfect (I didn't even realize it was digitally printed until someone told me so... it's not as obvious at all) and his articulation scheme doesn't include the pins seen on Hopper. Hopefully that's all further improved by the time they get to the Star Trek figures. The way Hopper's crotch is broken up looks weird from the pics I've seen. I'm hoping they find a way around that while still having the mobility.

From London Toy Fair, a first look at the packaging of the Trek figures. There were no figures there (hopefully we see those at NY Toy Fair) but the packaging mock-ups were. I'm a TINY bit worried that T'Kuvma isn't mentioned. I hope he was't cut.

I like the look of that Phaser! I can't wait to get it to compare with the Anovos high end version.

Id rather TKuvma was cut in favour of a more prominent character from Discovery. I really hope that they dont just focus on TOS and TNG and they do mix it up with DS9 and Voyager characters at least.

I'm very enthusiastic about the 7" articulated figures that McFarlane is doing. I hope they will maybe have a TOS Spock to go with the Kirk and also Sisko (Season 3 uniform), Janeway, Data etc.

I'm assuming they listed T'Kuvma when they made the announcement because he featured so heavily in the Discovery promos. My guess is, if they weren't too far along, that if they're still doing a Klingon they'll aim more for Voq or L'Rell. Saru would also be very welcome.

I'm all for swapping T'Kuvma out for Saru or L'Rell or someone. I just don't want Michael to be the ONLY figure out at launch.

Completely agree, but there doesn't seem to be anyone around any more who has the power to do this (thus why I made the thread regarding moderators ages ago).
FHC hasn't visited since September last year: http://www.trektoy.c....php?showuser=1

EDIT: Here's the entire moderation team for the forum, and FHC is the latest visitor by a large margin! lol
