Nothing to get excited about, but I'm glad people are still trying for these:

Haha, those look great! I love the seventiesification of the packaging design - very kitsch!

It does seem to hint at a Data and a Klingon figure to come from them!

With Data and the Klingon on the front of the card, they'd have to have a death-by-fan-rage wish to not make them. Could it be that with this and several other of the upcoming products that DST finally decided they want my money again?

Ooohhhh, I haven't even see those MOC images! Very nice.

Probably won't buy them. I'm more of a 'full crew' guy. I'd say there's not a chance in hell of finishing the main 7.

Welp, I finally reeled the Borg & Picard in. Pretty nice! Now, where are Data and Klingon???? Also Picard's hair seems a bit strange for some reason, but I love his comm badge. Hope it's not glued on precariously like some of the TOS badges were (had one of those fall off). Uniform is also nice...my Picard needs to do the Starfleet uniform pull-down. Pictures did not seem to do the Borg justice.

I saw the TNG figures on card in reality recently. I was rather impressed by the quality of Picard's uniform.

I did just notice that he has no rank pips on the collar (it stands out when they are fairly prominent on his card headshot illustration right next to him), which at first you might think would be too fine a detail for these, but then looking at the Mirror Kirk/Spock which I also just got, they have some pretty fine insignia detail laminated onto their uniforms. A person could fix that easily enough with some puffy paint or something.

He's also lacking the phaser he's pictured holding on the back of the box.

I might have bought him if not for that... but still, he's pretty expensive, and I'm not much into figures.

I am tempted by these guys as I got some of the retro Doctor Who and BSG stuff. But the lack of phaser is annoying, and I don't trust DST to keep the line going forward. So it makes it hard to get into the line.

Hey all,

Firstly, I have all of these that DST have re-released (as well as the original Gorn and Neptunian that haven't been done.)

I do love these, however I am a little upset that the complete crews haven't been done. So much so that I'm currently trying to fill out the gaps myself.

I do have a request though, does anyone have a scan of the Pike or Salt Vampire backing cards? I'm thinking of starting with Chapel and Vina however I need the backing card for display purposes.

Any help would be appreciated. (Hope it's ok to post this request here......?)

Take care,
Matty-lad

Seems the Retro line is coming back. Dare we hope to see the missing ladies?

The SDCC packaging may be a hint...

Doubt you'll see anything new. They probably have too much old stock left they need to get rid of. It would be nice but since we've had a lack of new stuff for the 50th anniversary announced I don't see them doing new retro figures.

In an article about SDCC's Trek presence, startrek.com referred to DST's "...returning range of Retro-style 8” action figures."  Sounds like a comeback is in the cards.

There is no old stock. We've been sold out of Retro Star Trek for years. Even the last two assortments, Pike/Salt and Picard/Borg, went fast. What you saw in the display case at SDCC was it. Our archival copies.

 

We're doing new production runs on almost everything, including the playset. We may even see a new crew member and alien, but we'll see.

I see there is talk on Previews that Kirk and Klingon are coming up first, followed by Spock and Kahn.
I would think they would be nicer, if they came with alternative clothing, to differentiate them from the others. Or Kirk could have the Twilight Zone head, repainted or Klingon with updated uniform I'm glad that Kahn is out in regular release, I guess I can open one now.
It would be nice to get a new Bele the Cheron, since the Gorn was replaced. And they never did a Talos nor Neptunian.
The Klingon is all over eBay, both the original and the EMCE figure so I hope he sells enough to continue sales.
Thanks DST, hope I can help the sales

So..........just wondering if anybody knows what's up with the alleged 50th anniversary line of retros.

 

There was supposed to be (beginning in "spring"):

  • Reissued bridge playset
  • Spock/Khan reissue 2 pack
  • NEW Reverse Cheron/Redshirt 2 pack
  • Possible Gorn/Sulu reissue 2 pack??? (I saw this on a blog but I think they were wrong, though there's a product page on EE claiming Sold Out with fairly recent comments on it)

The bridge shows "temporarily out of stock" on EE.  The only one of these I have on preorder is Cheron/Redshirt, at BBTS, which has just been getting pushed further and further out all year long.

 

Are they happening, or aren't they?  Did some of them like the bridge come out already?  I have everything released before 2016...  To be honest I'm not a huge fan of them.  They're too large, is my main problem, but they're also expensive, probably impossible to pose (I haven't opened mine), and just not that interesting looking.  Back then, all I collected seriously was Trek, and I had a lot of empty space in my home to fill, so I went all in on all new Trek, hence I ended up with a complete set.  So, of course that means I have to get the two new figures, if I can...
