It says in the article that this 'is a portent of good things yet to come!' I just wonder why they did not mention this at all ahead of time.
Now I have to figure out if I want DST 7" Classic Spock or Playmates 7" New Spock this spring....
What do you think?

That AA Spock has been hailed as the best of all the AA Star Trek figures in terms of sculpt, paint etc.
If you don't have one I'd say it's worth picking at least that one up!
Also, I love the AA TOS figures. Each has ~20 POA, which is about 4 more than DST has been putting in the new designs. The most important (IMO) is the use of a 'Hinge' pin instead of a ball & socket on the shoulder.
The hige pin gives such a wider range of motion and I really miss it on DST latest stuff.

.....and "lets give a round of applause" for the hinge pin!
Too bad its probably more cost effective to do the ball joint.

The newest news article on Trekmovie.com has an explanation for these: they are TRU exclusives. May or may not be found online. Should be found in Toys R Us VERY soon.

I would go with DST 7" Spock that is the real spock and regardless of that fact it will be probably overall much better detailed and sculpted then what Playmates will come out with, not to mention the articulation.

I'm also a bit saddened they didn't go with a sculpted shirt, but at least it saves me paying double the money!

I don't think their supposed to have them. They are being sold through other online stores so they don't seem to be exclusive.

Wait...they aren't exclusives? I thought they were... then why hasn't Rick or all the other comic stores had them up for presale then?

The only thing I am a MoC completist for is Trek.... so yeah, I did buy *one* of each. And they do not (as mentioned) have the Toys exclusive sticker, since they're not exclusives.

LOL, you beat me to the punch. He thinks that TRU had them commissioned so that they are exclusive to them =)
