Geeze these things are ugly, sad to see something that used to be so cool turn dumbed down to such an extent.

OK. lets be real here for a minute. The old DST figures are nice and all but you cant get a decent natural looking action pose out of them for anything. So lets not start trying to call out the new ones because you don't like pre posed legs. At least when AA did the first TOS figures they put in thigh cuts and swivels at the boots along with torso articulation so you can get a better pose but with the DST stuff you are pretty much stuck with a standing straight up pose. I guess that is great for a either a standing group shot or a transporter display but not much of anything else. I like them but I also like the new ones too. I say we give them a chance. If you absolutely don't like them then don't buy them. These have articulation and no matter how people may define them to themselves these are still action figures.

I say instead of complaining about what you don't want. Since we know this is the direction they are going lets talk about what figures and bases we would like to see from throughout Trek. These have a lot of potential to be something cool.

We know we will get at least one Kirk and Spock a year which will probably pay for the other figures so who do you want to see? What version of Kirk or Spock would you like to see?

Maybe a two part guardian of forever base that each half comes with Kirk and Spock or McCoy.

Nazi uniform Kirk and Spock

Gangster Kirk and Spock
A proper TWOK Spock death scene Kirk and Spock

And for the rest how about: Janeway and the head of the borg queen being lowered to a static body
7 or 9 in her Alcove.

Sisko and Dukat fighting with a cave display

Picard and an injured Dathon with a camp fire base

Quark and a section of his bar with a static Morn on a bar stool

This is supposed to be a fun hobby for us. Lets have fun with it. Just because this is an internet forum does not mean we always have to argue and complain about everything.


I was and am being "real". To "me" they are not action figures so I won't be buying them. For anyone who does like them then by all means ENJOY. My dislike for this direction is actually a positive for me since I don't have any feeling or "pull" to buy them, thus saving me money. It is also a positive for those who collect since they will be getting items they like. So I'm not sure if your comment was directed to me fully but I don't believe my comments are sucking the air out of any one's balloon.

eh for me an action figure is supposed to be able to display...action. Action meaning movement and poseability. These are statues and although they look nice and I always like to see Star Trek succeed (unless it was Abrams version of Star Trek) I just can't spend my money on these. I don't like preposed figures and that was my main reason for getting out of Playmates Trek back in the day. I also don't believe in spending more money to get less on my figures. Yes we are getting display bases but the bae is not an action figure. I expect figures to be able to be posed and when they can't, I don't care how nice it may be I won't be spending my money there.
