While the episode was great I am not sure I would buy this set. I wasn't really impressed with Kirk's dress uniform and besides to quote someone else on this forum - do we really need more Kirks on our toyshelves?

Yes... for me anyway since he is my favorite character in Star Trek. I agree thought that I always thought the dress uniforms really looked kind of cheap and I wasn't impressed with them when I was a kid either, but I'll be pickinig up the set since both figures look pretty nice to me.

I was really excited about this set untill they announced the TWOK movie figures and my thoughts turned straight to those. Now I doubt that I will pick this set up. With movie stuff coming I have no use for any more TOS unless it is something completely new and over the top.

Well, the only Kirk figure that I have currently is the Battle Damaged Kirk. I need another one! LOL. Plus, Khan looks awesome.

While I'll agree, we don't need another Kirk, this set is awesome and I plan on getting him. If anything, maybe this will convince DST to do Spock, McCoy and Scotty in dress uniform. Like Stormfury, I saw this episode this weekend and it made me look forward to it even more.

I like the dress uniform on Kirk and I think that's a very cool version of Khan. (especially considering how easy it would have been to do him in his red engineer's uniform) I'm not completely settled on getting it just yet. I was never as big into TOS as I was the more recent shows, but that is a very pretty Khan figure, so I may yet bite.

after cooling off about it a bit, I think I may wait and see the TWOK figures and see how satisfying those are before I go buying these

not counting color variants how many kirks do we actually have?
Green Kirk
Yellow Kirk
Pilot Kirk
Mirror Kirk (though i might label this as a completely different character)
Movie Kirk
Dress Kirk
Battle Damaged Kirk
seven kirks for the most recognizable star trek personality? i think thay may be just right. honestly I dont know how many more kirks they could come up with! Its aslo a shame that even with 7 kirks not one is shirtless!

Of course, you're forgetting that Movie Kirk comes in both the closed-jacket and open, bloody-jacket varieties...Dunno if you count that as another version, but I think that since there's a new sculpt on the jacket it might be...that makes it 8!

Well, you can make one or two other variants easy....just take an xacto knife and make a slice through BD Kirk's chest and you've got Amok Time Kirk.
As for shirtless Kirk, if you were to remove green shirt's tunic, what would it look like underneath? Would the articulation point in the abdominal area make it look weird?

The chest piece of the Green shirt and Mirror Kirk (which would be better due to bare arms) is only developed at the shoulder blades, the rest is a passable chest. The belly of the problem is that (pun intended) the abdomen region is not defined at all, and is infact black. If you have some skills you could probably make it with a Mirror Kirk (you really need the bare arms and joints), some Sculpty and a new coat of paint. I could post a pic of the parts on the custom thread later, but back on topic.
I will likely buy a set of Kirk and Khan, but then I am going to want a Spock for sure, and since they are making one, how about a McCoy and Scotty too. Make sure there is a Kilted Scotty, which is all we need, as we can switch up the legs to make a non-kilted too. Bottom line is that I would like Kirk, but I might want some extras for customizing, but what will I do with all the dress Khans, I can use the head, but the costume is unique

Definately grabbing this set....I really like the look of Khan. Not phased by Kirk.
How many more Kirks do we need I heard asked, well:
TMP with chair
Movie VI with chair
And ofcourse....SHIRTLESS...it's Kirk! I recall, as I'm sure you do Slayer, than many people requested shirtless figures of the men from Buffy/Angel....but DST would only do them with battle damage....which was fine with me. It's just nice to have some flesh on display.
They don't need to be flexing & winking at us
