not sure I like these figures, good for my wallet...
Picard looks like Piccolo (well some anime character, with those eyebrows)
Data looks like his head is too big
Worf looks a bit more like Alexander, his head is too small! maybe he is just back more then the others... :S

Actually I love the Picard. Data looks a little to... soft and Worfs head is definitely to small.

I'm considering picking these guys up, and then replacing the heads with the ones from the old 12" model kits...anyone remember those? I seem to remember they were pretty good.

Picard: Angry face
Data: Sad and/or frightened face
Worf: Surprised!

Data: (scooping up Spot from the table) "Captain, Worf was about to eat Spot!"
Picard: "Worf!" (aiming phaser) "Put down that fork immediately!"
Worf: "On Melmac, it is dishonorable to waste good food."

Well... 2 out of 3, Worf looks to be back ordered.

Is anyone getting them?

I'm certainly interested to know how they came out!

Hmmmmm



Bit strange that the front of the packaging says 'Action Figure' instead of the characters name.

I do not like that packaging. Not at all. especially for a figure that cost $80+

Hard to see the sculpt in the package like that, so i'm still interested to see actual production photos from someone that bought one...

HE looks a bit more like Goku, or someone from Dragon Ball...

I actually like them, the package is the same for all three but easy for reuse:





The use of the three empty empty pacakages:

I think they'd be great for 1/3 of the price. Data and Picard are okay but I am not feeling Worf's sculpt at all, nor the riding-up tops.

I said elsewhere that they remind me of Diamond's 12" Stargate and 24 figures.

I bought them. Yes, they're overpriced. The bodies and sculpts are BAD. The accessories and uniforms are pretty good though. I took the heads from the old model kits and bashed my own TNG set...when I get a sec I'll take pics for you guys.

Yeesh, glad I didn't get those. They're terrible looking! I see the accessories come with a phaser holster, and a tricorder holster, do those clip onto the pants or shirts in some fashion?

Another fail. They have some double-sided tape on them that sticks for oh, about 30 seconds.

Boy that's not a really good endorsement...

Thanks Capn, I was looking for some different reviews, as they don't really look that great to me... I remember seeing the portotype Gentle Giant did years ago of Picard, and it was really amazing, but they never released it and this one doesn't look nearly as nice.

those look disappointing. I might think about getting them at $20 each, but thats about it. I imagine i would pay more for a Spock though.

I'd buy them if they make a Bev, but I can't see these 3 selling well enough to get the whole crew made.

So is that Worfs season 4/5 hair or does he have a ponytail?

Well, I guess Picard and Data are arguable the most popular characters from TNG, thus it makes sense that they were done.

I was really contemplating the Picard, as I could see myself collecting a set of really wel done Star Trek Captains in 1/6 scale, but this is not the right product for me.

Personally I love what Dragon does with Military figures, and this is a departure for them, I don't think its their forte. I wonder if we can petition Hot Toys to do a set of Captains?
