SWEET! A human 7of9!
Come on DST, now just make me Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok, B'Elanna, Paris, Kim and Neelix and I'll be in heaven! smile.gif

And I dig the freshly assimilated starfleet guy too.

Sweeeet! I love Seven. Shame theres no Borg Queen. I wonder if this is the wave that DSTJen said woiuld be coming out first. The Borg Seven and The Drone look like the ones we've seen all along so I wonder where the Queen has gone?

Thought I'd add the photos for all to see.

I bet we could get several variants of Seven and that would make multiple alcoves a reality!

I can say with all certainty that I will get the Human 7of9. The rest I will have to wait and see. Those may be a pass for me.

Now,
Does anyone care to speculate when this series might see the light of day in stores/online? smile.gif

I am glad to see they gave 7 of 9 plenty of articulation.

In stores: Just in time for Christmas '13!

Well, these are quite early, but getting the "regular" 7 of 9 now gives us a Voyager Cast of "1" sad.gif

The reason I'm sad about that is that I doubt we'll ever see a full crew... even a S7 crew...

You can't call it a "Bridge Crew" because 7 wasn't really part of the bridge crew...

If I had to guess, I'd say we might see "The Dr.", a Janeway, and Maybe Tuvok and/or Chekote
. I really doubt we'll see the rest in any way, and that I think is sad because I'd love all of them!

I hope they'll bring on Star Trek Legacy figures like what Art Asylum was shooting for so over time we can see figures from all the shows. I wish they would have done that to start. Do a Captains wave, first officers wave, etc. Definately give us characters from all the shows including Enterprise.

I wonder if we might see a variant of Data with human flesh grafts from First Contact in this line. A Picard from his battle with the Borg Queen would be cool too!

I'd rather have Picard in his standard duty uniform, to go with the FC vest version, and the rest of the FC-Nemesis Crew.

I really, really like the Borgified Starfleet guy, but I don't like the gorilla arm too much.

Could be a pretty interesting way of doing a wave. biggrin.gif
-Notable character
-Random Drone
-Poor Bastard

I hope they make Hugh, Admiral Janeway and Species 8472.

...of course by they time they would be released I'd be too senile to remember who any of them were, and would probably want to spray the 8472 figure with raid...

Well I think thee line looks REALLY good! Especially the Human Seven, and the "Poor Bastard" (to quote Jedigreedo hehe). They are different figures....Playmates would have never made a freshly assimilated drone.

I agree, I think these look good.

At first glance I was worried that none but the 1/2 assimilated figure had any type of waist articulation, but the last shot of the normal 7 of 9 is deal maker for me!



Very nice! I think the mid-rif POA works perfectly for this figure and the pict just shows why you want it!

Oh and BTW, If they do a Janeway I'll get her for sure as it would round out all 5 capts!

7 looks alot better than I thought she would, also glad she's in this line rather than if they ever release individual VOY figures as it's one less unique character to worry about. She can just serve as a repaint to round out a potential wave. biggrin.gif

Now when I get one, I've got to figure out how to make that smoke none stop without setting the house on fire!
