In Topic: What's your favorite 4.5" Playmates figure?

27 August 2015 - 08:30 PM

The first lavender edition of Troi was one of the first figures I ever got as a kid (along with Season 2 Data), so that Troi was the start of it all for me really and will always be special for me.

 

But other favourites or ones I feel are highlights / essentials otherwise...

 

- Borg Queen (had a total geekgasm when I realised her head and shoulders came out. A nice touch to not advertise that and let people discover for themselves).

- Ilea (probe) is rather gorgeous.

- Beverly Crusher (Season 3 with lab coat - which was close to the actual blue of the original science officer's uniform's, rather than that irritating green they insisted on using for ALL SCIENCE OFFICERS EVER).

- Morn (the figure just makes me smile. No DS9 scenario would be complete without him loitering around.) 

- The Doctor / EMH (A great likeness)

- Worf (Late DS9 / Movie uniforms - brilliant mould and detail, and i think the only figure with accessories / weapons in actual original colours, rather than just naff generic coloured plastic. Infact... all the movie TNG editions with the grey shoulders. Troi & crusher's mould's could have been better, and it is still irritating they never did a Geordi - while I'll be attempting to custom make soon... but, I just love that range of the crew.)

- Species 8472 (looks far more "real" than the actual CGI version in the show. A fantastic unique spin for the whole toy range)

- Locutus (An all-round essential, awesome figure)

- Saavik (the mould is so good I just can't help but look at it and go "That's Kirstie Alley!")

- Janeway (flimsy figure and otherwise a bit unremarkable. But, great face mould... and, it's Janeway! I intend on making my own short, bobbed hair custom on a spare Janeway soon)

- Bashir (same as Janeway in that it's a bit of an unremarkable figure, but a great face mould)

- Sela (Amazing likeness)

- Seven Of Nine (silver catsuit and burgundy/plum exclusive editions - Just because. 

 

The half-borg Seven annoys me. It's no where near as detailed enough as her transitional phase look was, and it felt like a wasted opportunity in not doing the full drone of Seven instead (especially considering we see the full drone Seven in plenty of future flashback episodes). The full drone version will be another custom I'm going to attempt at some point.

Surely that is "officially" the rarest figure of them all now?


In Topic: Playmates Engineering playset problem

Potentially naive question, but how does the engineering playset attach to the Bridge playset?
