I hate to say what Ensign Ro appears to be doing to herself at the Helm station.


You naughty Vulcan! biggrin.gif

Even the later Voyager figures with the added thigh articulation still had massive leg spreads going on. I'm glad they ditched the V crotches.

I've since lost the connector pieces to the tops of the walls, but, some masking tape holds her together well enough.


Welcome aboard Kyle & great shots.

I tried my damn hardest not to lose those connector things, but it seemed one would disappear every year & now I'm left with none.

I don't find them to be necessary at all though. The Bridge still works & looks fine without them.

I love Pulaski shooting daggers at Bev. happy.gif
Reminds me of my DS9 group shot with the Hunter & Tosk glaring at each other:

I'm not sure if they were exclusives. They were both in Warp Factor 4 from Playmates last year of releases (I think)

No they weren't exclusives.....The "chase figure" that came out of that set was the Intendant Kira, but Warp Factor 4 was a general release. They were found in the Bargain bin at the old KB Toys Stores for quite some time, along with Trelaine and Andorian. It wasn't a too popular wave.

Warp Factor 5 was the last general release of 5 inch figures.

That's right they were! Thing is I never found any of those back then.

Hence my new found surprise.

Just an fyi on those figures though....they're some of the worst figures PM put out. They were in that "squat stance" pose and had few POA than previous releases. I hated my Keiko so much that I had to customize her by adding different legs and arms to add back the lost POA.

Yep these last few Warp Factor figures had stances more in common with Playmates' TMNT figures. Still, I am glad we got a Keiko...

They say from a collectors standpoint now, that if you take something out of the box to remove the batteries and put it back in it is still considered MIB because you are preserving the life of the toy.

My PM Klingon Vor'Cha Class ship had the batteries leak and messed it all up.

I've had a good number of toys ruined by leaked batteries---and not the krap batteries that comes with them from China, but krap batteries like Duracell and EverReady. But I can't help it, I need the batteries in all toys, so I can play with them on a whim. Happy now, cry later. roflmao.gif

Take care with battery operated toys.

I regularly use Energizer Lithium batteries.
