My only warning is you probably won't get those same feelings as you did back then. You might be able to get a little bit, because you can go into a comic book store and find them on peg. I just think some of the fire would be gone and you might not get that ol' Playmates rush back.

I am still collecting the Playmates line myself.
I have quite a few figures left to go, but I am getting there.
I was lucky enough to find a few people on these forums & Playtrek who wanted to sell off a lot of their Playmates collection.
I don't think anything could come to close to the feeling back in the day when the Playmates line was in it's early stages....but it's still a very warm & fuzzy feeling to finally own something you've been aiming at buying for the last 10 years!

I collect the AA ones but they just don't have that same feeling for me that the Playmates ones did as a kid. I think it was all about seeing those ads in the Star Trek magainze (What was that magazine in the early 90s???) with all the figures on that alien planet.. Then seeing the 2nd wave with the 1st season uniforms, that was awesome.

Hey Goro, where abouts are you? I may be able to help you out with some of these.

Just got that joke
Do you have
Asst. No. 6070 Series 2/3: Main crew of the Enterprise-D (old uniforms), Dr. Crusher, Scotty, Q
and possibly Crusher Duty Uniform, Captain Picard in Duty Uniform, Ensign Wesley Crusher Tasha Yar, Pulaski and the TNG crew in Generations/DS9 (first seasons) uniform?
Also Geordi La Forge (JG) (just realized he had a yellow 2nd season variant, which maybe they should have done originally season riker has a beard on his early season uniform figure)

I have every other backing card, package, sticker, card / pog, paint, clothing, variation that I am aware of. That covers the 4.5" to the 12" with the only ones I'm missing would be a complete set of the first run in the German packaging. I do have 3 so far.
here's one of interest maybe
This one has round belt holes
This one has slotted belt holes
you know some times I think I went overboard back in the day.

I was looking at some of your pages a while ago, I forgot where, and it showed a variation based on how the phaser was packed... to me now it seems like "oh simple it was just packed either way, not really a variation" but I remember back in 92/93 I was really trippin over that..
