Was the figure bow-legged when you first got it?

You know, that's a very good point. DST's 1701 Geordi and Data figures have been easier to come by than this figure ever was!

Good point. Makes me wonder which if any of the DST figures will be hard to find someday.... it's always the ones you least expect. Totally off topic, but a fun guessing game.. Hey, we could start a guessing thread in the DST section that we can dig up years from now and see who was right, who was wrong.... (suddenly having visions of the old "in the year 2000" Conan O'Brien skits...)

I will keep an eye out for you here in Ottawa! :-)

Thanks Gordo! I saw him at out local Suncoast when he was released and for a loooonnggg time after, but never picked him up because I told myself, "Man, I am not picking up just another repaint of Worf!" Now I could kick myself every day ... for him and the Trifold Borg! LOL

A year ago he was at the Hilton in Vegas on the clearance rack. i probably should have picked him up too!

I was at an off-the-beaten-path Zellers here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada today and managed to find the old VHS "Star Trek: The Next Generation" set with the bundled 4.5" Playmates Worf. Details on the figure are over on the resource linked from Rick's New Force site:

The best part is that the set cost me only $8. I'm throwing out the tapes -- I think all these episodes are on the Klingon DVD set I purchased, anyway -- but I'm really looking forward to adding this figure to my display. I think he's one of only about 20 of the 4.5" Playmates figures I'm missing!

Pretty cool...I'd like one of those myself! Nice addition to a collection.

[TrekCollector01]

He's nothing special -- just a repaint of "All Good Things" Worf -- but he's nice to have all the same. I'm just glad he cost me $8 rather than the original $60!

Given that Playmates was looking for a cheap repaint for the set, it would've been nice if they'd done Season 2 Worf. (They would've only needed paint Season 1 Worf gold.)

...I always thought it classy that when Playmates issued the subset of figures with firing weapons, they made a special Season 2 Geordi rather than re-releasing another version. Too bad I had to customize Worf to match!

There is nothing wrong with a repaint.

[TrekCollector01]

Nice find though!

Yeah, a pretty good bargain.

[TrekCollector01]

There were only 40,000 made. At the time that was a low amount! Things sure do change don't they.

What was the normal amount back then?

You can find the set pretty decently priced on ebay. I wonder how much he is on amazon...if at all.
