The only 9 incher from Mirror I got from Mirror, Mirror was Uhura.

As you mentioned McCoy was a KB Exclusive but theu also made a Marlena figure! I had a chance to buy in my local KB and I did not!

Funny that was the only version they have ever made of her.

Oh well...

Nice updates with Trelane and gangster Kirk. I detailed my Trelane fig's coat with gold paint. Great idea on Kirk's hat.

I loved the Playmates set of the original crew. But there is an error Scotty's too short and Chekov's too tall. Looked like they mixed up the lower legs on them.

I attempted to fix that with a quick lower leg switcheroo. without the aid of any precision tools. Look at the knees I still see my crude attempts to customize them.

But no harm no foul!

Nice update, and I agree, Nurse Chapel gets overlooked as a regular of the TOS crew too many times.

Yeah the 9 in KB Mirror figures are less that par. I do have the Uhura but I can't remember if that was also a KB Excl or a wide release. The Empire insignia looks like a decal and not painted.

Funny I saw a Marlena in KB and never bought it! Stupid move!

Oh and I never bought the 12in Pike either and I saw it on shelves too! After your rundown I might look online for one and get the movie pike 12 incher too. Might do a uni swap.

I loved those field jackets I wished they had carried on to the regular series.

I would totally wear one of those jackets as a regular jacket if I could find somebody that made nice replicas of them.... I LOVE the field jacket.

That Classic Crew set is one of the bast pieces from Playmates first series of stuff. I remember when i saw it at walmart back in the early 90's i almost had a fainting spell. Back in those days you didnt know what was coming out until you saw it in the store and i couldnt believe it! Had to have it. I have a loose set and a MIB set of these. I still love it after all of these years.

When I first found the bridge set I was aghast. The sucker was sooo expensive! I had only been exposed to the TNG figures, which I was not as excited to buy at the time. This one haunted me for a while, I would try to ponder a way to make it mine without breaking the bank. Finally it went on sale, a rarity for TRU Canada, and I got it.
I had since bought half a dozen, as that was the only way to get the classic figures, for customizing purposes. I have one MIB and another custom MIB (used Cage/WNMHGB figures), and tonnes of headswaps, complete or incomplete.
This was where I learned customizing, and now I am an addict, someone save me... Ah, the memories.
