Here's a Sarek on a Lwaxana Troi card. The switch-outs of 1995 cards are kind of rare, this is one of just a handful I've seen. (Switched cards on 1992 figures are perhaps among the rarest, in terms of what we've seen).

 

Was hoping the 1995 cards would get a little longer run, but alas. With TNG having ended a year prior, and having done figures like Tasha, Pulaski, and some All Good Things figures.

 

Speaking of which, the All Good Things figures, when they were first announced, I totally expected them to appear on 1995 cards.

One thing that's kind of difficult to get a sense for, still, is how the larger scale dolls sold and how big of a following they had. We barely mention them on here, but they did so many, in retrospect, and in very small numbers, so I suspect the tooling for all that was pricey.
 
Were you able to talk to Jim Garber, is he still in the industry?
 
Hadn't seen that quote from Mara Hart. But I guess they got started on the process too early, basically, before filming started, and had those Bob Blackman sketches, and like everybody else hadn't really seen the film. 
 
How were your contacts with sculptors, were they helpful? Did any of them have any cool stories about stuff that didn't get made or was cancelled?

Huge, huge props for this, the research this must have required was serious.
 
Never knew that Chase Masterson's fans were the ones who got the figure made.
 
Did you get the back story about Crusher Generations mixup?
 
30K units for the Warp Factor figures sounds about right, didn't know there were so few made. I forgot that the Tribbles O'Brien was the limited one.
 
The Mugato figure is such a great sculpt, it aged really well.
 
Species 8472 figure doesn't get enough mentions nowadays, but that was a heavy lift at the time.
 
Sooo many uniform screwups in the later years, kinda amazing looking back at it, you wonder "how did that even happen?"
 
The Eddington figure is so dope, love it.
 
Intendant Kira at 8000 units is a pretty small run, but it came out in later years so there wasn't a big rush of people to find them. 
 
In the course of research, did you get to talk to Overley about the line at all? What's he up to now?

I don't see how this could make money. Compared to ten years ago, there's so much content on streaming services now, and movies overall in the pandemic era have been sparse as well.

 

I don't get how Paramount thinks there's a financial upside to this, esp with this cast. Even SNW isn't popular enough (and it's popular) to support a film at this point I would guess.

A Dr. Crusher International Edition sold for $57.00 plus $8.00 shipping after 9 bids.

 

I don't see these come up for sale all that often, but apparently they've held their value well. 

 

I didn't think this was too tough of an item to get, but they were limited to 4000 units and sold in the UK and Australia only.
