Okay, so quite a few pages back I did a silly sketch of a Star Trek Select Troi. This time, I'm going to show an utterly SERIOUS drawing of what I think would be the ULTIMATE Captain Kathryn Janeway Select toy.
Let's face it, if she ever gets one... it's likely the only time we'll see the good Captain in this form, so I think she needs to hit all the buttons! Now, I do think this might be too much. It seems like maybe with Picard on we won't see quite so elaborate designs with these. Of the things on there, I guess the chair, crossed legs and the coffee cup would be the first things I'd cut if I had too.
But I just think one of the great things about the non-articulated legs is the ability to get really natural poses out of the legs, and this would be a perfect use. So here's my crazy dream:
Insanely huge version of this is here: http://www.flickr.co...in/photostream/
So, she'd come with:
Articulated upper body
2 head with different expressions
3 hair pieces
1 phaser rifle hand
1 phaser rifle grip hand
2 neutral open hands
1 coffee-cup hand
1 pair of standing legs
1 pair of sitting crossed legs
Yeah.. probably nuts... but it would be amazing to choose which look you'd want from her.
I am not even going to lie. I would buy at least 4 of these if it were made. This would be my dream Janeway figure. Great work.

It's certainly a great design! Not sure how much experience we have with swappable hair, outside of Minimates.
Mind if I show it to some people?

woah that is awesome!!!!

Let me just say that if Diamond Select Toys made the Janeway figure as shown in JonWes's concept art, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Wow, thanks everyone! I'm glad you liked it! It was one of those things I got in my head and had to get out on paper.
JMW326 - I hear you. I'd definitely be buying multiples!

Feel free to show it to whoever! I do think the swappable hair might be a challenge, but I THINK her hair styles might make it easier than it would be for some characters.

Jon that design is fantastic. Now I would love a captains line like that.

Well isn't that amazing. I guess you could relieve DST of the hair issue by having two heads with differing hairstyles/expressions oh and don't tell Zach that we can usually remove women's hair on our own, shhh

That Janeway rocks! Sign me up! Great work. DSTZach...much appreciation for your response to his work. Regardless of the outcome.
(But, please, please, please, please, please...)

She started wearing the ponytail in the "Future's End" two-parter in season 3 and kept it though "Year of Hell" of season 4. Thanks Google!

Thanks again everyone. It's nice to see the Captain get some love, as sometimes Voyager feels like the forgotten child of the Star Trek universe toy-wise.
Yep, as a compromise, use "serious" face with bun hair, and "smirk" with shoulder-length hair. Did she really wear a ponytail that often? I can't conjur many mental images of that.
I think that could work, too. If you had to cut any hair option, it'd probably be the pony tail. She didn't have it that long, really. In some ways I remember it more from the Playmates 12'' figure than the actual show!
I think the harder choice is this... I've heard that the head can be one of the more expensive parts of a figure due to the paint apps. So if you had to choose one head (even if you kept the hair swap) which would it be... smirk or serious? I don't really know. They are both so much a part of the character of Janeway.

Janeway had the ponytail on Scorpion Parts 1&2 and for part of season 4 then in Year of Hell she had the shorter hair style.

An ode to Janeway's hair:

LOL - wow, that took someone a lot of time. I was pretty impressed with the literal interpretation of the lyrics.
Posted 27 June 2013 - 03:19 PM
That video is hilarious.
I dunno man...you gotta have two hairstyles for Janeway! If Spock can have two heads and a giant Horta diorama, then Janeway can have two heads!
Posted 27 June 2013 - 07:24 PM
That is definitely the perfect Janeway. Great job, Jon! Aside from an option of hairstyles, that sort of thing would work perfect for Sisko as well (especially considering the Defiant chair is already prototyped).

The Janeway-idea looks awesome! I'd buy one!
And nice pictures! I especially like the lighting in the last one!
