When transporter technology is available, no doubt replicator technology will be too, so then all you have to do is instruct the replicator to replicate as many MIB or MIP Star Trek figures as you want, i bet the packaging will be perfect every time!

Yes from time to time when the replicator get programed with something else other than Kirk and Spock it either takes it weeks and weeks to mateirlize or all you get to see is a picture of it lol

The Wesley looks to old. I think it might be derived from Q. The Romulan could be original or possibly Data resculpted.
A smart person would get them, open them, make molds and cast copies, but only a few at a time and pass them off as prototypes on Ebay. Would work as long as he didn't get caught by someone not afraid to open a package.

Well, if they learned their lesson from the extra Rikers, I'd bet they wouldn't have released quite as many. I totally would have bought one. I was so jealous of Wesley. I totally wanted to be him. I was 9. Plus, there was a good handful of marketing to kids my age at that time. I remember something on a Cheerios box, I had stickers...I don't think it would have done badly. I bet if they had taken the risk to keep the line going it would have started to pay off. Plus, they could have done some easy re-releases with Riker, Geordi, and Worf repaints without extra retooling. Yes, that would have ment that Worf's Baldric would be wrong...but they still could have gone that route. Oh well.

Perhaps I should have used the word clever, anyway, the point is there aren't supposed to be very many, yet they always seem to be available.

A friend of mine has run a toy shop for ten yrs and somebody still got one over on him. They brought in what was thought to be a mint on card original 70's Darth Vader. Everything was 100% right about it while he looked at it during the transaction. He paid $600 for it and one day when he was moving it around vaders light saber slid out of his arm and you could tell it was a fake one because the color wasnt right at all. Then he started dig around the net and found out the card was a reproduction card that is sold on ebay to be nearly 100% original for people who want to recard figures and the only way you can tell its not is by using a magnifying glass. I even looked at it and it had me convinced I mean everything was right about it and then he showed me the imperfections and they are really hard to spot. Con artist are getting better and better at this game.
