#50294 Do you want DST to make Trek Tek from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock?

Posted by Gardi on 19 February 2010 - 08:17 AM in AA / DST

Phaser and Communicator.It's never going to happen i don't think.Unless at some juncture EFX decided to do a prop replica.That being the case i'd settle for the phaser.
I think part of the problem is that STIII is one of the least popular films.So when DST are looking for retail partners it would be next to impossible for them to sell a STIII item no matter how good it is.Witness the disappearance of the Excelsior that they showed at last year's toyfair.
As it goes i've always loved STIII,not a perfect film but very good nonetheless.



#50192 Toy Fair

I've not posted anywhere for a long time but i thought i'd chip in my tuppence worth on the Toyfair showings.
The Ent B is nice but my goodness how long do we have to wait.They showed this at Toyfair last year.
The Pike looks good but you can keep it in the abscence of any proper action figures.No action figures seems like a real issue to me.Figures are the underpinning of the line and not to show any at all at Toyfair is strange and worrying.
The Bird of Prey looks really nice but i'd much preferred to have seen a Klngon Battlecruiser.They could've done a TV version and a movie version.Two ships based on the same mold as in years gone by.
The Klingon disruptor?Before a Next Gen or Star Trek 3 Phaser.Nope not for me.A very strange choice indeed.
Strange times indeed.I know retail support is not what it was but there is still a solid demand out there especially from the specialty shops.Even AA back in the day managed to get their figures out in a more orderly fashion and that,as i'm sure some remember,is really saying something.
