^Wave 1^

 

It's funny how people complain about the ~15 buck price tag on the Playmates figures, but nobody talks about these being $20...

^ Wave 2^

 

Troi's sculpt is... unflattering. I'd say play-with collectors might get some mileage from combining these high-detail accessories with Playmates' comparatively high-detail figures - and the scale of hands-to-props might be better there too. The sculpts here are charmingly simple, and they get the collar right where PM messed those up.

 

EDIT: Wait, these are 7 inch!? I thought they were closer to the Galoob TNG figures in scale!

 

EDIT 2: No, they're 3.75 inches. That's more sensible with this level of detail and the size of the packaging. Speaking of the packaging, I really like the art on it, and the back is LCARStastic.

Hate to see the price point on that new 7" line.

Ok wow, the actual 7" line is a lot nicer!

Look at those accessories and alternate heads! Now that's a $20 figu- [sees actual pre-order price] - oh, ok... that's a $55 figure. I guess that's ok for the size, detail and amount of supporting material.

 

EDIT:

 

HahaHAAAAA! Riker comes with a smirking head and a Captain Picard Day plush Picard! BRILLIANT!

I still have no interest in 7" scale figures but, dang, these look pretty sweet! The price is plenty steep to keep me away though.

I have no interest in figures full-stop, but I'm still liking the uptick in toys and licensees.

 

Now, please, moar electronic props and ships. Someone, please, do that Tricorder phone case from Picard season 2 - it is bloomin' no-brainer. Do a Federation version too for diversification... and for slightly more money, do a version with a light up screen for people who can't afford a bajillion-euro phone to pop into it.

Those are cool, and I am tempted since no-one makes that size however why do they tease with the playsets like that? A Ten-Forward, chair for Data, poker table.... They would be amazing. Hope they sell well enough to get more though.

I just recently read in a Facebook post that this line has been cancelled. Does anyone have confirmation of that? I know Guinnan was pushed to wave 2 bc of low preorder and then dropped but not the whole line from my last understanding.

The figures reportedly haven't been promoted at industry events. That's not official but it's certainly not a great sign. Evidently there's no interest at retail for ANY Trek figures. Guess I better pre-order those Hiya figures ASAP.
