Im going to be kind of going off the topic of this thread but it kinda relates to your point of not having any cool biography or technical information on the Playmates Packaging. I sure miss those blueprints. Paramount certainly isnt blameless in this either. Where are the Star Trek Technical Books, The Encyclopedias, Compendiums, etc? They had a Cutaway painting of the JJ Abrams Enterprise in an issue of Popular Mechanics. Why wasnt this on a poster we could have on our wall? Star Wars had all those DK books with cut-away pictures of Starships and World Maps and books covering characters and Tech from all the movies. I want to buy such things for Star Trek but its not to be found.

That would not surprise me at all that they made no effort to touch base with Paramount to insure accuracy of products. The way they are phoning the line in now and showing absolutely no sign of attempting to communicate with buyers who could ultimately make this toy line a success shows they have not learned a thing from past failures. I notice public opinion of Playmates is spiraling rapidly downward and it is certainly deserved.

Takes a bow. Then runs off with a couple of Orion Animal Girls.

I got my Enterprise D at my doorstep today and TOS Communicator. I actually loved both of them. I have the DST ships of both of TOS and the D too. I really love the toy aspect of the Playmates ones more though. I just wish they would have kept the warp whoosh from the old 90s ships. They just feel incomplete without that sound effect. Im really hoping for more ships, figures, role play and some playsets! I hope they will do something from the current shows.

I bet the Star-Fleet Corps of Engineers forgot the saucers bottom phaser array on Veridian III!
