Janeway is the main one I would want to see, since she is the only Captain not to receive an AA/DST figure.

I remember seeing a prototype for Jadzia Dax in her season 3/4 teal shouldered uniform. Couldn't that be used to tool a Janeway figure?

Mason I think DST are starting a fresh with their new Star Trek Select line so I doubt any older figures would be in scale or the right design/style with what they want to do with future Star Trek figures - this is a totally new line and TNG onwards are a completely different scale to this new select line. I think Janeway is a distinct possibility as are all the captains it seems so there shouldn't be any need to reuse old figures for DST's new line.
I think I'd rather have a completely new line using new sculpts for all the captains so that they are all the same scale - I don't think there's one company who's done ALL the captains in ONE scale so it would be nice if DST got to do that.

I completely agree, that getting all 5 captains in one scale would be a success IMO!

I'd prefer Janeway as she appeared in season 7. The bun or ponytail would be fine, but since we've seen both of those in toy form I'd vote short hair.

No problem. I actually may be mistaken, in that AA made a Picard for Nemesis that may have been in scale to TOS, while the later DST figure was much larger. That may solve the Sisko problem, as well.
That is my one gap, ironically -- I know toy production, but I don't know the AA/DST line backwards and forwards. Not yet.
Zach, thank you once again for your insight; as always, I appreciate it. That is my one gap, ironically -- I know toy production, but I don't know the AA/DST line backwards and forwards. Not yet.
As others have said, the AA/Nemesis Picard head is indeed in scale with the TOS figures, which are in scale with the Sisko head from the throwback line. (Or should that be The Sisko head?) I may be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure that the rubberized pieces on the Archer figure were restricted to parts of the uniform itself. I've just felt the head of my opened Archer figure, and as far as I can tell, it feels like it's made entirely of hard plastic. If, and I realize that this is a big "if," but if you have the tooling for the Kirk, Picard, and even the Sisko head, you'd only need a Janeway and Archer head, and if you have the Archer head, you'd only need a Janeway head. Bodies might be a bit more of a hurdle depending on what would be needed, but theoretically this should be possible using parts that currently exist, and with minimal new tooling. For example, Janeway might need a new upper torso, but it should be possible to "borrow" Troi's arms, legs, and lower torso from the Nemesis/Troi two

Like I said, I'm rusty on the line history. But I believe the entire TNG line was over the 7-inch scale, while the TOS line was just south of it. Select will be in scale to TOS.
I THOUGHT the Nemesis line was closer to TOS than TNG, but now I think I'm wrong.
