Do I buy the WOK Phaser and then wait for the communicator or do I wait for the two pack...or both !!
Why has there been no improvement to the Borg Queen since we first saw her?

SO much greatness....and if these sell well, I'm hopeful that we'll see more TOS in the future...

I see a great Sarek custom from some talented people in the future.

I know we've seen it before, but that Gowron looks great.
Chapel and McCoy looks like a great set. I was just saying to Don the other night that I'd love to see DST offer that 2-pack. First of all, that's a great way to make some of the Chapel fans on this board happy. Secondly, I'd like to have the McCoy as variety for my TOS display. (Though he looks like he's got a bit of the monkey arm thing going on there. )
I'm scared that DST is going to release a million variations on Seven. Mostly, my fear is tied to knowing that I won't have the self-control to resist buying them all.

Salt Vamps will be a definite but they all look very promising!

That TWOK Communicator looks nice too!
I've been loving the Chairs, It's become a nice way to display the crew around!

The Romulan Kirk looks nice, but, to me, it's not worth $25+shipping.
Why does the ST3/4 phaser have a brown handle? http://74.52.193.82/...2_itemId=124825 I know that for TNG they wrapped the handle with leather, but that seems strange to me for that figure.
I could NOT be more excited for that TWOK communicator. No one's ever made one of those, to my recollection. That is AWESOME!!!

Too short.
but even if DST just made some longer Thigh Bits, It will look odd as her Torso really needs to be longer.
That proto torso looks like they took the Uhura Mold and carved out a few more parts.
I'd really like a new stance though....
We have Uhura, MM Uhura, MM Marlena, and T&T Dax all using the same basic stance and body style. It's enough already IMO.
Well, heck...
Here's a WIP where I've gone and lengthened the legs on an Uhura TOS basic body. Decide for yourselves if you think it's just a bit off for a Chapel!

We all knew this would be the case with 7.

Yes, Yes we all know how DST likes to be cheap with Trek. This would have been a great way to justify the tooling costs to make her. I have no problem with 7 of 9 variants, and I'm sure they will be more. Probably in 2 pk with another Kirk.

Doesn't it cost whatever it's going to to develop the figure and make the tooling? Either DST thinks they can sell enough Guinan's to make it cost out or they don't... right?
What am I missing?
Besides... she's part of the BaBa wave 2... so wave 2 looks to be Locutus, Silver 7 and the Queen thus far...

In my opinion, the Borg series was the best chance to have Guinan made, as most of us are going to buy complete set(s). It may not cost out selling her at random or in a two pk, but in a series like this where you would have to buy her to complete the alcove would, I would think, justify the expense of making her.
