I really liked the Voyager line. They had better articulation than any figures we had seen from the company, which was a welcome surprise after the 'Generations' movie line with limited movement.



Tuvok, B'Elanna, Neelix, Chacotay & The Doctor had good likeness. The others were nice figures as well.

I wish we were able to finish off the Voyager 9" line. I know people like Neelix, Kes, Quark & Jake (early on) were smaller in stature...but I would have preferred they be taller than not included at all. The exclusion of B'Elanna was odd. Ricks site says she was planned as a Target exclusive several times!

I'm looking forward to AA/DST's Voyager figures. I'm happy just seeing the main cast, but it would be truely awesome to see some Hirogen one day...& a Species 8472!!

They certainly do seem to accentuate the positive on 7 of 9 ....

The likenesses of the 4.5" line is laughable!

This polystone masterpiece was sculpted by Oluf W. Hartvigson for Sideshow Collectibles.
Only 200 were made of the maroon outfit version (pictured) and only 400 of the silver outfit version.



I own both! smile.gif But why so small an edition size? Can you say manufacturing and marketing muff-up?

They also produced a bust with an ES of 2000. I own that one too! smile.gif

Yeah, I have both versions of the Sideshow 7 of 9 too. She's absolutely amazing imo! I hope that DST can produce something as great. The only thing I disliked about the PM's version was the articulation. She is still a great figure.

Thanks Artistix! I thought you'd be the one to have it! That's not too bad a figure after all. A little bullnecked, but that's alright. Now I need to track one down for myself!

She shouldn't have the high collar in the maroon outfit.

You can actually get a custom made 9" B'Elanna Torres.
