For a while now I've been thinking about what toy company will take on the next Star Trek movie licence. For a while I thought it might be Mattel since they now own Mega Bloks which has just been awarded the Star Trek licence to produce building block sets. That could still make sense for CBS if they still want to go down the mainstream toy line route.
The fan in me though would love for DST to grab this licence (why not give it to DST as well as a mainstream toy maker) as it would compliment the established line DST already produce and tie in the new movies with the established prime universe. I've always felt that the merchandise for the new movies has been few and far between and pretty awful by and large (besides Qmx) compared to the great merchandise we've been getting based on the TOS/TNG era.
I'd love to see DST put out a fully articulated line of new movie action figures based upon their select line. Spock Prime, Khan, Nero, Kirk, Spock, Uhura, McCoy, Scotty, Keenser, Admiral Marcus, Orbital Dive Sulu to name but a few and just think about how awesome a DST USS Enterprise, Kelvin, Vengeance and Narada would be! Plus all the props!
Anyway, just my thoughts...
