Based on what Playmates did with the last film, I'd be surprised if Hasbro does anything remotely as huge. So far though, i haven't personally seen anything regarding STID figures, models, etc. at all. I wonder if we will be flooded in January or February.

Certainly the press release months ago suggested that a select range of action figures and role play items would be coming out as well as Kreo but its hard to tell. I emailed Hasbro UK regarding release dates and they didn't tell me a thing, just to come back in February and March so we'll probably find out more as toy fair approaches

Since I have moved to mostly 1.6 scale stuff I am really hoping Hot Toys does at least a couple of figures from the new movie.
I would also be on board for Hasbro doing figures from the new movie in the same size and style of their Star Wars or GI Joe line. I would probably buy everyone and multiples of some.

I hope that if they do a line of figures (and I'm of the opinion that if they don't it'll be really stupid on Hasbro's part) that they pepper in figures from the 2009 movie , TOS and TNG as well. TNG to cover the 25th Anniversary. PEZ alone isn't enough!

I'll have what he's having! Seriously, I'd buy a three foot long Enterprise even without those features, but that kind of interactivity would really go well with the more cerebral nature of Star Trek!

But also Kids are getting so much technology these days that Star Trek toys could really find their niche. Trek is all about the technology when it isn't about the social and ethical issues so what better property to bridge the gap between tech and toy than Trek.
Educational toys too, science toys and Hasbro could really do something unique with Star Trek that includes a lot of interactive features that work with like a Vtech pad or something. No imagination left in the toy industry though thats why it's really feeling the pressure these days.

Over at Star Trek.com they have another article dealing with Star Trek toys in 2013, it's almost just the same as the press release, but Kreo and"select figures and role play", seem to be two separate entities. Hurry up and get here Toy Fair 2013!

I watched the 9 minute clip in front of The Hobbit in IMAX 3D....There were several cheers for the Star Trek trailer. This movie is absolutely screaming for a good action figure/ action toy line! The Spock in the volcano action sequence alone has to be witnessed. This movie looks like it will definately put butts in the seats and they will all be on the very edge of those seats!

Maybe they can reuse that Mustafar playset again

Hasbro isn't above a little reuse. Lol That Mustafar playset actually wouldn't be a bad foundation for a "Planet Hell" set! That thing has already been Boulder Hill in the old Mask line, Mustafar for Star Wars, and Akator in the Indiana Jones line. Hasbro has certainly gotten some mileage out of that set! Throw in some nice figures of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and a battle damaged shuttle and you got something I'd buy in an instant! Maybe throw in a few slight retools of those Crystal Skull Natives as Alien-Natives too. So much potential for reuse from other Hasbro lines that mold reuse is unnoticeable.

Not a clue what that play set looks like but certainly this movie looks more toy friendly with more opportunities for toys so it would be a huge shame if Hasbro didn't do what they do best... Toys! Kreo is all very well but I want Hasbro to go to town doing with Trek what they have done with Wars and even doing cross overs if studios allow it. Also I'd love an Enterprise transformer Optimus prime

Here's the playset over the years. I'm not 100 %sure that the MASK Boulder Hill Set is the same, but I've heard from several Star Wars forums that it is a retooled set. Surely something not to far out of the realm of possibility. Enjoy:

It looks nicer as the Indiana Jones set but yeah I could see this as well as a shuttle being quite cool! Maybe add some lights into the set too since it looks like the main play feature would be boulders spewing from a very large lava lake as Spock becomes enveloped within the lava? So maybe having more lava sculpted pieces/translucent pieces with lights and sounds as you launch the large lava boulders towards your Spock in volcano suit action figure? Possibly including some kind of light changing feature when or if Spock deploys the big Ice Cube?
The shuttle could then come with Sulu and Uhura with battle damaged nacelle and winch/zip line for Spock to attach to.
But if your gonna do that you might as well do a large Enterprise vehicle with Kirk and McCoy action figures (not to scale) or an underwater Enterprise toy kids can use in the bath pretending to take off from under the waves?
Then you may want to go and do an Enterprise bridge play set! That could be linked to other Enterprise interior play sets sold separately
The only problem I see with such a volcano set is that unlike Mustafar or the temple, it is just a Volcano in Trek unless they add the nearby alien village to the set which could either be saved by Spock or destroyed

Just reading an article on another site that reminded me of the conversation here. It's time that people step back and give credit where credit is due: Star Trek is shaping our future. What better way to capture the imaginations of our next astronauts, engineers, game developers,etc than to incorporate more technology and interactivity in a toyline. Star Trek is the best option for making it so!

I don't want to siderail this thread, but the idea of tablets replacing toys all together is a bit farfetched. Nintendo and other game stations didn't kill off toys, so I don't think tablets will be the death nail. However I do think the toy companies would be smart to somehow link aspects of their toylines with some sort of app.

if anything will kill off toys its the skyrocketing production costs. Its tough to collect at the prices now and I fear what they will be in 5 years.
