That is brilliant, and just what I hoped. Perhaps Joachim for the Khan figure? He was quite prominent too. David or Carol would be great too, I really wouldn't mind either way. Unless it actually is that spacesuit Chekhov he mentioned in the news release?Interesting interview with Brian Volk-Weiss from Nacelle with some more info and hints. The emphasis is on new characters never done before, and each wave will be mixed in terms of characters and series. They only have the rights up to 2005.
Given the above and the scale, we should probably look at the Art Asylum/DST range and hunt for the gaps.
He is pretty clear there is no Picard in this first line, or Kirk in his Monster Maroons. He does give some hints about the first six figures, with one each from the following:
And finally one from TNG, although he says he needs to be "coy" about that one, so I guess it could be a crossover figure. He does partially show a prototype, only enough to see that it's a male in a TNG command uniform... Q has been done plenty of times before. Could be Jellico, given that he's in Prodigy now too.
- Generations - wood-chopping, egg-scrambling, "Oh My"-ing Kirk is the only major gap. Unless it's one of the TNG crew in the naval uniforms, which would be amazing.
- Wrath of Khan - Carol Marcus?
- Star Trek III - David Marcus?
- Star Trek IV - Robin Curtis Saavik? All previous Saavik figures are Kirstie Alley. Or Gillian would be great, to match DST's Kirk and Spock.
- Voyager - S4-7 Janeway? Her only regular figure was the original Playmates release, and maybe one of the 9" dolls. DST never did one. Or Admiral Janeway? Or another Seven of Nine I guess.
He hopes they will be announced this year, or early 2025.
Excited.
