First pictures from the Toy Fair.

Trek action figures that actually look like, get this, the characters. Who'd have thought we'd live to see the day? Beautiful detail on these puppies. I may actually have to buy one to stick over my desk.

Wow, that is a really likeness, especially with T'Pol. That is so much better than what I've seen in a long time.

Nevermind that - lookit the NX-01 toy! Kickass!

However, I am sorta peeved that there's no regular Hoshi figure..

Mark

Oh, please Mark, we *ALL* know the real reason for your dissapointment is the lack of a "Hoshi and T'Pol in Decon Undies" set!

She'll come... just in several months time. I read somewhere that it could be three years before they release enough "deluxe" playsets to put together a complete bridge. The comm station will presumably come with regular-duty-uniform Hoshi. Phlox is in the works, too.

I think the EVA suits are being released now because Art Asylum (understandably) wants to show off. The sculpting is top-notch. More statues than toys.

I'm all for 'Enterprise' action figures, but I'm also kind of glad that other movies and such are getting their day in the toy stores ...

Kurt Russell in tight jeans? You stick to that, Jeff, and I'll join Mark in hoping for the Hoshi/T'Pol/Cutler decon playset.

"She'll come... just in several months time."

Sucks for her...

Is iot just me, or are the superchargers too far back on the toy ship. . ?

SWEET!!! They're making a phase pistol toy!! Don't take it to the airport.

I see they've accuarately portrayed T'Pol's...errr...proportions.

I wonder if they gave Klaang (Zeus) his lazy eye... [Roll Eyes]

Very cool stuff.

Tom, apparently unlike you and Mark, I don't beat off to action figures. [Smile]

The toy is nice and all, but...

*goes all Gollumlike for a moment like Bilbo in FotR*

I WANT A PLASTIC MODEL I CAN PUT TOGETHER MYSELF!!! BREEEAAAAGH!

*goes normal*

I hope they hurry up and licence that soon.

*drools over phase pistols*

*wipes up*

*gets mad that they're releasing a toy now (after nearly going blind trying to build a 3D model using screengrabs as reference)*

Vogon Poet, those 'superchargers' or tranfer junctions or whatever they are seem to be positioned correctly...

*goes back to sleep*

Looks good to me..

Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on February 11, 2002 06:12 PM:

Probably. They just look weird for some indefinable reason. . .

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 138) on February 11, 2002 09:17 PM:

Scott Bakula was on The Daily Show last night talking about these new action figures. As well as his and T'Pol's prison scene. It was pretty funny.

Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on February 13, 2002 07:52 AM:

He sure does get around, doesn't he? He was on Rosie yesterday and was showing his action figure. He mentioned that he had no idea when they're going to stores...

And he brought NX-01 hats for the audience [Mad]

Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on February 13, 2002 08:42 AM:

Yeah, how MEAN of him.

Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on February 13, 2002 09:28 PM:

I think what he meant was that he should have brought hats for all of us [Smile]

Actually, I know a guy who does embroidering on hats and shirts and stuff...I'm thinking about getting an NX-01 hat done...

Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on February 14, 2002 03:30 AM:

Wow.. I usually dont do new toys, I'm probably going to have to get that NX-01 right away. to finally TOUCH the thing after squinting at details for the better part of a year.
