    She's dead Jim

    Majel Barrett (wife of Gene Roddenberry), who played Nurse Chapel on the original Start Trek (and voiced computers for all series) died today of leukemia. It'd be cool to have a Nurse Chapel figure to go with our retro Mego McCoys.

    And where's yeoman Rand while we're at it?

        Yes, the news report said she just finished recording the computers voice 2 weeks ago. I met her and she was a very Gracoius Lady and will be missed. So we really do need MECE Figures of Chapel, Rand, Mr Leslie and Mr Kyle with aliens M'ress and Arex.

          Paramount should smarten up

          Someone at Paramount should realize that Playmates Trek toys end up as mounds of scraps, while megos (or emce in this case) are and are cherished.

            NOT TRUE! I love my playmates Star Trek figures more than my Megos. If I had to choose one collection to keep (NEVER WILL HOPEFULLY), I'd choose the playmates. I love the scale and the playsets and the variety of characters...

            Plus, I'm a sucker for my TNG collection.

              Yes, I will always love Playmates for finally giving Trek the toy exposure that resembled Star Wars that I always thought it deserved.

                Nurse Chapel was Gene's wife? Didn't know that.

                  I met her at a Creationcon YEARS ago.

                  A very gracious lady, willing to answer questions (no matter how dumb they were), never got tired or cranky, dressed beautifully, and funny as all heck.

                  Told lots of stories, none of which I can remember now darn it!

                  She will be missed.
