    Star Trek TMP 3.75" figure spotlights...

    Hey all!

    Just put a spotlight up for the Arcturian at my site yesterday-

    http://www.apieceoftheaction.net/201...-3-motion.html

    And in case you missed them, here's a link to my previous TMP 3.75" spotlights-

    Awesome line!

    Thanks for sharing those links. Nice to see this line get some much needed love. Those photographs you took really capture this line perfectly. I had most of the crew as a kid and agree that the face sculpts, given the scale of the figures, were pretty well done. I think the two drawbacks on this line were the lack of cool accessories and the limited articulation - but as to articulation it isn't like Kenner was doing much more with Star Wars at the time. That Enterprise looks like it was a pretty cool playset. I will probably try to reacquire some of these figures down the road.

      It's a shame Playmates Toy's return to 3 3/4" scale Star Trek figures thirty years after these weren't really much of an improvement! It would have been nice to see something to display right next to all of my Star Wars figures! Maybe 2012 will see more success for the line and hopefully the inclusion of all the other variations of Star Trek over the years. I'm waiting for, at the very least the inclusion of TOS and TNG in this scale, but I'd be ecstatic if they went all out with a Star Trek Legacy line!

        I was just digging around today and I found probably 30 of these figures some were TNG Galloob, but most of them were TMP, some crappy some imaculate but all were awesome. They were in my middle console in my Truck LOL

            Wow, those are some great reviews and nice pictures. Currently I only have the Kirk from this line but hope to someday get the rest. ST:TMP is my favorite Trek movie by far.

              TMP's my favorite Trek film as well.. As for the Mego figs, I always thought Spock's ears were a bit TOO big, but all in all, outstanding sculpts..! I agree that Decker was a bit vague for details, but that's forgivable, seeing how well the others were done.

                          Very cool! Those aliens really were well crafted.

                            I'm going to have to buy that Klingon...

                            I got rid of my TMP 3" crew a while ago, but will probably start re-collecting again.
