Funko Reaction Classic Trek

[Hedji]

Me likey! I'm in.

[nobody]

Likenesses could be better but those cards are freaking amazing. I hope they make loads of bad guys and aliens.

Talosion, Gorn, Andorian, Klingon, Squire of Gothos, Harry Mudd, Ruk, Romulan, Balok, Mugatu, Salt Vampire, Bele, Vina, Khan...

I've said..You're only buying the card art.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I think they look fantastic. would have been all over these in 1981. what's up with no Kirk though? how can you not have the captain in the first wave? maybe they could not get the Shat's likeness license?

[torgospizza]

I'm grateful Spock doesn't have a Vulcan salute hand.

Yes! That is a big plus. I find that annoying as well.

I'm with you two. I'd also think it would be great if they sold some sort of bridge playset. Didn't Funko mention getting into playsets at some point, or am I imagining that?

[LordMudd]

I will probably get 2 of Sulu. Finally a Sulu head in 1/18 scale I can put on an ERTL body.

CCC.

Motion Picture likenesses and especially the Search for Spock figures were much better representations. So it doesn't make sense for a "retro" line to not at least be on par with the product that came out from the same period they're attempting to nostalgically recall.

[PNGwynne]

I want to like these but cannot quite. Maybe the protos are off?

[jwyblejr]

To me,Uhura is the biggest disappointment. Just look at that dress. How hard would it have been for them to just slap on a piece of red cloth around her legs? Instead they just paint the top of her legs red.

[Toy Timelord]

Mego's TMP figures had better likenesses 35 years ago.
I will buy them to toss into my 3.75" scifi hodgepodge.

[rykerw1701]

I like these. I open most things, but the card art works very well and it's not like there's a lot of articulation there anyway. These will be the first in this scale I've bought.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The likeness on the Mego STTMP figures were really good. They were also proportioned like a normal human being. These things have stumpy little legs and cartoony faces. Aside from the Alien line, these ReAction figures have been a huge disappointment. It's comes across as a cash grab instead of actually putting out a quality product for the older collector.

[MysteryWho]

Yep, these are terrible. Other than the Alien series and the Universal Monsters they really seem to have dropped the ball.
I'm genuinely hoping that BBP and others will pick up more licences and run with them. The Twilight Zone was well done.

The Star Trek TMP, Black Hole and Buck Rogers were sculpted by Bill Lemmon, a legendary toy and model kit sculptor. To call fuzzy likeness "Retro" is kind of lame, I don't mind five points of articulation and simplification at all but this is wrong headed to me.

[Gorn Captain]

Compared to some of Funko's other "efforts", these are ok. Face sculpts are, again, totally irrelevant. You need a photo on the card to "recognize" McCoy.

I'm getting the feeling that once Funko took over they decided on an aesthetic and are sticking to it. Short legs, long torsos, broad shoulders and Elephant Man heads. The only ones that have strayed from that are the Universal Monsters and Horror Series. I'll probably get a Spock and Sulu, but that'll be it.
