    I was thinking the same thing about Sarek.

      IMO, DST could have done three more waves and completed a smashing ST:TOS collection:

      *Chapel, Vina/Marta, Tellerite, Trelane
      *Rand, Leslie, Vian, Gem
      *Decker, Harry Mudd, Elaan, Sarek

      A good case could be made for Kor, Kang, or the female Romulan Commander--I was opting for more female characters and distinct aliens. Unfortunately, it's all wishful thinking.
      Yvonne Craig very strictly controls the use of her likeness, which is why no figure of her has ever been done (for Trek). A card company got in trouble a few years ago for using her image without permission. I heard once that Roger Carmel's estate strictly controls his image, which is why the animated Harry didn't look right, and while Mark Lenard probably would have said yes, his estate might be another matter.

      CCC.

        I have no more expectations (or predictions) for Trek Emce.
        That way, I won't get disappointed.

        As far as I can tell, it's dead, Jim.

          NECA picked up planet of the apes,so perhaps they will do star trek.

            Looks as if Funko is doing Star Trek-in the 3 3 /4 inch format-Spock,mcoy,sulu & uhura-cool.

              I wonder if DST could ( or are even allowed) grant a sub license to somebody else to continue the line?

                That would really make them Mego 2.0.

                  I will support and buy anything 8" Trek. I bought multiples of all the more recent Treks except the last few painted head varieties (not Mego enough for me - and just weird looking). I really want to see Rand and Chapel made.

                    I guess Next Gen's Data and Klingon are also "dead, Jim"?
                    Really wanted those...

                        I had the original mego Star Treks but got into these to late and I question what was Diamond thinking with there last releases
                        Salt Vampire was cool but Pike should have been with a Talotian set and there were too many figures to do before starting Next Generation.
                        Diamond did good work on Khan and Romulon and I love the new Gorn . They still should have done Klingon commander Kang, Nurse Chapel,
                        Janice Rand, Gary Mitchell (silver eyes), Sarek, Yvonne Craig, Angelique Pettyjohn(Shahna) , Talotians, Lt. Riley, and Charons Lokei and Bele

                          They can't do Yvonne Craig without consent, she controls the use of her likeness too closely.

                            Vina would have been just fine instead of Marta if Yvonne would not give permission to use her likeness.

                              Saw that the Funko figures are going to be the 3.75" scale vinyl POP figures, not ReAction figures.

                                I went looking for my Romulan figure, but could only find the extra head I had gotten a long time ago, back when Doc still had them in vinyl.

                                I popped it onto a Castaway/Zica body (even though I lost one of the screws, darn it! Anyone have any in that size?), and he looks great.
