Star Trek Pre Orders starting

[SKotK]

I believe the bridge playset will be an exact reproduction of the last run, although I'm sure there will be some minor variations in manufacturing and packaging.

Nice to have confirmation that the bridge is definitely planned!

Would it be very difficult to change the color of the plastic used for the bridge accessories to make the other variation? If you could, you'd sell a few more that way...and make it just that much more collectible.

I bought every trek figure DST put out already, so unless new characters are planned, my only excitement will be watching my current collection loose value.
Hoping for a Gorn on a Hulk body and a Trelane.

[PNGwynne]

Yes, a few new figures would be excellent: Trelane, Mudd, Vina, Chapel, Rand, Leslie.

[Barnabas Collins]

I'd take a cardboard shuttlecraft. And don't forget Nurse Chapel and Vina.

Yes cardboard, and half the size of that amazing scratch built number from earlier.

Thanks for the kind words to all. Actually, i scratch built this Shuttle Craft bout' 5 years ago with less then $35 i spent at Michael's. It's made out of cardboard and foam paper. It's extremely light and more of a beauty in person....as told to me by Trekkie fans that have seen it in action. The dash board is fully functional and the Galileo 7 is built to simulate flight (it could hold up to 11 Mego Star Trek figures). If FTC would make a vessel like this and sell it for $100 to $150.....i'm sure it will sell very well (i'll buy 2 of them).

Early prototype pics of the interior from a bird's eye view....


My buddies' son....posing with Galileo 7 in flight......Hence, the crew inside via the open door.


Side shot of Galileo 7 with open door and Uhura inside.......


Shuttle Craft a few feet of the ground (in the air) cruising near watery coast line......(Spoiler Alert!) at the other end of the beach....They will be ambushed by the Mego POTA Gorillas soldiers!!!





The adventures are endless, and so much fun with the addition of a Shuttle Craft to "Boldly go where no Star Trek Mego figure has gone before".

Excellent!!!^^

That's the one thing from the new re-do line I missed out on. Nice to know I should have a second chance.

To celebrate Star Trek's 50th, new figures of Trelane, Mudd, Rand, Chapel, Sarek, Amanda, Vina, Leslie, Female Romulan, Female Klingon, or any Star Trek The Next Generation figures would be most welcome! A shuttle craft would be excellent as well! And while we're at it, any figures in the environmental suits from the Tholian Web would be great as well!

[Gadgeteer]

Man I am all over this 50th!!
I'm going to stock up on Type S bodies and Klingon boots.
I want to army build Klingons, Gorn and Romulans and any single bad guys that are cool like Khan.
The repro Enterprise set JUST like the one I had as a kid!

[toyman]

I got lucky this week and found a complete set of the first 14 figures released by EMCE and bridge for $225 shipped. Only one figure had a problem, a cracked bottom.

[Gadgeteer]

That is a great deal, good one toyman!

I get the feeling I'm the only one that thinks Cyrano Jones would make a good Megoish EMCE fig.

Yes, I'm fishing for, if not answers on why almost no one has discussed him as a potential EMCE figure throughout the years, then, at least some "yays" or "nays".

Maybe I'm too small of a Trek nerd, not realizing how minorly the original Tribble-provider is desired in action figure form?

I would've thought his pivotal role in such a pivotal episode would've rocketed him to the forefront of desired figures(?)

[PNGwynne]

I don't think ST:TOS fans have anything against Cyrano Jones--there have been at least two great customs of him here that I recall. Rather, it's probably that "human" characters like Mudd and Trelane are flashier and resonate with fans a bit more. I'd welcome a Jones, but not before certain others.

Favorite characters can be idiosyncratic: I really want FTC to do a Black Orchid figure, but not before Black Canary or Zatanna.

[Gorn Captain]

Cyrano is a great character, I'd certainly buy one (with a complimentary bag of Tribbles, of course).
But would he sell sufficiently?
As a company that needs to make a profit, I wouldn't give the figure the green light. Cyrano would be a peg warmer until well into the 23rd century...

[newlyknighted]

I would buy Cyrano Jones in a New York minute! Great character huedell!
