i really don't see the point, Diamond/Art Asylum had similar design aesthetics so it's nothing new or ground breaking.

I did some research, and apparently this news won't affect DST's Star Trek license, which will continue. I guess they have a Reliant electronic ship which was announced a few yrs ago and may actually be released this year

I haven't collected modern Trek in many years, but DST's Trek ships are the one thing that have almost brought me out of retirement

Thank you! I thought it was just me...

I haven't even given McFarlane Toys a thought since like 1998. If someone told me yesterday that they had gone out of business years ago I wouldn't have know the difference.

well they don't make toys, they make nicely detailed statues with limited articulation. They were game changers in that department but not really my bag.

I know they make Walking Dead figures, but I have no interest in that license at all. Beyond that, I haven't thought of them in years either.

This doesn't have me all that fired up, either. I can't see what they'll do that hasn't been done to death already. They may have some new ideas, but the Mezco stuff and the Qmx are all I'm interested in at this point. But we'll see what happens.

The only McFarlane toys that were any good to me were the very first series Spawn
and Angela figures. I had collected Spawn , Wetworks, Youngblood and the rest
back in the 90's and wasted a lot of time, and money, even traveling to other towns in Calif
to find these. One day I sold all of them for a fraction of what I paid and never looked back

The Walking Dead building/lego type toys McFarlane makes look kind off cool and interesting, but nothing else they make has cought my eye in a long, long time. Star Trek building sets in that style could be cool though.

I have to say can't remember the last time I bought McFarlane stuff, the best stuff they did imo was the original spawn and wetworks figures and the monster pmaysets and the playsets they did from the spawn movie, I remember a lot of the later spawn stuff being expensive and really fragile

The Movie Maniacs line was pretty impressive. They did a lot of figures that no one else has still touched to this day. Brundlefly, Norman Bates, etc...but they were fragile. Too bad cause they did look good.

Heck, I thought their main focus any more was sports figures.
