    Jerks beef with Ten Bears

    I'll probably buy most of the list (passing on the burned face Pennywise and Straight-Jacket Hannibal, as I'm not a big fan of variants), but the one I want most is Ultraman.
    "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

      I agree on this, or at least for TNG a Riker and LaForge before villains. Still waiting for TOS McCoy and Scotty and Klingon.

        Ultraman.
        Did Wonka, burned Pennywise, and Ultraman (and is it Taro?) get moved to wave ten?

        Any idea what's happened with the Lee Dracula or the Michael Myers in the ghost sheet that have been talked about for nine?

        And have Sulu and Checkov been dropped from ten (or were they never runs in the first place)?

        That's all pretty weird. Seeing as wave eight was 10 figures (11 if you count Freddie again shipping to mass market, but he's not in hobby cases). W. nine would have been 11 were the rumored figures true and had the timeline held and the three DC figures are included, and then wave 10 would have been 11 styles including the rumoured figures, and I was hoping Sulu and Checkov would be ST2, seeing as those seem to be selling well. Strange that Mego would deviate from such a simple formula.

          Bride is the only definite on that list for me. Red Death and Trek are possibilities, but I haven't decided if I am getting the TNG or Discovery stuff yet from the current wave of releases. I am glad to see there's stuff people are interested in and hope the wave does well, but not much of it falls in my spheres of interest.

                Agreed. TOS and maybe TNG. The STD stuff will perform about as well as the sitcom stuff did.

                        I think the STD will do just fine. there is a lot of crossover appeal for the line from Trek collectors, us, sci fi collectors etc. it can also bring in new blood for people who maybe are just discovering Trek with these new shows. I look forward to what Pike looks like

                            We really need a different abbreviation for Star Trek Discovery than STD. STD is something no one wants to mess with and an absolute marketing faux pas.

                              I like DISCO as a better abbreviation. I'm looking forward to putting these in my Trek display, and imagining what it would have been like as a little boy to have had a time travel adventure with these figures from the future, er, past.

                                I am interested in the ST Discovery figures as potential custom fodder but not as figures from a show I have never seen and have no real interest in. The Saru figure, with a change of clothes, should look good as a crew member on Kirk’s Enterprise.
