The Return of 8" Star Trek from Diamond Select

[RSS]

As reported in this morning’s Mego Museum Newsletter. Last week Mego Museum members noticed that Kirk and Klingon were listed in the latest Previews.* We checked-in with Zach at DST and he confirmed that this is indeed a new run of figures.* But wait – there’s more! Spock and Khan are next, and depending upon…

More...

Its a no brainer rereleasing these, but like everyone here wants more crew, I just want more aliens

[HardyGirl]

If they release the Gorn (Brady version) again, I might get that. Maybe we'll even get some Apes again!

Wonder why they're releasing Khan with Spock instead of the Romulan? I thought that's how they did it with their first run.

In the wake of Into Darkness Kahn carries more clout.

Disagree. How would interest in the JJ Abrams reboot version of Khan lead to sales of the TOS Ricardo Montalban version? I'd argue there are far more people interested in army-building Romulans than picking up a rather boring red jumpsuited Mr Rourke.

It will be nice seeing these make a come back, and eBay sellers can choke on it with there ridiculous
prices, the same ones selling museum cards for $25.00, obviously they can't read the fine print on the
bottom of the cards. a re-release of the Romulan might be wishful thinking though, there always has to be
that one certain difficult figure to get back, I recently had seen an EMCE Romulan on eBay going for $225.00
Yikes!!!! hopefully Sulu and Chekov get released again, and bring back the POTA too...

This is the perfect opportunity to mix in characters that never got released like Chapel, Vina, Original Mego Gorn, Neptunian and Talos. I also think it is a great opportunity for a corrected head Chris Pike. I have all of these except Mirror Kirk and Mirror Spock but I am willing to buy them all a second time if it would help to get unproduced characters. Team the ones that would not sell as many with big sellers and it will work. Team McCoy with Chapel, Pike with Vina etc... Would also be great to see a re-release of Mirror Kirk teamed with a new Marlena Moreau and Mirror Spock teamed with Mirror Uhura. I hope to also see new 50th anniversary packaging on these. If done correctly this could be great. And more 8 inch POTA from DST/EMCE would be too good to be true.

[ScottA]

Good. I need Spock with gold bands.

[The Bat]

KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I hope Kirk and Klingon sell well to bring on more waves. I personally would not need to buy those two other than to try and help sales for future waves.

$225 for an Emce Romulan is insane.

[callistofreak]

I had to sell all of mine, and I have a good job finally. So I'm in, GOT TO COLLECT THEM ALL !!!

As I said on the EMCE section,word must have gotten out to Ebay. Saw one last night there for $70.
