This reminds me of those horrible Dick Tracy figures.
Besides some decent likenesses, really the Playmates Star Trek figures aren't that attractive. Even at the time, they were clunkier than some nicer lines, like Super Powers, which came almost 10 years before. I will give them points for never going the 'roid rage route like Total Justice and GI Joe:Extreme. But they had big hands and squatty bodies.
This is a step down from those even. If I ran a toy company, I would never release pictures like this. Even if this is a VERY rough prototype, it still makes me think the eventual production figures will look bad.
