Anybody have Art Asylum Trek figures?

[Splitty]

I would kill for a Gorn and Enterprise Andorian. Seriously, I want those.
Kinda bummed they never made it to a Mugato, that would have been awesome.

I have the three Borg Assimilation figures, and I absolutely love them.
Can never have enough Borg.

[Gorn Captain]

I have the Gorn and Klingon. They're terrific. Great head sculpt of John Colicos, and a perfect Gorn.

Somewhere between the chunky plasticky giant-purple-accessories look of the PMs, and the austere blueprint-accurate fidelity of the AAs, lies a perfect playable-toy ideal. Can't quite put my finger on it-- oh wait it's Megos!

[MEMEGO]

They were good figures, however, I think they were more statue like then playable,. They did look better then playmates, and a gazillion times better then the new reboot trek figures. but they were lacking somethiong, what that something is? now that is the big question.

I have the original convention Kirk figure, and picked up the box set with casual shirt Kirk, Spock and Bones. I think they are actually very nicely done figures. I liked the Playmates figures back when they were released, but they look too odd/cartoony to me now for some reason.

Oh wait I think I found it. At least it seems to be the only picture out there:



Now begins the insane dream of scratchbuilding a replica to plug into my otherwise-incomplete display...

Bumping this thread after five years in order to brag that I found a MIB "Broken Bow" T'Pol bridge set just sitting around in a local second-hand toy store today... for 17 bucks.

Can anyone repost the picture Sideshow Spock put up of the unproduced Mayweather set? Thanks.

You're right, Mayweather was never produced; after the cancellation was announced, NewForce Comics attempted to get the set made as their exclusive, but it didn't happen. Here's the shot of Mayweather and console that AA solicited..

Dayum, I wish that'd been made.

[Sideshow Spock]

Nope, I was asking about T'Pol. I remembered the situation as 'the last one in the set was never produced,' and mistakenly thought T'pol's was that last one in the set. But this thread's set me straight; I'm positive the Mayweather was never produced due to lack of sales.

I have another favorite set from Art Asylum that I think might be overlooked in favor of the lines from the shows: The three figure Borg Alien Assimilation set. They were tall, bulky figures, around 8" or 9". The cards were designed to look like the Borg 'Regenerator' station or whatever that creche thing that they slept in looked like. There was a Klingon and a Cardassian, and here's the Hirogen figure:

Whoops! I believe spamn was asking about the Mayweather section, not the T'Pol one.

Mayweather was a guy and his Bridge module was the helm, which would have attached directly in front of the Captain's Chair. If any did hit the street I never saw 'em.

I think very few T'pol's showed up in the states. I remember considering getting one on Ebay, but deciding there was no point in fighting for one when a second Malcom Reed one would do the job visually if could deal without the sound, which I could. So I was curious if the two were identical physically.

I wish we'd gotten the Mayweather station though, I didn't realize it was a unique piece instead of another arc of the circle. Though as it is we got a cool little mego-scale bridge set. How awesome would it be if Art Asylum did the same with the TOS or TNG crew (not just Captain's chairs)?

[Hamonrye]

Pretty much. The "main screen" part in the middle is slightly different (its only a decal anyways as I recall) , and of course the sound bytes are different.

I considered it, but I passed. I decided if I was going to give them any more of my money it would only be for specific figures that 'grabbed' me, not to try to complete any particular series, like I had been doing.

Same thing happened to me, only a bit earlier around the time when figures like the Thomas Riker became rare, and then around the same the JCP exclusive Redemption Data. I got ticked, no so much that the figure was a store exclusive, but that right out of the box it became very expensive to get one on the secondary market.

From there it just got worse with other store exclusives and some figures that were very rare to find at retail. By the time the 1701s came along, I didn't care any more. I had realized that they had- at least for me- taken the fun out of 'collecting' these figures.

Since then I've sold off most of what I had and only kept certain ones that I really like, mostly TOS characters.

Did you consider buying the 1701 figs that PM released later in the 3-pack to try and make up for cheesing off people? Not like having them on card, but better than nothing, I guess.

Didn't know that, or if I did, I forgot. Is her bridge set identical to the Malcom Reed one?
