    Not surprised Trek bombed they looked terrible.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      I thought the Trek "Gorn" and "Vina" looked fairly good, especially for the small size.

        Most of these things look like cereal prizes or Happy Meal toys, not $10 action figures.

            It may just be the case of catching one at a toy fair for a reasonable price.

              exactly! overpriced junk,terrible likenesses on most of these...they are not worth the $10 price tag

                I personally love the Star Trek figures and they are working on more, so I guess I'm not alone. I always wanted these alongside my Star Wars figures in the early 80s. I never cared for the scale of DST or Playmates figures in the 90s . So when Funko announced these I was skeptical because of Playmates 3 3/4" line for the 2009 movie! Could these be better? Yeah Hasbro could have done a super articulated line, but they aren't even doing that for Star Wars all that often anymore. My greatest hopes are that Funko keeps up with my 3 3/4" wants, DST sticks to the Star Ships, Roleplay and Retro- Cloth figures and maybe Figma do a line of 6" Star Trek! Oh, and Mega Bloks has sets for all the various Treks over the last 50 years!

                  I have little or no nostalgia for Kenner-style 3 3/4 figures because I had pretty much stopped playing with toys by the summer of '76. If I had grown up playing with these little plastic guys, their appeal would probably be much stronger.

                        Definitely snagging this one. I've got most of the other Horror figures already.

                          This is odd. I've seen everything at my Barnes/Noble, including Bubba, last month. He was on a peg with Pinhead, Jason, Freddy, Etc...

                          I passed on Invisible, Bride and Gorn. Should have bought them, but 10 for Halloween ornaments is a maybe.

                          TRU had several of for online clearance. Prices were more reasonable, around 6/7.

                          I think they would have had massive sales if they followed the GI Joe model. I would have killed for a Joe-scale Predator as a kid. Maybe it's a patent issue.

                            for kids, just adult collectors, kind of sad in a way.

                              ^yep. I had to sift through them quick fir my kids. Sloth startled them, forget the slashers.

                              Predator and Alien at that scale works for kids, though.

                                Of course it is going to bomb when you have a dozen Spocks on 1 peg and nothing else at all (TRU).
                                They pulled that Spock move at the Buffalo Toys R Us I visit as well. 12 Spocks sat there all summer, then all of a sudden they added the second wave.
