Star Trek EMCE

[bizzaro megomauler]

Is it set in stone that these are actually in (or will see) production? Has Diamond actually ordered them? I ask, cuz as I noted in another thread, Rick @ Newforce recently said that DST can't get enuff orders from their accounts to justify production. I just don't know if that was in reference to DST's standard Trek line, or if it also included their EMCE offerings.

I think thats is for the regular diamond lines, I have said it once and will say it again, more CHARACTERS= more sales, I really do not need another Kirk, or Spock. If you go to Toys R Us and look at the overstuffed pegs, they have mirror mirror, any movie variant, original, and more..ALL KIRK AND SPOCK! Variety is the spice of life, but PIZZA IS PIZZA no matter how many toppings you offer! The EMCEE line is awesome, because you get a super variety of figures! PLEASE DOC!!! PLEEEEEASE MUDD AND TRELANE!!!! these were no brainers for mego, and had way more play value than say Keeper, or Cheron, I need these in the next wave, NEED them. they would pair well with some crew members, say Rand, and Mudd, and Trelane with Lesllie? wondering as well If Toys R Us would shy away from an offer to carry these due to the overall poor sales of the license? If they would take them on, a nice 6 figure assortment of new figures and old favorites (The crew@ 2 per case and the rest new). It's a tough cookie, but the pitch would be "RETRO ACTION" and point out how hot the DC retros are selling due to the style. One can only hope. Kids playing with Star Trek again? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

Rick is a forum member and owns NewForce Comics, which has been the largest independent online dealer of Star Trek toys for the past 10+ years.

Rick's comment was simply that the age of the Trek figure was (almost) at end, since DST was having difficulty getting enuff orders from their accounts to justify production. As I said, I don't know if this extends to the EMCE line, or if it's in reference to DST's standard line of Trek figures.

Time will tell.

I'll have to keep that site handy. I see he has a placeholder for Mego Trek? Ask him what he knows about the Emce line. That is my only interest.

Well, and the Playmates or Diamond Phaser/Comm/LifeSize Tricorder (finally!).
:D

Thanks!

I was going to ask who Rick was and encourage posting rumors from Doc, lol.

Doc would know best. Thanks for posting Doc! God bless you and everything you touch!

[MEGOMAN]

No problem Doc. We can wait!

[drmego]

If that's the case, then why am I always e-mailing back and forth with DST?

I will discuss details when the powers that be say I am allowed to.
Until then, forgive me if I don't comment.

DVD

When I get approval from Paramount to discuss the details of this line,
I will be happy to give credit to the people who worked on these
figures with us. The answers may surprise you. Or may not.

DOC,

When you get approval from Paramount, you need to do a DVD.

I mean you need to have someone interview you and you tell the Whole story of how all this worked, and have some protypes and stuff illustrating the progress of work on each wave and I'll buy one right now!

Sell the DVD with a figure or something. It would be Awesome.

SUGGESTION:
See if they will do a Klingon Wave 3 and do the 3 Brady Klingons; Kor, Kang and Koloth! And if they want 4 figures, have them throw in another Trek Crew or do 5 figures and do the Romuluan Commander (and maybe Sarek) and the Female Romulan Commander.

That could be an Enemies Klingon/Romulan wave!

So Doc, is the reasoning for only 4 new Trek characters because of Diamond not moving forward with more or because you and Emce are just too busy with all the other lines you have planned?

I was wondering the same thing. Actually, I was hoping there might be one or two more Trek figures on tap for this year that we haven't seen yet. I remember someone (Dr. Mego?) saying a red shirt exclusive was in the works.

Where is Talos?????

What about us completists ?

Well...Doc's already stated the Jay's Captn' Eli would be released on the "correct" sized Teen Body. So if you do the math...what other use might that Body be put to?

Is the Vina head new sculpted prototype, because if looks like the shrunken Farrah Fawcett or Invisible girl head painted green.

Its the Invisible girl head,..you can tell by the shape of the mouth,..nose, jawline,..etc, with a painted on green body...but lets just remember, these are prototypes and are subject to changes...just hope they finally decide to make the human Vina instead of the Orion one,..OR BOTH!!! (one as an exclusive ,..say ,..DR. Mego?????, DST????? Planet X????.......)
