Nurse Chapel and Vina release date?

[MEMEGO]

maybe they are waiting for the next trek movie, so that they can ride on its tail, you know big movie, people buy stuff related to it.

I really hope it's not the end for the retro 8" Trek figure series.

I don't see how or why the new movie or even the one currently in development would be expected to generate any interest with the original series figures. It's a different cast and so on. I'd much rather lay blame onto Playmates before I blame a successful movie. The original Star Trek stuff is still in demand. Did too much time transpire from now and the last wave?

[Meule]

Yeah, I hope we get to see Chapel and Vina. And many others after that

Retro Star Trek Nurse Chapel and Vina

Dr. Mego,

Since I often see requests for information about Nurse Chapel and Vina, are there any ways the community could make enough requests to get Diamond Select Toys to put them into production?

Would you know if e-mails from comic retailers and individuals would do it? How about a sponsor?

If you can offer any suggestions, they would be appreciated.

Several years ago, one of the Diamond reps tried to convince me to take on an exclusive Nurse Chapel. Financially, there was just no way that I could, and I was afraid I'd end up with thousands of them if I could somehow put together the money. I wish I had been able to, because I really want to own that figure.

I wonder if the museum could get one made as an exclusive.

[JediJaida]

I wanted the Female Romulan Commander, curse the luck!

Now it looks like we'll never get it. *sigh*

[drogge]

What a shame we may never be able to add Vina and Chapel to our collections. The vendors have it wrong, these would have sold briskly, they are both desirable and we want new characters. To bad they did not pair Pike with Vina, and Chapel with Vampire. I really hope these get made...

Diamond Comics orders product from Diamond Select Toys based
on commitments from retailers at Toy Fair. Given the retail
(e-tail or brick) environment - especially comic shops - there has
not been enough commitment to green light Chapel and Vina.

Organize the Star Trek fandom to commit to buy Chapel and
Vina. Collect pre-orders and when you hit 5,000 - and have
a good sized retailer behind it - I will call Diamond and connect
you all.

That's a shame. I was really looking forward to those two.
