Borg/Picard Shipping August 29th

[kerowack]

Pulled trigger on them tonight. I love these and just pray that we get a full crew. I don't see us getting past two or three waves but hope for at least riker data worf and la forge with corresponding aliens. Romulan Klingon and either a carnassian or random alien from an episode.

"Picard though just doesn't have that retro look."

Thank GOD for that. Its nice to see someone step out of that shadow. Every 8" mego like figure doesn't have to have that Retro look.

I think those look good! And if the card art is any indication, looks like the next wave will be Data / Klingon. I can get behind that too (although I admit, the card art perplexes me... are those photos for the crew but illustrations for the aliens?).

Yep.. introducing "Random Borg" and "Unknown Klingon"..

They look really good, I'm just not a big fan of the subject matter. Although if i see them in the wild, I may be swayed.

Diamond select has released a press-release on this wave and Picard does have his phaser!Picard though just doesn't have that retro look.

Following that pattern, I shall wildly speculate:

Wave 3: Riker / Romulan ?
Wave 4: Geordi / Q ?

Picard doesn't have as good a likeness as the 9" Playmates but still cool to see in this retro packaging. I can't tell from the picture but does he come with a phaser?

Painted head on Picard instead of straight-up vinyl? Trays in the bubbles? No wonder I hadn't seen production images until now. Bummer. I'm just not blown away like I was with the TOS releases. Guess I'll wait until these are 2 for $20...

CONFIRMED:
The figures are on the invoice for this week's shipment. And I am sold out of this week's shipment. Those who sent me PM's this week will be getting yours, if anyone else is interested, I can place another order for more. Let me know!

[Fuzzysnail]

I'm in with these guys, I am not an elitist as so many others appear to be about TNG VS TOS. I'd love to own the whole bridge crew.

This is great news!!!
