GoldBlade6 here is a pic of the Borg I got yesterday,I think it is an awesome figure put out by EMCE,has tons of detail on it with the black and silver on the costume,pipes on his leg and a great Borg arm type weapon.

So...October 10th now...has anyone seen any photos, comparison photos or reviews for Borg/Picard yet? No love?

[powersthatbe]

i wasn't going to,but ordered a set from bbts,i don't expect a whole bunch either but it would be nice to see Data,Worf,Riker and a Klingon make an appearance at least

[tllgn]

i have been waiting for these figures,but EE has not got them yet,i ordered some,but the wait is hard,when
you hear that other folks already have them,i was going to buy another set anyway,so i went down
to "things from another world",and bought a set,and they are fantastic,Emce and diamond did a wonderful job.
i just hope we do see the rest of the bridge crew & aliens,i love the fact that they stuck to the art
on the package,even my brother who had megos as a kid,but does not collect today was impressed
with them when he took a ride down with me.KEEP THEM COMING!!PLEASE!!!!!

Last week I passed a comic store and ended up with Picard. I hate TNG but the visceral thrill of seeing Remego on the shelf combined with pocket money was a deadly combination. I was hoping to score an Adama but the store didn't order BSG.

The whole way home he stared at me in the passenger seat saying "you should have gotten a borg, what were you thinking?". He's a really nice figure though.

John Luke Now can " Make it So" with my Megos !

Saw these at my local comic shop yesterday - VERY tempted to pick 'em up, and probably will soon. Just could'nt pull the trigger - have to wait for my next check.

Picard and Borg are spot on, hands down two of the best figures produced in the Star Trek Retro line so far. I like the look and feel of these figures, the articulation seems improved. I don't mind the painted face on Picard at all. Great job EMCE and Diamond, keep em coming...

[Gorn Captain]

I need to pick up a set somewhere along the line...

Artistix: I just am being realistic. I realize the women are often pipe dreams so I'd be thrilled to get four waves of the lead characters when I fear we've seen the last of tng! I'd honestly be shocked to see anything past data and I don't have much hope for him!!!

Btw, awesome collection you have. I've seen it before and I return to see it every so often.

PS: What is this talk of Beverly and Deanna not being made? Did I miss something?

There was no official word to suggest such, but going by what we now know it is a logical assumption.

With DST's 7" action figures, when they left the Classic series sales declined. Same with the minimates. We were pretty darn lucky to get the final TNG 7" assortment with O'Brien, Ogawa & co.

We were also told reception to Retro Picard/Borg wasn't that great, which is why they went back to Classics with the Mirror Mirror set.

Then we have the issue with Retro Trek Chapel/Vina. Retailers flat out telling DST they have no interest in female characters. We may never see our beloved nurse or green skinned babe! (SDCC exclusive?)

It would surprise me, except for this comment:

I don't care if those two never see daylight. Give me four waves with Picard worf data and riker and I'll be happy. This is a dream come true as it is. I love tng more than all.

...which makes me believe that even with adult collectors, male figures are often preferable to females.

Sad but true I guess.

Anyway, I'll keep my fingeres crossed that we see a few more non TOS sets.

cannot wait to get my sets ,i certainly dont expect emce to do what playmates did in ,doing so many figures.
but i do hope they do make the bridge crew and popular aliens-no wesley please-that would be a death blow.

[MightyMegs]

Pics, please... someone!

I for one am buying several of each. You can never have too many Borg! I also intend to make Dixon Hill customs and several others. The quality on these is great. I'm really loving this line and I hope DST has a successful run with these. If character assortments are done intelligently surely we will get the Counselor and the good Doctor. I just wish that for those two we could get them on that great new Zica body! Also we are getting a Borg and a Klingon in the first two waves! Here's hoping for a Romulan and a Ferengi in subsequent waves!
