Star Trek Pre Orders starting

[mikeoz]

This is another Cyrano Jones custom I made from a Mr. C. Head. I just sculpted some extra hair on him. I also printed a custom pattern on fabric for the jacket and shirt.

[Gorn Captain]

Still need an Enterprise bridge. Some day...

[SKotK]

Oh, and heads up all you superhumans: Planet X, who had the exclusive Khan figure originally, has now dropped their Khan figure price from $39.99 to $19.99...get 'em while they're hot.

Kirk and Klingon were the first two to be re-solicited. I didn't think they were the old photos, but I'll have to see if we shot new ones. We have them in our store as a case assortment, not sure who else is offering them, or who isn't, and why not.

I assumed those were old photos since I didn't expect the figures were ready yet when the announcement was made, but maybe that wasn't the case. They don't appear to have painted faces though, which could be a good sign! In any case, Entertainment Earth is doing pre-orders for Sulu/Gorn and Spock/Khan, but not Kirk/Klingon for some reason. However, I do see Kirk/Klingon on the DST site pre-orders.

I guess since the new pairing is Spock/Khan instead of Spock/Andorian, we're not getting the Andorian this time around (unless it's being paired with something else).

Kind of surprised there are more Enterprise Bridge Playsets being produced...I was under the impression they didn't sell that well, but I could be wrong! Happy to see them again regardless.

I was watching The Cage again last night, and realized I'd love to see a Talosian produced based off the old Mego figure but with more accurate clothing...

I looked at Stanley Adams' Wiki page. Terrible way to die, poor thing.

And that Cyrano Jones figure was very well done.

[PNGwynne]

^I believe that's a CTVT Howard Cunningham head. It would look even more like Stanley Adams with a bit of hair modification, but it's a great custom.

[huedell]

Rachel aka mainedreams on Ebay did this custom and I'd gladly pay for a production figure of similar quality.

Love that figure--- that'd be all I'd need too.

What kind of origin does that head have---it really looks like the actor guy who played Cyrano---yet it looks like a factory rotocast/painted piece---anyone know the story on that?

[huedell]

I don't expect any new figures either. It's been made clear to us by DST that maybe not even all the existing ones will be reissued. If it ever happens it will be great but I am not going to get excited expecting new characters just to be disappointed again.

Copy on that.

I think once the idea is celebrated in a few posts, it builds up that "momentum of hope"

I'm thinking the announcement of the bridge playset, a piece that seems out of your usual realm of usual happenings, had a lot to do with getting people's mind's runnin' regarding any new possibilities.

You're missing Mirror Kirk and Spock. The only others are Picard and Borg, if you want to count them.

Pike and Salt Vampire still seem to be in short supply and will set you back $40-70 generally, if you can find them.

--SKot

I'm starting to see these on eBay all of a sudden, and there going for big bucks, especially the Mirror Kirk and Spock
along with Romulan and Salt Vampire, eBay being such a big rip off, I would rather wait for the EMCE release,
I already have an order in for Spock with gold wrist bands and Khan.

[SKotK]

I missed these the first time and I'm thinking of getting them this time around. We know Kirk, Spock and Sulu are coming. What about McCoy, Scotty, Uhura and Chekov? I'd at least like to be able to complete the main crew and get the key aliens so I'm wondering about the Romulan as well. I also haven't seen any pre-orders for Kirk/Klingon but weren't they the first set announced?

They were the two figures shown in the announcement that the figures were coming back, but those were apparently stock photos from the first run that didn't necessarily mean those were going to be the first two figures again...although many of us (myself included) assumed they would be.

I don't expect any new figures (unproduced so far), so I'm not getting my hopes up. There will be some re-issues, and that's it. Happy 50th, Star Trek!

[SKotK]

Does anyone know if the Salt Vampire and Pike are still available anywhere? Or will these be released again?
Also, as far as I know these are all the official EMCE releases, let me know if I'm missing any:
Kirk
Spock
McCoy
Scotty
Uhura
Sulu
Chekov
Klingon
Romulan
Gorn
The Keeper
Mugatu
Cheron
Khan
Andorian
Salt Vampire
Captain Pike
