Playmates Toys Star Trek Debut In 6 Days

These things look terrible. They look like 90's action figures but with more (not necessarily better) articulation. Just look at those thigh gaps. Holy Hell. Playmates has never been that good at "High Articulation", but damn they gotta do better than this. And what's up with those face sculpts? Everyone looks like Data but with different pigmentation and facial hair. A franchise like Star Trek deserves better than this. Hardcore Trekkies are gonna get these cuz they have nowhere else to go, but for guys like me, fans but not fanatical, we're gonna see this one as nothing at all is better than money spent on bad, subpar product.

Not sure why people are saying these are just like the originals. The originals were 5POA. These have the styling of the originals but with additional articulation, similar to MOTU Origins. That makes me much more likely to buy.

My word do you forget just how awful these look until you see them in the news again, lol. Easy pass.

I REALLY wanted to like these, but they're just not good.

Shown below are updated images for the first wave of 5" Star Trek figures coming from Playmates Toys. For Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (James T. Kirk, Captain Spock, and Khan Noonien Singh), Star Trek The Next Generation (Lt. Commander Data, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and Commander William Riker) and Star Trek Discovery (Commander Saru and Science Officer Michael Burnham) figures. These are in stock now at Amazon.They are also doing the USS Enterprise from The Original Series but that isnt available at Amazon.

You can also still pre-order all of these from our sponsor Entertainment Earth.

Really want to see these next to the old vinty ones in box

It looks like they took the stands from the JJ figures.

Accessories look like from the original playmates toys.

Figures and Sculpts look new.

I have all of the playmates Toys from Star Trek including the ships. But 5 inch figures?now?

I might buy the Star Trek next generation figures to go in with my old collection.

We need to see what that ship looks like and what it does.

For myself I am definitely not interested in anything from discovery.

In January we gave you a look at the new 5" Star Trek figures coming from Playmates Toys. For Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (James T. Kirk, Captain Spock, and Khan Noonien Singh), Star Trek The Next Generation (Lt. Commander Data, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and Commander William Riker) and Star Trek Discovery (Commander Saru and Science Officer Michael Burnham) figures. They are also doing the USS Enterprise from The Original Series.Today we bring you images via Steve Adams from the 2022 London Comic Con where Playmates had their Next Generation, TOS Enterprise and Discovery figures on display which you can check out below.

You can pre-order all of these from our sponsor Entertainment Earth.
