While I love the idea of a 6-inch scale Star Trek action figure line and these look good, I'm only an old school fan of the timeless original series & Next Gen. So until they get around to Kirk/Shatner, Spock/Nimoy and the rest of the originals, I'll be sitting out and patiently waiting. I don't even know most of these obscure characters in this first wave and I don't know how strong a market there would be for them but I think Nacelle is certainly taking a big risk and leap of faith that they will sell enough to carry the line forward. Otherwise, I can see this line falling short (like many of the previously attempted & abandoned Trek lines) when the sales of obscure characters become weak and they don't reach producing or releasing the original series crew that folks like me will be waiting for.

Nacelle is determined to be strange.
I'm tempted by one or two of the first wave (Jellicoe in particular), but if there's no guarantee of getting A-list characters in the right outfits, I don't have any use for just a Jellicoe figure.
Probably the last version of Kirk I'd pick (at least the last version of Shatner as Kirk), but still, I step in the right direction

Stand corrected it was Kirk from Generations that will be part of their second wave of Star Trek figures.

Hmm, I see what you mean.
The art is terrible. It has bad Stable Diffusion written all over it.
