Spotted Online – 3.75-inch Star Trek Action Figures
I thought I didn’t care about the new Star Trek toys, thinking they would be 6-inch scale pieces, but then Action Figure Pics posted info and photos for a 3.75-inch series.
The Star Trek Galaxy Collection will require at least a glance, since Playmates is promising that the figures are “highly detailed and articulated.” I’ve never been a giant Star Trek fan, but I’ve enjoyed the occasional episode and movie and I wanna see how these stack up to the other 3.75-inch figures that are currently on the market. The photos at the Playmates site don’t give me much hope, though.
Plus, each figure in the series comes with a random bridge or transporter room playset piece. Now that’s a cool idea for a packed-in extra.
More photos and information are available at the Playmates site. Take a look at the larger pics and I think you’ll see why I’m not expecting much out of this series. Who designed these things, the DC Universe Infinite Heroes designers? Look at that Original Spock’s elbows.
The 3.75-inch figures don’t look as bad as DC Infinite Heroes. That said, they don’t look much better either.
Saw them on toynewsi a couple days ago I think. Much as I would like to add to my 3.75″ collection, it looks like they use swivel type legs, bleh. But might pick a few up just to go with Star Wars.
