So I was just reading on icon heroes facebook page they now have the license for the Star Trek franchise, could this mean they are going to do some trek mates in the future???

Could it maybe be a new boxset of just minimates, and not a vehicle set?

Welcome to the boards, Paranoid Professional! I can tell that your 1000% close-up photographs of 2-inch tall toys is going to drive me -- and the rest of the board -- crazy, for completely different reasons. But they're very detailed!

Whoa! A personal welcome from Zach! Thank you!

I understand your point about the 1000% shots. I'll put the macro lens away.

I really love the new Trek line. Minimates have activated this odd hoarding trait that I never knew I had. Even though I have multiples of the TRU and LCS sets I find myself buying MORE sets. I can't explain it!

This is what minimates do to you...Welcome.

So did anybody hear if the ships are coming out this week yet or not? I hope so, it's been a long wait!

Zach,

With the rash of bad faces on 7 of 9, do you think DST will make a batch of new heads to hand out through customer service? Or possibly include a head in a future pack, a la Thundercats?

Thanks!

Luckily, I found a couple good ones, but I hope that this wouldn't affect future sales of the Star Trek mates...

I've been meaning to ask, what exactly is the thing on Janeway's wrist?

I think it's supposed to be one of the forearm-mounted double flashlights they often used on the show.

I think its the thing they used when they boarded a borg cube or when Janeway rescued 7 of 9 from the borg queen, so they wouldn't be detected, some kind of shielding device they had to keep adjusting once the borg sensed them...I think.

^{All of the figures are very nice and I hope they continue to be produced for a long time to come. That being said , of the 7 of 9 packs that I've seen, 2 were perfect and 3 varied in different degrees of their eyes and mouth being off center from way off to just slightly.}

weren't people asking for an updated Carnage too?

Packaged TRU samples are in, so look for them in a month. Sample case even sooner.

Very curious to see an in-hand review of the Pods Enterprise. Plan to play with one next week, but I'm antsy.

some tray shots would be nice please....

Any chance we might be able to see some tray shots or something of these Zach? I'm curious to see whats up with 7 of 9's borg implant thats attcahed to her hair piece...if its silver or mispainted like the picture on AFI. Thanks in advance if you can do this.

I thought that too. Maybe it was a simple missed paint app, but I think it looks too thick. I think it would be better as a face tampo actually.

I was hoping for it to be on the face tampo too, i think it would of looked better...but like i said either way i'm happy to have her and all the others.

Looks like like in that package shot of 7 of 9 they painted the implant by her ear the same color as her hair and not silver. hopefully this won't be the case with all the figures made. if it is, i guess its an easy fix, I'll just be happy to finally have her in minimate form!

has anyone said whats going on with the forth boxset?

they said on thier facebook page awhile back, that they had designs for pumyra, bengali, and lynx-o done for the 5th boxset as long as sales were good. nothing was mentioned about the 4th mate or anything else.

Has anybody recieved a shipping or tracking confirmation from afx yet? I got a notice they'd be shipping soon last week and they charged my card, but no follow up emails or anything yet.

on their facebook page they said their not sure why they aren't on the shipping list, but they think they ship the same time the enterprise does...so May possibly??

Done and Done

I've Pre-ordered series 3 with AFX. Can't wait till they get sent out.

were there any pics, mav-man?

no, unfortunatly not.

On Icon Heroes facebook page they confirmed that lynxo, pumyra & bengali have been designed and are going to part of the 5th boxset as long as sales do well with the 3rd and 4th set. So buy lots people!

I believe we are being punished by Zach because of some the way this topic went....

I asked a question on icon heroes facebook page about a 5th boxset and their reply was that they do have a 4th (as we know), and 5th boxset lined up...depending on sales. So hopefully we'll see who that 5th set has in it soon.

So the are the tru battle beast bad guys suppose to be different than the LCS bad guys? They are the same figures with different paint apps, but their names are different too.

As long as 7 of 9, & Janeway get produced, I'm happy with any Star Trek mates that make it to minimate form!

Very excited for these guys! Any idea when we might hear who will be in the tru wave Zach?

Chuck did mention Buck Rodgers in the Q & A, and said no 8 inch retro mego figures for the line, so....
