Jad Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah.... what is that? I get that the new uniforms have a different texture than the classic ones, but that does not translate at all well to a figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope she doesn't log on here otherwise we'll have "Star Trek V-The Wrath of Gran". Obviously she's not a great knit like her grandson :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 At least it has the words that the final version might look different. Maybe the uniforms will be made to look more like pasta noodles before the big debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Umm...eww?? Seriously, i'm no die-hard ST fan, but even i'd say that sucks. They really should change that banner that says "Item shown may vary from final product" to "Item shown is some crap we threw together to give DST the license to make ST movie minimates." Wow; that'd be one hell of a long banner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 crappy figures for what almost surly will be a crappy movie, Abrams is so over rated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I saw the Star Trek Playmates figures in Target today - Blah! The 3.75" figures aren't really good representations and the heads are small for the bodies. They also look like they lack articulation. The build-a-bridge bits are also pretty cheap with $hi++y looking decals. The only good news is that they're under the nearly $8 pricepoint that's been set by SW and Marvel 3.75" The 6" line is a little nicer, but there aren't a lot... not a whole crew.... yet(?) And for about $2-$4 more, you can get really nice DST figures with much better detail. The role play stuff is the worst - if you wanna scan something or hail the ship or vaporize the crap out of something - then DST's Trek Tek is far superior. The lights and finish of the Playmates role play is just cheap. When I see that stuff, I can't wait for my science tricorder from DST And - by the way - the flip-type phaser emitter is just lame. As for the lights & sound ship... the only thing that is saving it from judgement is the fact that the box doesn't have windows. Evasive Action - steer clear of this stuff.

groundhog7s Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hopefully, these'll be on clearance en masse sometime. I'd love to see those bridge sections used in a cool diorama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
