treklord Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I stopped by the Orlando Toys R Us Friday afternoon, and found a lot of figures, playsets and replica gear from the new movie, being released May 8th (It was originally planned to debut Christmas Day 2008, but Paramount decided to wait) Art Asylum/Diamond Select and Playmates offered figures in various sizes, along with Bridge display sets, and miniature Enterprises. I especially liked the full-size replica phaser, tricorder and communicator; but my favorite was the 12" articulated "Older Spock"; a right-on ringer for Leonard Nimoy!!! I hope to see movie-based MiniMates coming soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so is the fact that Playmates owns the movie license and DST can therefore not make movie Trek figures. Thank god; i hate the list of actors.

I mean, it would ive us fodder for a Sylar! And I personally love this cast. IGN's review compared the movie overall to Iron Man. Amazing cast with action somewhat lacking. It made me even more excited about Trek. And it would make a hell of a series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The only reason I want to see the movie is the cast! I have no interest in Star Trek outside of this movie (don't know why, but It looks bad ass!), but Zachary Quinto looks like he was born to play Spock.

I saw the casting for Star Trek before I started watching Heroes (before I got the first season on sale.) and before this I did not look up a picture of Zachary Quinto. But when I saw him in Heroes I thought "Holy Fucknuggets! This is the PERFECT Spock!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
