Man these come with a lot of good shit, like if GI Joe Classified figures came with random bullshit instead of guns, is this what Star Trek fans want?
1/10th scale seems strange. There's also this green alien guy who they're advertising with a floating head and the description mentions magnets too.
>Like his two-dimensional counterpart, this 1/10-scale articulated figure separates into three portions using innovative magnetic connections, and can be placed behind a fence to recreate the episode where he was behind a fence
Seems fun
>>
>1/10th

fuck i was kinda interested for the props
>>
>>11605250
>1/10
>only glup shittos
Lol
>>
>>11605263
I was gonna say, I would ONLY get these for the props.
>>
I don't get the 'Old-time-navy' figures. It was a brief scene in Generations and not all that spectacular to begin with. There are two (?) more figures in the next set with the theme.
>>
>>11605878
Star Trek has always had a bit of an obsession with old timey navy stuff. Captain, Commander, Lieutenant, Ensign, the bridge, ship's log, "Aye, sir", "All hands", "Shore leave", “Under attack off the port bow!” Space battles are filmed and choreographed like submarine or battleship encounters, etc.
>>
>>11605250
If they wanted to make obscure characters, fine... but why make them 1/10 where they won't fit in with existing stuff?
>>
>>11605250
Kirk is tempting me but I don't need a horse...
>>
>>11605887
Pretty sure that is Moby. These figures aren't bad for the price. But the character selection remains baffling to me.
>>
>>11605887
Is that why he hasn't been on Best of the Worst lately?
>>
>>11606074
A lot of companies either go for the same five characters that everyone always makes or rando literal who's.
It killed Simpsons Ultimates but is also what makes every new TMNT line feel boring as fuck
>>
>>11606199
I don't get why he went with such a weird scale. I mean, most of these aren't meant to be paired with each other, right?
>>
>>11605263
>>11605806
And? Nothing stopping you. What, you think your 1/12 stuff is TRUE 1/12??? Hell, the mini comic books with Marvel Legends are larger than 1/10 scale, more like 1/8. Wait for reviews before crying so hard.
>>
heh they never sell enough to support more waves
>>
>>11606204
Isn't this like the third wave?

The only Star Trek toy I own is this Ro Laren, whom every night I pray for a replacement. I also have the science and command officers from Kotobukiya and really want a ginger engineer, though they are statues which is forbidden to discuss here.

Currently I have Nacelle's Sulu, T'Pol, Worf, and Geordi on preorder through BBTS. I'm really hyped to fill out the rest of the TNG crew in sailor uniforms, then again in their Starfleet uniforms, and their side appearances like ghost-fucker Bev and Sherlock Data. Moriarty, Q in the judge costume, Picard naked and screaming. Army building Ferengi with energy whips and Orion slave girls. I'm here for all of it.

I have two of their T'Pols on preorder so when they make a science or medical officer I can headswap them to make Dr. Selar. My ultimate dream figure I'm waiting for is Ro Laren, ideally with an alternate head sculpt with the headband and some hasperat as an accessory.
>>
>>11606220
>ghost-fucker Bev
Best name ever for that version. I'm waiting for 80s workout Bev and Troi.
>>
>>11605250
dead franchise sadly
>>
>>11606222
Those would be really cool, especially in a diorama with a mirror. All of the accessories and props they're promising are really cool, I'm planning on dedicating a whole shelf and making each space a different part of the ship. In the center it's going to be the holodeck where I can swap in different props and characters from other lines. I'd love to see if they need someone to make dioramas for their figures but they haven't responded to my email about making a Ro Laren so it seems like it's kinda hard to get through to them.

Another cool figure would be Sylvia from the TOS episode Catspaw. She'd look like a generic witch so people who aren't trekkies might be interested in using her as a Sith or space Elvira or whatever, and all her props would be really cool, like a tiny Enterprise, candles, a wand, a black cat, maybe some ghosts.

I really hope they start singling out side characters with visual appeal or accessories that would make them useful for collectors who don't care about Trek. All my hopes and dreams are with Nacelle, if this works it'll be the definitive toyline for the franchise everyone will remember until the end of time.
>>
>>11606232
>or accessories that would make them useful for collectors who don't care about Trek
That's what like half of the figures have already
It's just being 1/10th scares people off because nobody considers this >>11606203 they just look at the numbers on the package

>>
>>11606241
Well, the cool thing about Nacelle is they're making awesome stuff at a very reasonable price point, especially compared to other lines like Super7. 1/10-1/12 isn't a huge difference for things like a holodeck arch or a wall of gold ships.

People keep making Trek threads so obviously there's a community interested in what Nacelle is doing, and more people will start coming here when the first wave ships. Bitching about scale when none of us have these products in our hands yet is just speculation.
>>
>>11605250
Oh man, I almost want to buy Captain Jellico to make a Dick Jones custom for NECA Robocop.
>>
I doubt this thread has anything at all to do with it, I bet there's only like 20 people here, but I can't help but notice some of these actually sold out on BBTS when they were all up last night
>>
>>11606257
I mean, these characters must have fans...
>>
>>11606257
That's when I ordered mine.

Well here are the four that sold out

Are these popular characters
>>
>>11606276
nta Weyoun anyways was pretty popular back in the day.
>>
You could make an argument for Weyoun... but no. I went ahead and ordered Shatner w/ horse just to be safe.
>>
>>11606276
Googling Tuvix looks like he only showed up in one episode
Maybe he's just under produced
>>
>>11606288
Tuvix is a reviled meme character that was the result of 2 unpopular characters getting fused into one being somehow.
>>
>>11606292
>reviled
So him selling out is like if they made the much hated character Mighty Spector in the He-Man Origins line and it'd be people buying it to abuse it?
>>
>>11606288
If anything, he's the meme choice. Like Mudkip.
>>
>>11606293
No, it's more like retards thinking they're in on the joke and not realizing they're being taken advantage of.
>>
>>11606297
I like Mudkip...
>>
>>11606282
Weyoun is a clone, right? So you could justify having a bunch of them?
>>
>>11606301
WE KNOW!
>>
>>11606299
Explain it more I don't know anything about Tuvix
>>
>>11606305
I haven't seen the episode but it's an episode of Voyager where Tuvok and Neelix get fused together and there's some right to life commentary or something.

This and Archer just sold out

This is strange because Nacelle toys never really sell out
>>
>>11606574
Trek is a much bigger license than those of their other toys, and as a result the volume of units is higher but also means lower price.
>>
>>11606574
I'm noticing that a lot of the ones from the OG movies are selling out.
>>
>>11605263
>1/10th
DOA
>>
>>11606276

>>11606574

Literally all of them still available on Amazon. Sold out where? Weyoun had been sold out at BBTS awhile back then they opened him back up for preorder.
>>
>>11606648
>the ones from the OG movies are selling out.
Those are my biggest wants. The OG films had a lot of great stuff that never got figures.
>>
>>11606652
Neca makes 1/10 product and do just fine, move along troll
>>
>>11606837
i dont fucking want figures that are out of scale with the rest of my shelf

McFarlane and neca can go to hell for all i care
>>
>>11606793
You just have to look a bit above those posts to find that answer
>>
>>11606276
Weyoun was a great character on the show and Tuvix was definitely a meme character but his episode was good. When a transporter malfunctioned, he was a fuse between the characters Tuvok and Neelix. Tuvix wanted to live even though his existence took away the lives of 2 other members of the ship. The captain ended up murdering him to bring the two back.
>>
>>11606862
spoiler for the meme episode?....

a friend of mine figured out the Tuvix puzzle:
Janeway argued that both Tuvok and Neelix would have the strength of character to sacrifice themselves so the other one could live. Tuvix begged for his life, unwilling to sacrifice himself. so there might have been something un-noticeably "wrong" with him. I mean, it was still kinda murder, but at that point it could have been her deciding to heal them both (or all three?) since Tuvix himself was, in a way, not well.
>>
>>11606223
But you Nazis just got your hands on it.
>>
>>11605250
>1/10th scale seems strange.
It is absolutely retarded until you realize several of the previous ST collector series were also 1/10.
So that makes it just retarded.
>>
>>11606837
Yeh, if you ONLY collect Neca. That's both limiting and excessive at the same time.
>>
>>11606892
It makes sense though. Greater good and all that.
>>
>>11606845
>Autism
Sounds like you're trapped, then. These are literally the same size as the old Art Asylum line.
>>
>>11605887
He's literally the best guy to make these. I just saw him give an NYCC interview, and HE educated the interviewer on the history of the Playmates 1701 debacle and how that killed their line, and stated he refuses to make the same mistake despite the studio encouraging him to pump out exclusives. He's going to make sure whoever wants them can get them, and he's very very keen on "exceeding" expectations with all of the accessories. This dude gets it, and he's the polar opposite of McFarlane.

The only thing I'm not thrilled with is it looks like we might get 2 waves per year, but that means on average you could just buy 2 figures a month without breaking the bank, so they aren't flooding the market either.
>>
>>11607029
That's really cool. It's nice when someone passionate is in charge. The accessories speak for themselves. Hope we get some Cardassians!
>>
>>11606205
lol Isn't wave 1 not even out yet? Still time to cancel 2 and 3.
>>
>>11607029
>Playmates 1701 debacle and how that killed the rind
What happened
>>
>>11607029
Kinda stinks on one hand but I'd take quality over quantity any day. Especially when the roster is a bunch of D listers.

Except Janeway literally said she did it because she wanted her best friend back.
>>
>>11607961
Didn't the actress literally say in some interview that she played the character as having some sort of mental issue because Janeway is written so poorly?
>>
>>11607965
The actress was apparently a gigantic bitch who spent the whole second half of the series seething over Seven of Nine.
>>
>>11607965
>Its....its not ME having mental issues...um....its...its...um....the character! Yeah! Thats it!
All actors have mental issues. Every single one. Source: have worked with scores of folks you know. I have action figures of actors who tried to get one friend fired and another who threw something at another friend of mine. Fun times.
>>
>>11607965
Yeah she said that
>>
>>11608021
Yeh, well... my uncle works at Nintendo.
