I'm a sucker for GI Joe sized figures lol

I've only seen IV (Which is a great movie) and the TNG movies. I've never a fan of the original Star Trek. Yeah, it was original, but I find that rarly is the original fiction as good as what it has become. That, and Kirk gets on my nerves after a while. Anyways, this new movie is the first thing to interest me in awhile. Only thing I didn't like about the first trailer was the inside of the Enterpise (Spefically the walls. The white of the walls are too bright).

Simply put, Picard is the superior captain

...I'm asking for it, ain't I?

As am I. While I don't think I'll get any of the figures, I'm liking the bridge playset. It looks to be easy to store and I think I can remove parts without worry of damaging it (which is good for making my own base). I might get an old Spock to go with my other famous actors in that scale (Like Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, ec.)

Vaughn likes a 8" one. Hence why he is loving the NECA sized scale.

Personally, I can only handle the 2k5 sizes.

Actually I prefer Janeway. I've never been a huge fan of Kirk...to arrogant...maybe that's just Shatner.

[GK Punk]

...Janeway?!?

[Blade Raider]

Better than Archer and many times Kirk. Couldn't tell you a thing about Sisko in comparison though.

[Roseangelo]

Janeway wasn't horrible, but Picard rules them all.

My favorite original cast movie is easily 4. The bugs in the ears thing in 2 has forever scarred me. 6 was pretty good and had the kind of send off that the Next Generation crew should have had (I'm still bitter about that, as TNG is by far my favorite Trek).

So am I, Joe's in particular. It's the only line I keep up with(the 25th).

I dunno -- I don't think there's any way to do T-hips "right." You can get some okay dynamic poses out of them if combined with hinged knees and ankles (or really good bases), but without those they're pretty useless for posing. Honestly, I'd rather have V-hips with a thigh swivel (like the Dragon Ball Z figures) -- that combination is easily more versatile than T-hips.

They do have more sculpted details, but the ones that count -- namely on the faces -- look like crap! (Well, except for the girl and Sulu. They look pretty decent.) TMNT figures don't need a ton of sculpted detail, though, since they're based on cartoon/CGI characters. And, while their articulation was lacking too, the bulk of TMNT figures (at least where the Turtles themselves are concerned) have had superior jointage compared to these things.

I do have a Martha, but the Doctor Who figures are in a 5" scale... so if I wanted to have Martha infiltrate the Legion of Doom (or something), she'd have to do so as Shrinking Martha. Granted, it's just as easy to pretend that she's an inch taller as it is to pretend that that ST figure is Martha, but still.

You're a dirty perv.

[Candy Kappa]

for a moment I thought it was the trekkie turtles XD

I asked a friend of mine who attended yesterdays UK Toy Fair in London to keep an eye out for any new TMNT offerings. He reported The Playmates/Vivid table was all Star Trek.

Just a snippet.
