Has anyone picked up the new Star trek 12" figures?

[AlanJG1]

I stopped by TRU yesterday and saw an assortment of the Star Trek figures from the new movie. The 12" figures looked just like the prototype pictures. Kirk was the worst sculpt and looked like a pinhead. The best looking was the Old Spock figure which actually looked like Nimoy.

I am wondering if they have the same body as the the older Playmates 12" figures. If they do, I will probably be skipping them at $30.

I haven't been anywhere to look at them, but from what I've seen, they're a pass. They are better than the Barbie ones though.

I'd be curious to know this too. If they are on the old Playmates 1/6 bodies they're a definite pass though.

They all look like crap, but the barbie unis might actually provide a better fit on real 1:6 figures than the Playmates versions.

Did Ada Chan sculpt that Kirk head? (I kid...)

It's too bad these aren't a little better.

i saw these at TRU but passed them pretty quickly. i agree with ironman. the barbie outfits look like they will fit the standard TT or 12 inch bodies better than those playmates. i just need to find some good sculpts. these look like crap

Yeah, the Barbies might look a bit more "realistic," sadly.

I didn't realise the new Star Trek porno was getting its own line of figures

Man, every figure from this film looks like ass. What a waste of plastic and Chinese labor. These will be in the discount bin by Memorial Day.

COOL!!! Cheap background fodder!

hell no.....

The Barbie Uhura looks awesome.

Everything else, not so much.

Edit: I edited my message, after I realized how Barbie-like these figures looked. So, I guess they'll be making Star Trek Ken and Barbie compliment these "dollies"?

Kind of off topic: I just have a strong feeling that the new movie will fail with the old fans. And I can just smell a new Star Trek kiddie cartoon series on Cartoon Nework.

i really hope i enjoy it. i am so excited for some new good star trek. last few movies really haven't been all that good, and Enterprise wasn't that great either.

Well, Enterprise wasn't exactly canon to Trek . But, I know what you're saying.

Anyways, this toy line doesn't look very promising...

The 12" figures are actually pretty nice, especially at $30 each. Of course, if you're expecting Enterbay or Hot Toys quality at that price, you're going to be disappointed. I'll have a review up of the Kirk and Spock on Thursday, and I already covered the very disappointing 3 3/4" stuff:

Great review! The 3 3/4" stuff looks terrible, and Kirk indeed has that Miles O'Brien feel to him (judging from the pics).

You're right though, for $30 piece we shouldn't be expecting much in terms of quality. But, I can't shake that Barbie vibe that the 12 inchers are giving me. And Kirk looks like he's a new member of N'Sync ...
