I searched for information or pictures about these and couldn't find anything, so I thought I would start a thread. I got Kirk from ebay a while ago and finally got a Spock to accompany him a few days ago. They're pretty nice, although they definitely feel like "older" PFs. They still use the old wire armature body with the "articulated" arms, and in terms of their paint job and tailoring they seem a little rougher than what I'm used to. Spock in particular seems a little doll-like in his paint job. Also, they both use the exact same sculpt for their left hand, which looks a little strange.
The sculpts are really quite good. I don't know if these two are just hard to sculpt or there just haven't been many first-rate sculptors to try, but I don't think I've seen better versions before. That's not to say they are perfect. Kirk in particular can look a little strange from some angles (his face is sort of too wide). Still, it's very obvious who they are. Just compare them to this Kirk and Spock to see the difference.
All in all, I like them pretty well, and they'll go well with my mini Trek display that I'm building up. It's too bad they never made the other crew members.
