Some of you here are going to be rather interested in the choices for Nacelle Toys first wave of Star Trek figurines.

The complete list
  1. Captain Edward Jellico (comes with Picard’s fish tank and finger painting from Picard Day)
  2. Midshipman Peter Preston (comes with battle damage for the chest and head)
  3. Valkris (her “special feature” is “saying goodbye”)
  4. Captain Rachael Garrett (comes with fatal debris)
  5. Tuvix (comes with “unique uniform” (and a lot of moral dilemma))
  6. Mirror Captain Jonathan Archer (wearing the green TOS tunic, comes with poisoned champagne)
  7. Weyoun (special feature is “sliminess”, also coincidentally figure number 007)
  8. Captain Hikaru Sulu (comes with a tea cup and saucer)

Apart from the obvious WTFness of this list, it’s funny how apart from the first and last figure all of these character met an untimely demise.

    I guess there are a lot of lesser-known characters that I would have gone for first:

    To name some from across the classic shows: Finnegan, Vash, the female changeling, Icheb, Major Hayes.

    Aside from Finnegan (that’s just personal preference, you could do a multi-episode minor character like Sarek), all of those characters had more effect on Star Trek storylines than Peter Preston.

    I mean look at the other characters they’re going with. I wouldn’t exactly put him on the level of Rachel Garrett or Tuvix or Jellico.
