BoneCrunchingCustomsAmazing collection of figurines. I see a lot of unique things there. How many years of collecting? Thanks. I think around 8 years. Luckily I got into it before the price on the Playmates figures started to go up. It would be super expensive to start now.

PlayMobil is releasing a Star Trek TOS Enterprise set. And Big Bad just put it up for preorder. Unfortunately it’s $500 or I would totally buy it. Oh geez, I didn't even realize there was a star trek board on here. Does anyone still collect these? I've been trying to go for full-crew playmates sets of Voy, TNG, and TOS. I have the "Bridge Crew" box set from TOS, got them loose, great condition. Only need Chapel and Rand for that and I'll be happy. I have most of Voyager as well (Including silver suited Seven) and a good chunk of TNG.
Sadly, I don't see me as being able to pick up the DS9 crew as, from what I've seen, their figures are far more pricey.
I really wish playmates still made these. I'd love to have ENT, Picard, and Disco sets to add to my collection.

Not that anyone cares, but I finally sprung for a Voy Doctor figure. Bit pricy, but then again it isn't going down in price, if I want to complete my crew lineups, I need to do so sooner rather than later.

Playmates ST:Voy Doctor came in today. Haven't opened him yet but I can tell through the bubble that he's gonna need a bath. Has that telltale grey film on him.
Hope to grab Beverly Crusher next for my TNG crew.

I have a feeling my wallet is going a hurt a ton. I loved the Playmates line as a kid in the 90s, and I would have to imagine there will be an "adult collector" component here following in the model most legacy property lines are using these days.

I've never owned any Playmates Star Trek figures, but I am very excited to see what they are going to show.

Decided to try and get a DS9 collection going since the new Playmates are going to require a new shelf anyway.
Picked up Security Chief Odo and Gul Dukat for about 5 bucks a piece + shipping.

I can deal with the price. The issue is that from my understanding, they will be made in scale with the Starfleet Academy playmates figures rather than any of the original lines. Every listing I see lists them as 5 inch which is not going to mesh right with the old TNG/DS9/VOY figures. If this turns out to be true, then I'll only be getting the Disco figures. I can put them in a separate section and not have to worry about them blending with the others. But as far as using the new figures to update any of the old playmates, fraid not.

So as cool as it is (and worth the price) $500 is just too much of a cost to justify spending on myself for the Plamobil Enterprise set. But Entertainment Earth has a figure set of Kirk, Spock, Scotty and Uhura for $20.

My Playmates ST collection are amongst my favorite things. I must take some pics....in 2007 I went in heavy and bought huge from a seller on Ebay and got absolutely everything I wanted. 4 crews..Engineering, Bridge, Transporter & all the supporting characters I needed. the dollar to Euro exchange rate was great and there was none of this customs nonsense to deal with. I still need the TNG Shuttlecraft Goddard actually.... Still lament Playmates not finishing the crew in TPM uniforms & the later Red uniforms. Saavik is one of my favorites. I thought their new figures matched the old stuff in scale? Thats disappointing...I was hoping to see them do the Enterprise cast.

I thought their new figures matched the old stuff in scale? Thats disappointing...I was hoping to see them do the Enterprise cast. The only full crew which I bought all at once was the TOS Bridge Crew set which I got loose. Everything else I've pieced together, with a few gaps. I still need Harry Kim from VOY and a few minor crew members from TNG. I also want to get Chapel and Rand from TOS and add them to the set. And like I said, I'm just now starting to build DS9. I just got Benjamin Sisko the other day to go with Dukat and Odo
Really the pride of my collection is the exclusive silver-suited Seven of Nine figure which I scored complete loose for about 30 bucks. I know it seems weird but that's the one I wanted most because I have a very vivid memory of seeing the reveal of her 'liberated' form live and thinking she was the coolest character ever.
