Technically we need two super articulated Kirks so he can fight himself (or more precisely, his evil doppelganger)!
Here's a few pics with what few other DST Next Gen Trek figures I have. The Data is custom using a Geordi (I think) body with the Art Asylum Nemesis head and hands.
Ha! I've dipped my toes in that water! I have the figuarts Civil War Cap and Iron Man, Iron Man mark III and Justice League Wonder Woman and Batman. They are really awesome, even if they're a little pricey.
I'd be okay if these were $20 or under. I understand they are a specialty line and not a mass retail line, but it's not like DC Collectibles has to pay a licensing fee. If they're like the Batman Animated figures, most sculpts are unique and there's seems to be little re-use.
I finally had a chance to open my McFarlane Picard this morning. I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the articulation. To me it seems on par with the DST (non-rubber shirt) Next Gen figures, maybe even a little better since the new Picard can spread his legs for an 'action stance'. I only wish the red of his shirt was a little brighter. I think the likeness is pretty good too. Can't wait for Kirk now!
The hard part to swallow is buying the sub and then the figures are about $28 each. The only way they're $25 is if you buy all eight at once. Seems like you should get a discount if you buy the sub, sort of a reward/incentive for signing up. Seems silly not to makes these a mass market release.
For sure. I've only been watching his review for a little while, but he seems like a real down-to-earth guy. The photo galleries on this site are usually the deal breaker for me when it comes to on-the-fence buying decisions. Very few sites do galleries like this anymore. Thanks Jay C!
Yeah, it's actually kinda confusing. McFarlane's making the 7" Kirk and Picard, but DST has shown a 7" Borg figure they plan on releasing. I say give the figures to McFarlane and let DST focus on the ships.
I do feel that they nailed Kirk's body structure and posture down, which is something most toy companies outside of McFarlane and NECA aren't able to do.
I told myself I wasn't getting into this line too, but I just ordered Flash last night. I'm weak.
Glad to see more animated stuff coming. Any idea when the Essentials Green Lantern figure is due?
Heck, I'd settle for just a Tygra and Cheetara two pack just to finish the main team at this point.
I really want these but the price is killing me. And with them being a subscription exclusive, the chance of getting a few at a lower price (ala Amazon) seems zero.
I really like these and hope the line continues. I ordered Picard online and have had a chance to see the Kirk figure. I think the likenesses are way better the the DST versions, and I think I can live with the limited articulation based on what I saw in the review. They really need to get prototype pics of Spock out there to keep interest alive.
