Playmates Toys 6" (1/12 scale) Star Trek First Contact figures.

Now we're getting somewhere!  👍

Twenty-eight years ago, Playmates did produce a single wave of action figures from the "prime" timeline, at a reliably-accurate 1:12th scale (discounting Riker and Worf, which were too small).  Several of these characters actually interacted with one of the obscure characters from Nacelle's upcoming line -- two, in fact, if you include alternate timelines -- albeit in significantly different sets of uniforms... 😒

Nonetheless, we've gotten slightly closer to justifying Nacelle's boneheaded decision to produce grossly incompatible 1:12 figures, when they should've matched DST's 1:10th scale (giving all but Tuvix existing figures to interact with). 🙄

I have collected every Star Trek figure Playmates Toys ever made...

...Are you hoping to entice collectors with obscure Star Trek characters they can display with their Marvel Legends figures?  Are you hoping Tuvix or Weyoun will appeal to Mezco, Indiana Jones, or WWF fans?  Or are you expecting Black Series collectors won’t know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek?

At a scale incompatible with any existing Star Trek figures...

Indeed I wasn't.  Thank you, sir!

Most likely main bridge crew members will be announced early next year.

Thanks to @sh9000, I've acquired Playmates' entire wave of First Contact action figures, most of which are a reliable 1:12th scale:

Despite their pristine, case-fresh condition (on unpunched cards, at that!), I was able to get them for less than half their original retail value (THIRTY years ago...!) because Playmates Star Trek figures have aged like unpasteurized milk. 😝

Worf and Riker aren't to scale, of course (or proportionally-accurate, even), so they'll require some customization... and the less said about their Zefram Cochrane figure, the better. 😒

Nonetheless, I'm happy to finally have a few Star Trek figures that will (presumably) scale with Nacelle's upcoming line.

The real question here is if you can get Riker’s leg to go over the top of the chair for his famous maneuver

anyone else here pre-order/support the crowd funded Tomy 1/350 scale refit Enterprise?

For me that thing is a dream come true. I had planned on eventually building the 1/350 scale Polar Lights kit, and doing the full Aztek paint scheme on it, hell I still might just for the challenge. However, I think it's great this option for people who don't have the time or skill to build the 1/350 scale enterprise.
