Okay Sideshow,
so the Star Trek PFs didn't work out ... 3 figs.
The Star Trek busts were... well...kind of a bust,
But I think the third time with a 12" line could be the charm.

> Huge, loyal fanbase (even if they are cheapskates)
> Similar uniforms and accessories
> Timeless, iconic characters perpetually seen in syndication
> only need a couple of your articulated/buck body sizes for each gender (let's say 3 males and 2 females)
> @ $39-$49/per you might get both the fan market and the casual collector market
> New Trek movie coming out in 2008 (or is it '09)


Here's what I'd like to see
TOS
> Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, Kang, Romulan, Green Orion Slave Girl, Gorn, Andorian, Mirror Universe variants
TNG (3rd/yr uniforms)
> Picard, Ryker, Data, Geordi, Worf, Crusher, Troi, Gowron, Romulan, Borg, Q
DS9 (my personal favorite)
>Sisko (bald & beard), Kira, Odo, Jadzia Dax, Quark, O'Brien, Bashir, Jem Hadar, Martok, Gul Dukat, Weyoun
VOY
> Janeway, Chakotay, Torres, Paris, Neelix, Doctor, Tuvok, 7 of 9, Kim
ENT (not a fan, but guess you'd have to include)
Bridge Crew, whoever they are.

Maybe you could release 2-3 from each series a year, starting with the captains and first officers. Add in the aliens, and you're golden.

While I loved the show myself and even went as far as paying major clammage for the Master Replicas cast signed Enterprise, I have no interest in the doll line.

There's a reason why the ST doll lines are bombing.
I don't think there are enough people who care to pay much for these things.
Also, there's so much of it out there already... and it's available at liquidation prices.

Well, looks like GG may have been listening :).
The Picard likeness is fantastic. The fabric for the uniform is way too thick, and the rank pips are huge. The buck/body could use a little work too. But if they follow my notes above, this could be a great collectible line. :buttrock:
