Diamond Select Toys.<\/a> This company makes some of the most brilliant action figures I have seen in a very long time. The quality is comparable to the McFarlane figures that were huge in the 90s (remember the Masters of Horror line?), but with the added greatness of 20-point articulation. <\/p>\n(In Pakled Speak that means that these figures are really fun to pose \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n
The Diamond Select figures are slightly more than double the price of the old Playmates Trek figures from the 90s. But it’s so worth it. As much fun as those Playmates figures were (and I should know since I’ve got a shoebox full of them), they were more like cartoon versions of the characters. These Diamond Select figures are far more detailed. <\/p>\n
I only have a few right now…but the force is strong in this one. I don’t know how much longer I can resist (you know what they say about resistance in the Trek world). Plus, Diamond Select has an equally amazing Battlestar Galactica<\/em> line that’s also got me salivating, especially the short-haired Starbuck and the Admiral Cain.<\/p>\n[Hint dropped in 3…2…1…]<\/p>\n
