^ Those look awesome! I had seen protos of Spock but I was unaware of Kirk. Their display bases are really cool looking as well. Only thing I don't like about them is that they have no articulation from the waist down, but still they look great for displaying.

Yes that was the one drawback to them

I completed the All Good Things set the last few weeks. Riker and Crusher were the last to arrive. I'm really happy with the set. Really good detailing and all new headsculpts for each of them to make them appear 25 years older as they did in the episode, except for Data, who doesn't age. Picard and Riker especially look outstanding. I'm thinking of switching the Nemesis shelf out with an original series shelf in the same style with the Enterprise and the main crew. I also got Lt. Barclay recently I pulled out my loose Playmates collection and sorted them for some pics. The Original series and movies The Next GenerationDeep Space 9Voyager

Very cool there are some of the original series lone I wish I had picked up. And while I can say I really was a collector with all my childhood toys I kept...the original series Bridge set along with Batman TAS Combat Belt Batman were the two items that really got me back into active collecting. So if it wasn't for that set and the Batman I think there's a strong possibility I wouldn't have had any post 80's toys I have now. (at least most of them)

I picked up the new Kirk vs. Khan fight set from a comic book store on Monday It's in the left-hand corner on my new original series shelf. Also I was finally able to find an original series Chekov in regular uniform that I will be receiving shortly. Currently the "mirror" Chekov is subbing for him. Also, I swapped Data's and Lore's left hands so Data could hold a tricorder or something. I thought it was silly that he had a closed fist anyway.

^Thanks Chekov finally arrived today. He was the hardest of the original series for me to find. I got all the other main characters in two-packs released by Diamond Select, but Chekov only had a single card release. Fantastic likeness, as is the case with 95% of Diamond Select's scultps. Also received the first two starship replicas released by Eagle Moss Publications, Enterprise-D and the Klingon Bird of Prey. Their detail is astounding for something not particularly big. They are about 4" tall on their stands.

I got a big box of new figures in the mail today! Mirror, Mirror series almost complete except for the very hard to find Marlena Moreau. TNG season 3 Troi, Kor, TWOK Kirk and the Orion slavegirl. Mirror Spock and Kor are among my new favorites. Now that I have pretty much all the main Diamond Select figures I want (barring Moreau, the DS9 series and the Amok Time 2-pack, to name a few), I will probably do a post of my 10 favorites with short reviews.

The original series bridge set is one of the nicest and most complete sets of any toy line imo. Definitely one of my favorite sets. I would have loved if Playmates made an actual playset of the original series like they did with TNG. I saw in a catalog a model of the TOS bridge that looks fantastic. I don't think I have the skill and painting ability required not to f@!# it up though haha.

Here is my Top 10 countdown of Art Asylum/Diamond Select Toys best Star Trek figures. 10. Worf (The Next Generation, "All Good Things")Worf, as he appeared in the final episode of TNG. A really good likeness of both his aged appearance and attire. 9. Spock (The Original Series)Terrific likeness of Spock's iconic look. His uniform, expression, eyeshadow, pointed ears and hairdo are all replicated perfectly. 8. Gowron (Deep Space 9, The Next Generation)Klingons are always great figures because they have great detail in their faces, hair and their uniforms. Gowron's head sculpt is fantastic and his uniform and accessories look outstanding. Incredible figure. 7. Uhura (The Original Series, "Mirror, Mirror")At a glance, it's hard to tell if this is an actual picture or an action figure. Her makeup and eyes are painted much better than the classic uniform Uhura figure (the one I have at least). Her sexy uniform and shiny knee high boots look amazing. 6. Kor (The Original Series)Another awesome and unique Klingon figure. His head sculpt, attire and accessories look phenomenal. I really like how AA/DST captured the difference in appearance between TOS and TNG Klingons. Top 5 soon

Firstly, this thread is amazing and your collection is something to be admired, whether you like Star Trek or not.
I never collected Star Trek toys. Quite frankly, I just collected Star Wars and wrestling figures like a lunatic when I was a kid and I never got too much into the Playmates stuff. I did have the Galoob figures but that was about it. I've recently started watching a bunch of my favorite episodes from TNG over again on Netflix and it led me here, which led me to Ebay, which is about to get me in trouble haha. I grabbed a few the Playmates figures for cheap of some of my favorite characters, but what I really want is just just a solid collection of the Diamond figures because, judging from your pictures, they look spot-on. My problem is that they are very thin on Ebay. I think I'm going to start with Crusher and Worf, but I really want a Riker (with beard) but they are few and far between and not cheap. I guess I'm just going to have to be patient. I'm going to Megacon in March so hopefully I can do some work there if I haven't got much collected through Ebay by March.
Anyway, love it all and keep it up.
