The team at Master Replicas has announced the launch of a huge program to deliver action figures based on modern era Star Trek series for fans. The company has shown off their first wave which includes characters from Strange New Worlds, Picard and fan-favourite animated series Lower Decks.
Starting this summer, they will be releasing new figures every month, kicking off with Admiral Picard from the third season of Star Trek: Picardand the Strange New Worlds version of Spock.
“I’m so happy to be doing this,” Ben Robinson, who runs the program along with Eaglemoss’ Starships collection, tells StarTrek.com. “The new shows have been crying out for action figures. There are a lot of collectors out there who already have Playmates figures and I want to give them the chance to bring those collections up-to-date by adding characters like Pike and Mariner. As always, we’re going to go deep and I’m excited that we’re already working on Ortegas and Tendi.”
Master Replicas selected Spock and Picard to lead the new program to showcase two of the most iconic and important figures in the history of Star Trek — a representation of Star Trek‘s beginnings, its rebirth, and its future.
Each figure will come with a variety of accessories. The Spock action figure will include a Phaser, Phaser Holster, Tricorder, and Communicator. Picard will come with a phaser and PADD.
Master Replicas acknowledges nothing has been more popular than the classic 4.75″ figures from Playmates, which first debuted in the 90s. Recognizing the place Playmates figures have in a lot of people’s hearts, they aim to continue the story of action figures at that size. This new programs does not ask fans to rebuild their collections from scratch, but to add to what they already have.
The Spock and Picard figures are now available for pre-order from MasterReplicas.com.
