Nothing new out or nothing due for the next little bit. The new issue of White's Guide to Collecting Figures is out with some late Toy Fair coverage. They have a bit on Star Trek, but other than that, no ST other than their monthly column.
A Star Trek Exclusive 4.5" Figure is being created for the magazine ToyFare. This will appear in Issue 10, due out NOW!!! The figure planned for this is Lt. J.G. Picard from "Tapestry". The cost on this figure should be $5.00 + $3.00 S&H = $8.00. $8.00 for an exclusive ST figure is great compared to the $17.00 for the Spencer's Figures, which are still available.
Playmates Toys, Pocket Books and the Star Trek Communicator have teamed up in an effort to reach Star Trek Fans everywhere. Playmates is making a figure of Pocket Books exclusive character Captain MacKenzie Calhoun, captain of the U.S.S. Excaliber in the Pocket Books Original line of books: New Frontier. The figure will be sold through the Communicator and in an order form availible in an order form in Star Trek: New Frontier book 6: Fire On High. Call 1-800-TRUE-FAN and pre-order one today. The figure will cost $9.00 and $1.50 for shipping for a grand total of $10.50. So get yours ordered today! Shipping date: September.

Toy Fair is a yearly event open only to retail buyers where companies show off products for the upcoming year. Playmates Toys will show off thier Star Trek line! I will give you FULL Toy Fair coverage with the entire reports as I get them. Keep a close eye here for total Toy Fair coverage! During my TF coverage, my 1998 release page will be un-accessable. I will only have a listing of new products until I get the page re-vamped, which I'm in the process of doing now.
Be on the lookout for the following nine inch figures to be in stores NOW
65290 Gul Dukat
65291 Jem'Hadar
65292 Captain Kirk in Casual Attire
The figures are the same style packaging as Warp Factor Series 1 and 2. For pictures of these figures click here
Be on the lookout for the re-releases of the "1701's" - Captain Picard from "Tapestry", Lieutenant Natasha Yar from "Yesterday's Enterprise", and Lieutenant Reginald Barclay from "Projecctions" in the first week of February. In an effort to distinguish them from their original counterparts, the figures themselves WILL NOT BE NUMBERED!!! Instead the box will be numbered and the set is limited to 20,000!
