Last month, Nacelle announced theirnew line ofStar Trekfigures, and at this weekend’sNew York Comic Con, the company revealed the first wave of figures. You might have been expecting Kirk, Spock, or Picard, but the new line has a few curveballs.TrekCore.comreports that the first wave will include deep-cut characters like Weyoun, Valkris, and Tuvix.
At the convention, Nacelle founderBrian Volk-Weissexplained that he wanted the line to focus on characters who haven’t had numerous other action figures already. The Nacelle line will include figures from the first five live-actionStar TrekTV series (The Original Series,The Next Generation,Deep Space Nine,Voyager, andEnterprise), and the first ten theatricalTrekmovies (six starring theOriginal Seriescast, and four with theNext Generationcrew). The first wave will consist of eight six-inch-scale figures: Edward Jellico, Peter Preston, Valkris, Rachel Garrett, Tuvix, Mirror Jonathan Archer, Weyoun, and Captain Hikaru Sulu. Preorders for the figures, which are expected to retail for under $30 USD, will open early next year; the figures will be released in late 2025.
