For the TNG figures I wish they had released Worf instead of Riker, as having Picard, Data, and Worf we would have had at least the three most popular / developed characters from the show. Only other gripe is how weirdly small data's arms are. I don't know why they bothered making a pair of smaller arms when using Picard's would have been easier. Any figure look bad with too-small arms but it's exacerbated by the fact that Brent spiner has noticeably long arms which interestingly the playmates figure captured.
This Christmas I got a 1990s battle-damaged Riker; even if flawed, I adore this figure. I think newer ones lack this "charm" but I agree Saru and Burnham are the best of the set. Prodigy guys look very well in the photos so I'm optimistic about the future. This year is the 30th Anniversary of DS9, so maybe we'll see some figures from that show
I agree. I think the new characters are what's going to carry this line for me. I'm definitely more into them than remaking the older figures. Hopefully if they do DS9 they can be Season 6-7 versions since we never got those in the main line before
Do we know if they're planning on releasing more characters in this line? I still need Geordi, Worf, Troy and O'Brien at least for my display. Not sure whether to invest in the new ones or just pick up the old Playmates TNG figures.
I'm about to pull the trigger on these TNG updates. It's a shame they've cancelled the line and we won't get the rest of the crew but at least the old 90's figures are easily available on ebay for cheap to round out the main cast.
I got the Picard and Burnham figures for Christmas and yeah, they're decent. The lines on the back of Picard's tricorder were on the very first release of the TNG First Wave 1992 figure with the season 5 captain's jacket on rather than the standard duty uniform. So they just brought that back from 30 years ago. I took them both off their stands though just because Picard wasn't staying on it properly and I didn't want him to knock over his older Playmates and Galoob versions, creating a domino effect on my Star Trek shelf. Lol.
@@Soundout12 I had no problems with the Burnham figure, just the Picard one. It's no big deal though. The figure is standing perfectly without the stand. Lol.
@@Soundout12 True. Though to be fair some of the first Playmates Star Trek figures from 1992 didn't stand on their stands very well no matter what pose you put them in. The Worf figure immediately springs to mind as an example. Lol.
Hi' personally don't like the UK/Europe card! Firstly they don't show all the figures in the first wave and series together and also there's no mention of all the chocking hazards which are with the figure or anything about the character you have . I would of preferred they had put the different anniversary information on the European cards.I hate the way there's a gap at the back of the figures heads when the head is bent forwards! Especially Picards. One of the plus thing with the new card is that all the original cards have a crease across the back of the card because of the height of the cards. Making the new ones shorter I don't think this will be a problem with the new cards. I've noticed that on all the cards I have there's a impression of the size of the plastic on the back on my cards. why have they made the depth of the plastic so big! I don't think the new cards will last the way the original one have the card seems to be made different . Too anyone who reads this its only my opinion and I'm not being negative its just my observation and my thoughts. I'm looking forwards too the next wave as well. Does any one know the reason why the prodigy figures have been pulled back for release!. I had my pre-order cancelled.
I'm not sure what's going on with the Prodigy figures. They were supposed to be online in Fall 2022, in stores in Spring 2023, but we don't even have any leaked copies of the figures yet
The figures are nice and have all the best intentions but they're lacking the charm of the originals. I don't think these sold too well and I doubt we're going to be getting anymore of this line.

Great video! Loved the comparisons to the classic figures
Thanks! I definitely wanted to compare them side by side
A little late to the playmates 2022 stuff but hope to see more in the future

Worf would have been a stronger choice for sure. He’s the most “action figure” out of the original TNG crew

@@Soundout12 Strange New Worlds line and some figures in Picard-era uniforms would be so good!
The handles for data's accessories are removable. Mine holds his pretty good without the.
I've removed them as well for display. I honestly don't know why Playmates bothered attaching those handles
Do we know if they're planning on releasing more characters in this line? I still need Geordi, Worf, Troy and O'Brien at least for my display. Not sure whether to invest in the new ones or just pick up the old Playmates TNG figures.
Outside of the Prodigy wave, we haven’t heard of any future figures. Hopefully they announce them soon
@@Soundout12 Hopefully so! My bridge is pretty empty.

@@tgif1345 Its one of the rare cases where the stand doesn’t help lol

@@tgif1345 Oh definitely
Wow. Didnt notice the sticker for the enterprise sitting a bit higher that it should. Yikes! Wish all the decals were printed instead.
Me too. I'm guessing they went for stickers to keep it at the $40 price
I want a USS Voyager for anniversary and a figure of Kathryn Janeway of Prodigy show ❤🖖

Playmates confirmed the figure line is over now. Which I don’t think is much of a surprise
The uk packaging is same in Canada too @soundout12
Good to know! Thanks
