We're still cackling in delight at the first Nacelle Toys Star Trek drop, which is now available for pre-order after being revealed at last year's New York Comic Con. But it's time to stop gazing at the Weyoun figure that you still can't believe will soon join your collection, for io9 has an important announcement to make: wave two of Nacelle's Star Trek action figure line is coming!
At last, Star Trek toys have broken away from their weird history and are now delivering figures on a level that fans have been wanting for literal decades. Revealed at Nacelle's Star Trek action figure panel with Nicholas Meyer (director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) at this weekend's WonderCon in Anaheim, CA, the wave two figures kick off with this killer entry:
Captain Kirk from Star Trek: Generations – This figure was teased at the recent New York Toy Fair, and it's the only one with accompanying prototype images so far. Note the accessories: jar of dill weed! HORSE!
Here's a closer look at the accessories in prototype form:
The rest include:
Captain Janeway from the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Year of Hell”
Nog (Starfleet Uniform) from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
T'Pol from Star Trek: Enterprise
Valeris from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Romulan Commander from Star Trek: The Original Series
Carol Marcus from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Bem from Star Trek: The Animated Series
Worf (Generations Sailor) from Star Trek: Generations
Geordi La Forge (Generations Sailor) from Star Trek: Generations
A press release from Nacelle reminds us that its founder and CEO (not to mention noted toy fanatic) Brian Volk-Weiss specifically wanted these releases to be “made by passionate Star Trek fans, for Star Trek fans,” and drew on fan feedback and suggestions when deciding which characters to include. You'll note that wave two has 10 figures, building on the eight included in wave one.
“We're trying to take a simple, but calculated approach with this line,” Volk-Weiss added. “We want to find the perfect balance of making characters for the first time as toys, combined with doing modern versions of the series main cast in their duty uniforms. By listening to fellow fans, we have hopefully found a line up that will keep everyone excited for many years to come!”
The attention to detail was impeccable in wave one (those perfectly chosen accessories!), and we're eager to see the full images of wave two when they're made available.
As a reminder, here's who's included in wave one: Captain Jellico from Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Chain of Command;” Weyoun from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; Captain Garrett from Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Yesterday's Enterprise;” Captain Sulu from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; Peter Preston from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Tuvix from Star Trek: Voyager episode “Tuvix;” Valkris from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; and Mirror Archer from Star Trek: Enterprise episode “In A Mirror, Darkly.”
For now, you can pre-order wave one at the Nacelle Store. Those initial figures should ship out in October, and cost $29 for individual figures or $225 for the full set. No word yet on when wave two will be up for pre-order or a shipping date, but we'll keep you posted.
