Nacelle has unveiled the character lineup for their new wave ofStar Trekaction figures, and they’re kicking it off with the most famousTrekcharacter of all in his final appearance. The company has unveiled the first prototype for theirCaptain James T. Kirkfigure fromStar Trek: Generations. After their first wave was revealed earlier this year — now available for pre-order — Nacelle has increased the size of their waves from eight figures to ten by popular demand and also increased the number of major characters.
Star Trekcharacters don’t get more major thanWilliam Shatner’s Captain Kirk — except for possibly, Mr. Spock. The new Kirk figure faithfully captures the legendary character’s appearance inside the seemingly idyllic Nexus “time ribbon” fromGenerations, where he encounters his successor, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). It features several accessories from the film, including a jar of dill weed, two eggs, an ax, a stump, and firewood, as well as a full-sized horse for him to ride.
Who Are the New Characters in Nacelle’s ‘Star Trek’ Line?
In addition to Kirk, the new wave also includes the tank-top-clad Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) from the two-partVoyagerepisode “Year of Hell,” which saw the ship and its crew devastated by a time-erasing foe. Nog (Aron Eisenberg), fromDeep Space Nine, is the nephew of Quark and became the first Ferengi ever to join Starfleet. T’Pol (Jolene Blalock) was the Vulcan representative aboard theNX-01 Enterprisein the early days of Starfleet; she’s wearing her uniform from the third and fourth seasons ofEnterprise. Valeris (Kim Cattrall) is Spock’s protégé inStar Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: she turned out to be part of a conspiracy devoted to undermining the Federation’s peace treaty with the Klingons.
The unnamed Romulan Commander (Mark Lenard, who also played Spock’s father, Sarek) was one of the first Romulans ever to appear onStar Trek: he encountered theEnterprisein the original series episode “Balance of Terror.” Scientist Carol Marcus (Bibi Besch) was once the lover of James Kirk, and is the mother to their son, David; her work on the Genesis Project was stolen inStar Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Ari bn Bem (voiced byJames Doohan) is a Pandronian alien with the ability to detach and reattach his extremities; he appeared on theStar Trek: The Animated Seriesepisode “Bem.” Rounding out the wave are two classic characters fromThe Next Generation, Worf (Michael Dorn) and Geordi LaForge (LeVar Burton); they’re represented here in their Royal Navy uniforms from the sailing scene inStar Trek: Generations.
Nacelle’s license forStar Trekfigures incorporates the first sixTrekTV series, fromThe Original SeriestoEnterprise, and the first tenTrekmovies, fromThe Motion PicturetoNemesis. The line’sfirst waveincluded a wide range of characters, fromThe Search for Spock’s Valkris toVoyager’s Tuvix.
