The Playmates Star Trek figures are coming back. I had a lot of the 90s toys as a kid.
I know which two figures I will not be buying, though!
I was fond of the full size TOS Enterprise I had. Didn't survive my childhood unfortunately. I looked at an Ebay auction for one a few years back and was surprised at how shitty the detail was, like the ship name and registry were just big stickers. Tough toy though for as long as it did last. Also the one I had was about as old as I was.

I'm kind of surprised that with all of the consoomer shit on the market that nobody is trying to sell the big ships again like the Art Asylum ones that were new when I was a teenager. Even Eaglemoss is done manufacturing theirs so I imagine there's room to capitalize now.

Star Trek's Ferengi get the spotlight in April's Star Trek: Ferengi one-shot. Written by Christina Rice with art by Andy Price, Star Trek: Ferengi is the second release in IDW Publishing's Alien Spotlight revival. Fans recently got a glimpse at the Ferengi in the 32nd century in Star Trek: Discovery. IDW's one-shot turns back the clock to focus on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's beloved Ferengi family: Quark, Rom, and their "moogie" Ishka. The issue sees Quark and Rom adjusting to Ishka's push for women's rights in overtly patriarchal Ferengi society. That brings them back to the Ferengi homeworld, Ferenginar. Here's the story's synopsis:

"Dive deeper into the world of Star Trek with another extra-long issue focusing on the memorable aliens of the franchise!This month: Follow Quark on an unforgettable adventure to Ferenginar, where mother, brother, and brother challenge the very core beliefs of Ferengi culture. Witness Ferengi history change forever in this can't-miss issue!"

Star Trek's Alien Spotlight is a series of one-shot issues telling tales of the Star Trek iconic alien species. Star Trek: Klingons kicks things off in February.

"There is no Star Trek without the vast population of alien species calling the universe home," editor Heather Antos said in the press release announcing the project. "From Klingons to Ferengi, Vulcans to Trill and beyond, it's so exciting to delve deep into what makes each of the species a unique addition to the world of Trek, Mirrorverse, or otherwise!"

The Alien Spotlight series offers classic Star Trek storytelling in IDW"s current Star Trek line. The biggest project in that line is Star Trek: The Mirror War. The year-long event follows the Enterprise crew of the mirror universe. Modern Star Trek fans can look forward to new Star Trek: Discovery stories in Adventures in the 32nd Century.
Isn't there a Rule of Aquisition that says "go woke, go broke"?

The axanar idea was good but the longer it takes to be made the worse I see it being.

also I don’t see all the hubbub over Discovery it isn’t great it isn’t evil trannies were a thing in TNG get over it already. Lorca was pretty bomb ass and I always Stan for Michelle Yeoh.

Discovery's chief offense is less the extremely current year politics and more that it took a franchise known for pretty smart, big-idea issues and turned it into bog-standard Bad Robot long form drama, complete with constant emotional pleading, implausible worldbuilding, and constant evocations of "faith" and "devotion".

I think Michelle Yeoh is a good actress but you have to admit she is wasted on Discovery, the cringe worthy dialogue they make her deliver is agonizing in a way that not even the best actor could sell.
 
Huh you guys are right I hadn’t seen it on those terms but they do push those ideas a lot. Especially faith in Starfleet

She's a trope at best.

Like the Zhat Vash; it's the same thing there. No depth to her character, scenes too short. We know the actress can do better: she was also on SG-1 and Atlantis.

I love the liveliness and sweetness she brings to (best girl) Kumiko.

She was awesome in Tomorrow Never Dies as James Bond's non-union Chinese equivalent.
