Star Trek Playmates 1995 Catalogue Part 3: Deep Space Nine & The Original Series

The final selection of images from the Star Trek Playmates 1995 catalogue features Deep Space Nine and the Original Series.

Its unusual to think that the Wave 2 Deep Space Nine figures - featuring characters and aliens from the shows first two seasons - debuted on toy shelves as the show entered its seminal 4th season.

Of special note is the electronic USS Defiant being advertised a full two years before its debut alongside the Warp Factor series in 1997.

Check out the preview for Star Trek Voyager on the last page...priming fans for the upcoming adventures of the then "Captain Elizabeth Janeway"!

These images have all kindly been provided by Playmates superfan and devotee Martin Reibe.  Martin has always been a friend to the Trek Playmates community and is happy to share these images with fans worldwide.

Star Trek Bandai Catalogue (1998) Final Warp Factor Wave + Ultra Trek, Resin Dioramas & Unproduced 9" Figures

The fourth and final batch of images is from Bandai’s 1998 catalogue. 

Prepare to be heartbroken, as this final catalogue from Bandai contains the highest number of unreleased items!

Get a good look at the final wave of Warp Factor figures (including Bele!), the initial wave of Ultra Trek figures, 9” figures with changeable costumes plus statues & resin dioramas that never made it into production!

All images are courtesy of Martin from Star Trek Toyhunter.  A huge thank you from me personally and on behalf of the Playmates collector's community who enjoy seeing these images preserved!!

Star Trek Bandai Catalogue (1997) Innerspace, Space Talk, 30th Anniversary, Roleplay + Ships

This third batch of images is from Bandai’s 1997 catalogue.  The 30th anniversary range of figures is highlighted, as well as the new Space Talk range.

Of interest is the original prototype version of Beverly Crusher in movie uniform (which uses the DS9 Wave 1 Lt. Jadzia Dax body) as well as an alternate version of Captain Sisko (again, using the original Commander Sisko body from DS9 Wave 1).

All images are courtesy of Martin of Star Trek Toyhunter.

Star Trek Bandai Catalogue (1995)

Happy New Year and thank you to everyone who has supported this tiny blog!

Thanks to the generosity of Martin of Star Trek Toyhunter, I’m able to share some high quality scans of the Star Trek Bandai catalogues!  Bandai was the European distributor of Playmates’ Star Trek product until the cancellation of the line.

In this first batch of images, you’ll see the introduction of Data and Geordi in “movie” uniforms, get a good look at Lwaxana Troi’s dress and see some gorgeous Innerspace concept art.

Be sure to check out Martin’s site Star Trek Toyhunter for a look at card variations, rare figures and some great images of the TNG Wave 1 German exclusives: http://startrek-toyhunter.blogspot.com/

Above: Check out the detail on Lwaxana Troi's dress - the black "stripes" didn't make it to the final produced figure.
