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"!

Star Trek Playmates 1995 Catalogue Part 2: 4.5" and 9" Figures, Unproduced Ships, Role Play & Chromium Collector Series

The second batch of images from Playmates' 1995 catalogue focus on 4.5" and 9" figures.  Look closely and you'll see descriptions of unproduced Interstellar Action versions of both Riker and Worf.  

Described (but not shown) is the Chromium Collector Series - what would have been a wave of 3" die cast figures covering characters from TOS, TNG and Deep Space Nine.

In the category of items sadly never made are the Romulan Disruptor, a Type II Phaser with Training Target as well as electronic versions of the Ferengi Marauder and Cardassian Galor Class Warship.

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!
