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.

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/

Star Trek Bandai Catalogue (1996) First Contact, Warp Factor + Limited Edition Beverly Crusher

This second batch of images is from Bandai’s 1996 catalogue. Understandably, the First Contact movie range is highlighted.

You can also check out solicitations for the first three waves of Warp Factor figures as well as the introduction of the hard-to-find Beverly Crusher in movie uniform!

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.
