Mego, the vintage toy company relaunched in 2018 with an ever-growing line of classic Star Trek action figures, is now expanding into the next chapter of the final frontier… Star Trek: Discovery!
After hopes for McFarlane Toys figures based on the three-year-old series seemed to die on the vine after the collapse of its Discovery Phaser replica product in 2018, the crew of the Crossfield-class starship gets another chance this year as Mego kicks off its line of Star Trek: Discovery figures with the Kelpien (acting) captain himself, Saru!
Here are a few action shots, provided by Mego:
Debuting in the United States in select Wal-Mart stores for $14.99 (check local availability here), the 8-inch Commander Saru figure is the first of three Star Trek: Discovery figures coming from the company, as Mego has already announced plans to follow the Kelpien with Commander Michael Burnham and Captain Christopher Pike — each expected to debut in the first quarter of 2021.
While they will debut at Wal-mart, they’ll be coming to online retailers in the weeks following — and in the UK, the Discovery figures will launch at B & M stores.
In addition to Mego’s Star Trek: Discovery expansion, the company is also adding on to their legacy series figures with their new Star Trek: The Next Generation action figures, their first outside of the long-running Original Series lineup.
After kicking off their TNG line with both Jean-Luc Picard and Lt. Commander Data figures earlier this summer, Mego now expands into the Next Generation fan-favorite villains with the impish Q (in judge robes) and the dangerous Locutus of Borg.
The 8-inch Q and Locutus will also launch at Wal-Mart stores in the United States, expected to beam down in December at a retail price of $14.99.
We’ll bring you more news on the Star Trek: Discovery additions to Mego’s action figure lineup as it breaks, along with any other notable new releases from this Star Trek licensee.
