As we catch our breath following last week’s epic Star Trek: Picard finale, let’s catch up on some of the recent news from the world of Star Trek merchandise!
The 1:6-scale engineers over at EXO-6 are keeping their production running at warp speed, as this month they teased four new figures this month through StarTrek.com, for products under development.
The first are initial prototypes from a forthcoming Star Trek: Picard product line, including Admiral Picard, Worf, and Vadic from the recently-concluded third season. The company also showcased a prototype of Worf from Star Trek: First Contact, sporting a 2373-era EVA spacesuit complete with internal lighting — and of course, a Borg arm tied around his leg to seal his suit breach.
The Picard figures were created in coordination with “showrunner Terry Matalas, costume designer Michael Crow, and property master Jeff Lombardi” to replicate the Season 3 characters in the 1:6-scale form factor.
All four figures will have release dates and pricing announced at a later time.
