Just a month after The Nacelle Company opened preorders for its first wave of Star Trek action figures, it’s time to learn about the second wave of character releases coming later this year!
Joined by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer, Nacelle founder Brian Volk-Weiss — who we interviewed on WeeklyTrek earlier this month — took the stage at WonderCon today to talk about the company’s Star Trek ambitions, where he unveiled the next ten characters coming to action-figure sizing.
Nacelle had already disclosed the headliner from Wave 2 a few weeks ago, when they showed off a prototype of Captain Kirk from Star Trek: Generations (figure #9) during New York Toy Fair — and today they have expanded on that announcement with a look at the expected Nexus-fantasy accessories coming with the Kirk figure: his breakfast eggs and dill weed, an axe and stump to chop firewood, and (incredibly) a horse to ride.
Nacelle has also confirmed that they’re expanding future waves to ten figures, up from eight figures in the initial roll-out — which means today there are still nine additional characters to tell you about!
Captain Kathryn Janeway from “Year of Hell” (#10) is next, with the figure expected to come wearing her signature purple-grey tank top from that episode. The Star Trek: Generations love will continue with as both Worf (#11) and Geordi La Forge (#13) will come wearing their 19th-century sailing ship uniforms from the early part of that film.
It’s only fitting that T’Pol (#12) will be this wave’s Star Trek: Enterprise character, following her recent Star Trek: Lower Decks appearance, and she’ll be wearing her Season 3 blue uniform — but she’s not the only pointed-eared character in this set, as Valeris from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (#14) and the Romulan Commander from “Balance of Terror” (#15) will join her.
Somehow, Playmates Toys never got to her: Nacelle will introduce the first Carol Marcus from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (#16) figure in their second wave. Ferengi fans are sure to be pleased by the inclusion of Ensign Nog (#17) as this wave’s Deep Space Nine character, and then Wave 2 will conclude with the green-skinned Ari bn Bem (#18) from The Animated Series episode “Bem.”
We don’t yet know what accessories will come with these next figures, but based on Nacelle’s first set of characters, you can bet they’ll be very specific — and somewhat unpredictable!
The second wave of Nacelle Star Trek figures are expected to go up for preorder later in 2025. In the meantime, fans in the United States can still preorder the Wave 1 figures at NacelleStore.com.
