Nacelle Company - 1/12th Star Trek

[Lord Exor]

These all look fantastic but yikes, $30 per figure...

Isn't that pretty standard for this scale?

I would say so. I'd even call it cheap. There are figures in that size that go for 80 bucks!

I might pick the Sulu up. But if I could have the whole TOS crew and say Wrath of Khan crew as well I will be all over these!!! Maybe they would even do Chapel and Rand! I so hope this line lasts. Shame they won't be for sale outside the US, hopefully that can be changed somehow.

They're apologising profusely but I'm not holding my breath. Foolish business practice to not lock in worldwide distribution before preorders go live.

Oh well the last time I was buying action figures they were around $18 or so. Guess prices have gone way up since then.

Some current retail prices for 1/12 scale.

NECA Ultimate = $36.99
Hasbro Legends / Black Series = $24.99
McFarlane Collector's Edition = $29.99
Super 7 Ultimates =$54.99

So yeah, $28.99 from Nacelle is within standard retail price for this type of figure. If anything I'd say they're a little less expensive than I would expect, especially give some of the elaborate accessories. The Genesis Device accessory that's included with Valkris is an amazing inclusion for a figure at this price point.

I am not a Star Trek collector, but am tempted by the idea of one day having a display with just Jellico and Barclay. Two of the great and underappreciated all-time TV characters.

When i saw these, I joked to my wife that I bet they'll give Rachel Garrett a seperate, shanked head sculpt.
And they did! I was shocked, but pleasantly so.

I'm just hoping this will inspire Exo to make us a Garrett and Tuvix figure.

We need a Ronny Cox too!

I'd rather have Jellico over Tuvix, but I know i might be in the minority.

Jellico was a great antagonist, but too much of an obnoxious and unlikable ahole for me to want him in the collection.

Much like why I also ended up passing on the Captain Shaw figure.

People don't forget!

Definitely a capital D

That might be where you and I differ.
I love Shaw. He was a Day 1 purchase for me. Hell, I even had him officiate my wedding vow renewal. (Well, the actor, lol)
Likewise, I find myself enjoying Jellico more and more as I get older. I became even more of a fan after his appearances on Prodigy.
Unlike Nechayev (As an example of another a-hole authority figure), he actually seems competent and capable as a leader. Yes, he rubbed some of the Enterprise crew the wrong way, but Riker was being an insubordinate little weasel too.
As I tell my students, he may have been an antagonist, but that doesn't mean he was a villain. It just means he was in the way of what our protagonist (Riker) wanted.
