Dear Readers,

I spent the better part of the other day here trying to get our fog machine to work, why is it whenever I want to use something like that it is always broken, or missing a piece, or I have no idea how to use it in the first place! After a few hours of fooling around with it I finally got it working so that I could set up a borg shoot with DST-Matt. We wanted some cool pictures of the borg with dark, creepy lighting and fog. It looked like the borgs where either standing in a swamp bog or maybe had just put out an electrical fire with a few fire extinguishers. I think the shoot was successful, they are definitely interesting pictures, who knows where we might be able to use them! Well I am going to pass them a long and hopefully get a gallery up here on the site for you guys to enjoy.

Cough Cough*

It’s time for another batch of your Star Trek questions, so get ready to discover the truth about Nemesis Crusher, get some clues about which ships are up next and what action figures to expect in 2009! (more…)

Just in case you thought you would never see these in stores, feast your eyes

I am sure as many of you know from reading posts of past and seeing ads in previews the UQS Kirk is almost here! We have just finished up the packaging line for the UQS Star Trek Series, you probably got a look at Spock too in the gallery. We are following the new look for the Star Trek style guide and giving you a super sized window to view the super sized Kirk. At a whopping 19 inches this Kirk will tower over your regular figures like a giant, buff and awesome Shattner with a shrink ray. I picture him stomping amongst your regular figures laughing a deep guttural laugh and firing his shrink ray aimlessly, torn shirt optional of course. Okay, back to reality! He’s going to have sound so you will be able to try him threw the window, just in try me mode though so you have to buy him to get all the phrases (just a switch on his back). Pre-orders for this guy are a must because I think once he hits it’s going to be hard to find him, so you know what to do!

I think I’ve earned my pay for the week,

I think that all Sulu posts should be called “Oh my!” Hey, it is either that or “Blow’d Up” (kudos to the 6 people that remember that one). Anyway, we’re working on a pilot Sulu for some thing or another (it’s sad when the variants run together). This isn’t the best pic in the world, but all of you Sulu fans should recognize the uniform color. Stay tuned for further news on when and where you can get this guy.

Dear Readers,

It’s rare these days that I get to fill you in on any info regarding any license other than Hasbro and Lucas, but here I am working on some Star Trek stuff this week. This excites me because as seen in the Star Trek Q&A’s here on the blog, Star Trek appears to be fueling our company, so I guess a special thanks to the trekkies for paying my mortgage for me.

These little Tribbles came in while I was out of the office, so I was unable to see them as a family until now. How friggin’ cool are they?!?

In case you missed it due to last Monday’s Baltimore Ravens game (thanks a LOT for not re-running the episode during the week, Comcast! We didn’t want to watch it or anything), here is a glimpse at a very special scene with a very special prop replica…
