Hello,
I have slowly been working on a Star Trek TOS project in 25/28mm an d I was wondering I any one can suggest a source fro miniatures? I'm looking for federation and Klingon specifically,(technicians and civilians) I don't mind minor conversions but I don't want to re-sculpt them myself ;)
I have come across the usual suspects suspects:
Matakishi's beautiful Starship crew
Various figures from the RIM Alien's by Space Vixens
Victory Force's Miniatures Spacefarers
I have some of the old Mega Miniatures Bridge Crew but they have sold the molds and I haven't seen them resurface yet.
Does anyone know how i can get hold of some?
Thanks
-
I think Turnkey Miniatures (http://www.turnkeyminiatures.com/) has bought out Mega Minis - might be worth dropping them an email.
-
The only addition I can add is the old Star Trek Monopoly set with metal figures. The Minis are very thin, but you get the eight main characters in the set. You can find them on E-Bay, for ridiculous money unfortunately.
So, have you painted any figures yet? Pictures?

I just heard back from Craig at Turnkey Mini, he doesn't have them in his catalog. He asked around and found out that the molds had been sold to Goblinoid games 2 years ago, but they haven't put them into production :'(

Both 1st Corps and Eureka had some not TOS Star Trek figures at some point. Might be worth dropping either a line.
EDIT: They are these:

We have picked up Matakishi's original starship crew which we are in the process of re-moulding and looking at releasing them early next month

They look lovely

Don't know about size, but I think I saw the clix Tactics figs are on deep discount somewhere.

Excellent :D

Seems to me like you can find the 7-figure pack somewhat regularly for a fairly decent price (<$20 USD), and individual figures can be found on eBay.
These are, of course, the versions from the JJ Abrams movies, so I don't know how useful they would be to the OP, but the costumes are pretty similar save for the more noticeably textured shirts, and if going for generic Starfleet crew rather than specific characters you could easily repaint some shirt, hair, and skin colors to make them less recognizable as the movie characters. You could even do some easy conversions to make some of them into Vulcans, Andorians, etc.

Good to see those still around :)
-
Thanks guys will let you know once they are available again
I might repaint the shirts in red,blue and yellow as I am not sure about the green the idea was to move away from the obvious Star Trek use as I thought people would get what they are anyway
Now I think the coloured shirts would work better
Mark
-
So will these casts be as difficult to assemble as the last ones? I'll still get them either way, as I have a love-hate relationship with these figures. I was just hoping maybe you'd improve them somehow.
-
Hi Michka
Sorry they will be pretty much as they were apart from the removal of the badges as I think the badges take them a bit close copyright wise
On the bright side I did think about expanding them by using the original bodies and adding fixed arms & heads to make up some new one piece castings
This will of course depend on how well they sell but it is something I would like to do
Mark
-
Less talking Mark, more casting :D

I'll still be buying some. As difficult to glue them together as they are, they're the best Not-Trek figures available. The chance to get new arms is really cool. I have a lot of your Federation Troopers already and I'm damn impressed with the quality you produce, so this is all good news.
-
Here's a bargain for you. They are a bit on the tall side, but for the price a real bargain...

That's it!
Course, not sure how postage will work out for the UK. We're ALL whining about how shippage cross pond has been getting both more dear AND just a pain in the arse.
Doug
-
Ebay has been especially painful. Buying stuff from the US seems to go through some expensive shipping service now where you also have to pay import duties up front. >:(
-
Awesome news about the matakashi originals returning. Felt bad I missed out on them them the first time around.
-
Just a quick update that I have heard from my mould maker and I am expecting the moulds back for the star ship crew anyday so hopefully we will be looking at a release this weekend if all goes to plan
Technicians are a good idea so I will add them to my list of to do's no promises on when though

There's also Victory Force Miniatures Spacefarers line. Look to be mainly TNG but there are some uniforms that look more like TOS movies rather than the show. Scale-wise, they should fit right in.

I was aware of Victory force and thought they were a little on the large size.
Can anyone post a comparison picture?

A quick update to let you know that Brian is working on two new crew members in action/advancing poses to add to this range
Both of them will be one piece figures and I will post some pictures as soon as they are ready

Greg,
Brian is still working on them and I have got him tinkering with the original bodies to turn them into some one piece figures so I would imagine we are looking at early next year
Mark
-
Some on ebay currently, or were. Not my bag but found them on a 28mm sci fi search request.
Good hunting. ;)
-
Anyone know if the Mega Minis TOS Klingons are still available, anywhere?
I could use some of them.

Unfortunately the Mega Mini "Bridge Crew" are no longer available. Goblinoid Games bought the mo;ds but have yet to put any up for sail :'(

Brian has finished the first two figures and is working on making some variant figures using the original bodies but I haven't got them yet as he is going to ship them all together.
I will email him for an update this week & post back

Mark,
Those look smashing! I picked some up over Christmas, they are patiently awaiting me to finish a few projects I already have on the go.
I look forward to seeing the new figs
Greg
-
Those do look superb.
I inquired with Goblinoid, but never received a reply back, so looks like there are no plans to re-release them anytime soon.
A shame, really.

That is great news and a fantastic addition the to range.
Are you still considering the jumpsuit crewmen and women?? I could preorder a nice handful to help the priority if it would help. ;)
Red Shirt,
Still looking for more of your work, great painting!
Thanks

Hi Mac
Yes I would like to add some jumpsuited engineers probably a pack of three but I will have to discuss it with Brian as it depends on what sculpting jobs he has on at the minute
Also I am pretty tied up getting the alien shock troopers ready at the minute as well as some 20mm projects so it is probably going to be a couple of months from now
If people are interested in funding them via a pre-order similar to the aliens let me know and give me some ideas on what else you would like to see

I hope to get back to some TOS soon
