(The weapons actually look a lot more like old school Klingon disruptors than Starfleet phasers, but then again these aren't "Star Trek" figures at all, are they. You just painted them that way :))

True, the manufacturer does make a sprue with a more phaser-like pistol, but I just stuck with the figures "as-is" rather than converting them.

....Oh, and they do look a little bit like the pistols from the original Battlestar Galactica, don't they? And yes thatmight be a hint about another upcoming 15mm project. Who else are the Sybots going to fight? ;)

Thanks in advance for any info.

I emailed too, much earlier this year. I haven't heard anything, but would still very much like some.

I thought they were Galaxy Quest figures :~}

There was a not-Mirror Universe set of these too, right?
