25/28 mm Star Trek TOS
« on: September 25, 2013, 02:26:13 AM »
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:
Eureka


1st corps

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

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

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.
