I was recently thinkin abt possible new Hasbro Heroes lines (or the equivilant)...... I know we always suggest the obvious like He-Man and Thundercats, but what abt Star Trek?
If you include all the series (which would be their best bet), they would have LOTS of characters to choose from. And from a repaint/repack - cost savings point of view, it would be easy. Consider all the different costumes each character may have had, and that most of the parts would be easily interchangeable or repainted. they could make them all 'teleporting' even. I dont think that they would run out of characters for a while....but on the other hand, neither would GIJoes and look at what sadly happened to them.
Anyway, what do you guys say? Possibly Interested?

it could work, but I kinda doubt it would work. if the concentrated on tos and tng it could be ok. cinema sets of each different bridge crew would be awesome.
but I imagine we would have the same problem that we have with shs an gh too many luke, anakin, spidey, wolvie's and no speedball, banshee, or other lesser characters

Hmmm......possibly. But I only suggested variants to make it cost efficient for them. I think they have enuff characters to make it worthwile, even taking from all the series (and movies).
Here's an example of what i would consider a possible successful Wave: Capt Kirk vs Mugatu Data vs Locutus Quark & Morn Tom Paris & Seven of Nine
Would u buy it?

does playmates have the toy license for the whole star trek franchise, or just the new movie?

I saw some new tos 6inch figures at tru recently, they were not made by playmates, but I forget who made them. not one of the big companies.
maybe hasbro can get a license for some old series star trek heroes.
