Mission

I have decided to focus on Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS) due to the quality of the Minimates already created.  Additionally, the Original Series is the only incarnation of the genre that has an Action Environment--namely, the U.S.S. Enterprise.  Actually, there are four version of the Enterprise.  Unnecessary, as there is hardly any difference between the sets.  The only exception to this would be the I.S.S. Enterprise from Mirror Universe.  That one is actually quite nice.  However, the other three are barely distinguishable--they just come with different versions of Captain Kirk.  It might have been better had they saved the production money and focused on other environments--like the Romulan Bird of Prey or a Klingon D-7 Battlecruiser.   

Thee presence of these environments gave me an idea.  Since the Original Series utilized the same bridge set to represent other Constitution Class (called Starship Class in the series) vessels, why not fit some of the custom figures to represent the less fortunate sister ships of the U.S.S. Enterprise.  For example, Commodore Robert Wesley of the U.S.S. Lexington.  



 Or, Dr. Carter and the ill-fated  U.S.S. Exeter.


 
Or, Commodore Matt Decker before the destruction of U.S.S. Constellation.


Or, Captain J.T. Esteban of the U.S.S. Grissom.   


Possibly, Captain Ron Tracy of the U.S.S. Exeter.


And many, many more.
