Captain Spock

I know, its kind of a cheat.  There really wasn't much to do to create this figure, but I think it was necessary. 


Here is Captain Spock, as he first appeared commanding a ship of "children" in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.  Its 2285 and the U.S.S. Enterprise is now a training ship. 


Cadets under the supervision of Captain Spock engage in what was to be a three-week training cruise.  While technically the senior officer, Admiral James T. Kirk was along for the ride.  Kirk would eventually take command of the vessel to engage the mad potentate Kahn Noonien Singh.



To create this figure, I took the Admiral Kirk figure and placed a Spock head on it.  Sitting him in the command chair, gives him the appearance of command. 


 The simplicity of this figure is most likely the reason why it wasn't part of the line up.  Either that, or the designers were just asleep at the wheel.
