A New Direction: Taking Crap and Making It Credible

Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Enterprise-D


I know.  This is not a custom figure.  It’s true.  There has been no alteration to this particular figure.  This is the Captain Jean-Luc Picard figure created for the Minimates line.  However, while the designers of this line took the time to make figures from other incarnations of the series, they left collectors with absolute bollocks for environments.  This oversight left me with an opportunity to create something new. 

 

While made for much smaller, and arguably badly rendered figures, the Strike Force series accomplished very little.  In fact, it was one of the contributing factors to the end of decent Trek collectibles.  However, the vessels themselves are not bad at all.  The figures on the other hand are sad.  The Strike Force ships, however, did give us some really nice interior designs.   




For instance, Captain Picard standing on the bridge of his Enterprise.
