Kirk and Scotty Join DST’s Latest Star Trek: The Original Series Action Figures
Diamond Select recently announced the latest individual additions to their “”Series 5” Star Trek: The Original Series action figure line. This time around, Kirk sports his seemingly comfortable season 3 Green Dress shirt –I’ve always suspected it was a result of Shatner complaining about the standard tunics being way too stuffy. He’ll be joined by Scotty, whom I believe was previously released as part of a Spock/Scotty two-pack, and a random Romulan officer, all of which should retail for about $15.99 each.
In addition to these individual releases, a “Series 5” set is scheduled for release which will feature the Green Shirt Kirk, “Tholian Web” Dr.McCoy, Yeoman Rand, and Nurse Chapel which is set to retail for around $63.99 — the release date is still to be determined. Each of these figures are roughly 6 inches tall, and they actually look pretty good up close. Check out DST’s official site for more info, including potential release dates.
