  • Makes me want to get that Captain Picard dragon figure...too bad its 80 bucks :P

  • It occurs to me you could've used a John Locke figure from the "Lost" set (like the Fine Bros videos!) for Pressman, but the scale would be all wrong and no uniform. Oh well. ;)

  • @toddsmitts, great suggestion, but yes, I would hate fhe scale differential, not to mention the lack of uniform. Any custom figure makers out there?

  • @dirkblockwood I suppose you could use forced perspective (holding the smaller figures closer to the camera and the bigger ones further away). As for the uniform, how 'bout a simple home-made cloth one?

  • @toddsmitts, forced perspective is a good idea! Regarding costuming ... I rather enjoy developing sets and set lighting. ... At the end of the day, there's no time for costuming. I would have to collaborate with a costume designer/creator or action figure customizer. Do you know any?

  • @dirkblockwood 'fraid not. I suppose you could search on youtube or google though. There must be somebody here showing off their work!

  • Interesting. I wasn't sure how you'd do this since I know they never made an Admiral Pressman figure.

    What's next? Based on the available figures, you could make "Captain's Holiday", "Relics", "Darmok", "I, Borg", Any of the Lore episodes, "Second Chances", plus a few TOS or DS9 episodes!

  • toddsmitts, hmmm, you've given me some interesting eps to mull over. Thanks for the suggestions and comments!.

    The question is whether I should open some of my favorites which are still in their boxes!?

  • Well, if you can't bear to open them and you're willing to shell out a couple of bucks, there's gotta be plenty of loose figures for sale on eBay.

    Since they made figures for Spock, Sarek, Sela, and Romulan Picard and Data, you also could do "Unification". (Too bad they didn't make any figures for Neral, Pardek, Captain K'Vada, that fat Ferengi, or the four-armed piano player). Plus you'd need a TON of generic Romulan figures for all of Spock's followers and Sela's goons! lol!

  • Also, they made such a nice Locutus figure, it'd be nice to do "Best of Both Worlds", if you can just find a suitable substitute for Shelby (Ro Laren, maybe?)

  • All right! More action figure vids! I've got one of my own on my channel.

    I also make animated vids using the Beatles toys.

    I'm just impressed you used a Riker toy without the rip in his shirt!

  • Sorry to tell you this, but they might take a while. I went to my retailer, and the only ones there where 3 La Forges for 39$ each, did I make a mistake in not taking one?

  • That's too high for my budget.

    What can you afford?

    I chanced upon LaForge in Dress Uniform this week in a comic book shop. No cash on hand, though. Hopefully he will be there next week when I can swing a purchase!

  • Great job! I love vids like this! I'm going to be uploading some of my own soon!

  • Send me an e-mail when it's uploaded. I look forward to seeing it.

  • Cool. I like the Romulan backgound set.

  • silverantproductions, thanks for the comment.
