 Hey guys Retro John here and today I'm attempting to go over a review of the 2009 Star Trek Galaxy Collection from Playmates. Let's go ahead real quick and go over this horrible packaging. This came out in 2009. You can see that the packaging is just ridiculous. All of the build pieces for the bridge stand out right in front. The figure is kind of in the background of the blister itself. We've got the logo, the name, what it comes with, what part of the bridge it is. We've got all the other characters in the line which I had to say is the only deemable quality I have with these right now. The fact that you got to know what all is in this. You got to see what the bridge looks like with the completed pieces which we never got. So yeah now I tried to get all these open with the exception of one because I wanted to go over the packaging and I just wanted all the figures open. I've been trying to open these for the last almost 45 minutes. I have two figures opened. That's it because look at the ridiculousness of this. Look at all the damn twisty ties on this thing. Those twisty ties on the figure's arms, both legs, the bridge accessory, the damn action figure stand has a twisty tie holding it in. I just want to note that this is the only figure out of the three that I've come across like this. One of the other figures just had a twisty tie around the waist. Another one had around the waist and one arm. One had it on the bridge piece and the other didn't. None of the chairs that came with the set had twisty ties. This one does. The stand didn't have a twisty. None of the neither stand had twisty ties. This one had a twisty tie. This is just absurd. This is some of the most ridiculous packaging and they're not consistent. And speaking I want to go ahead and go over this real quick. Now I have never planned on really opening these. And what got me to think of opening these is because look at this. Look at this. Over time it just decided to crack open on the top. The only thing from keeping this completely opening is the fact that it has tape along the sides. That's it. That's the only thing keeping this thing from popping open on me. So I decided to open it up. I already had set issues that I had with the bridge. It's in a previous video. But this is ridiculous. So I'm going to go ahead and pause and finish opening these up and hopefully finish my review. I can already tell you out of the two figures I have opened which is Kirk and check off. I am not thrilled with these figures whatsoever. Right now these are some of the worst figures I have ever owned. So I'm going to go ahead and pause. I'm going to go ahead and finish opening this guy. And I have good Lord. I have seven more to open plus this. And these twisty sides are so hard and rigid. And look at that. There's almost no give to them. So I'm not happy. This is supposed to be for kids originally. 14 tiny parts I guess. So yeah I have so many issues with these including simple issues with the stands. So which aren't actually needed. I don't know. Let's go ahead pause. I'll finish open these and I'll go ahead and continue the review. Okay so here. No kidding nearly an hour later. I finally have all the figures open except for one and I'll explain that in a moment. So I want to go over the initial these five figures first. So let's go ahead and just go from here to Kirk all the way down. So I'm going to go ahead and remove this so I can. Okay. All right. So this is our captain Kirk figure. Kirk here has his head articulation arms go forward and backward. This is a single carded Kirk. So this is about his arms do go from side to side at the elbow. This is about how far his elbows are going to go. That's it. That's it. His hands do turn. This leg goes out backwards. It gets one can bend at the knee. There is swivel at the foot. Some of these not all of them actually have an ankle articulation. So this leg. Casso can twist from side to side bend at the knee slightly. And his foot also has that articulation. However, well this leg can go out. This leg can go out and back in. Out and it goes back in. Out and back in. Problem with that is as you can see from the Kirk back here he has to sit in the captain's chair. It looks like Kirk is trying to let out a mean old fart. So if he's going to sit in the chair he's essentially going to just be leaning in the chair like that. That is horrible. That is unexcusable. And I have tried to work this leg out to where maybe I can get it to kink out. But it won't do it. And I wish I could say it was just this Kirk figure. But here we have Chekhov. Chekhov's leg goes out. Chekhov's leg goes out. And back in. And back in. All his other articulation is fine. But that leg. That's the same leg too. Horrible. Dr. McCoy. Leg out. Leg out. Back in. Leg out. Goes back in. This is unexcusable. I'm trying to work this out to where it's not wanting to do it. Here. Here's Sulu. Sulu now. I can can fit both feet out. He has all the same articulation as all the other figures. Here's the problem. No knee bend. It's supposed to bend at the knee. You can even tell right there. And here. And I had the same problem with this Kirk figure. And when I tried to force it, you could see what happened. So I'm not even going to try forcing it with the Sulu figure because I don't want the end result. I don't have an extra Sulu figure. But isn't this something? This Kirk figure's legs are fine. Minus the missing. This is horrible. I wish I could swap out the legs. I don't know if I can. I'll have to look later. That's Kirk's. I'm over accessories and everything in a bit. Yohura. Now this is almost a perfect figure. I'm going to kind of say it almost. She has the articulation and I want to note that the hair does not hinder her head of movement. It's actually very pliable plastic. No articulation, which is fine, but very pliable. Her arms can go out, forwards, backwards. There are no bends at the elbows because she doesn't have sleeves to cover it up. She doesn't have a waist articulation. Her legs, because of the skirt, although it is somewhat pliable, can't really move. So that is understandable. That is forgivable. Her, she does have the knee bends, which is pointless because she can't stand. She does have swivel at the ankles. So why is this almost a decent figure? You'll notice on these figures, and I'm going to use the broken Kirk as an example, the belts can slide right off and they don't have to have them on. And then, of course, just slide them right back on. Here, I'll do it again. Take it, slide it right up. There you go. However, Yohura's belt, that is as far as it's going to go. Her belt does not come off. Unless you cut it off, it will not come off. And what's really bad is the part where it stops is her butt. Her butt is blocking her belt from coming off. She has a big butt. Is that really necessary? Could they not make this a little bit more pliable like they did the other belts? I mean, the other belts have somewhat more of an almost elastic give. Okay, a little harder elastic, but still. Hers will not come off. She is stuck with that on. She is going to be at her post with this belt on. But she does come with the phaser. Sad to kill. Very, very sad, very, very sad. Now, I want to go over another issue with these. I'm going to get a lot of some of them, all of them, as many as the bad out of the way as I can. These action figures come with stands. Cadet Chekov and Cadet McCoy came with a gold, gold stand. And all the other crew members came with the silver ones with the little emblems on it. Okay. And they also made it, because it's supposed to be a kid's toy, where you can wear them. Wait, whoa, hold on. Did that seriously just happen? Did that seriously just happen? It just broke off on camera. Holy crap. Oh, does that come back on? It does snap back on. Okay. Now I'm curious. My initial complaint might be valid here. Invalid. Well, let's get Chekov put on the right one. I guess he has the gold one. Did they all do that? They all do that. Okay. Hold on. Okay. All right. Well, okay. So my initial complaint was that they came with these wearable stands that had, let me see if I can get this back together. How if I put it on correctly, huh? There we go. Okay, wearable stands. My initial complaint was I didn't know these came off. So when you put the action figure on the stand, which doesn't look like the pig is really, it wouldn't stay because of the unbalance of this piece, but you can actually remove that and then stand your action figure on it. So, okay. All right. One complaint void or prohibited. Get that back in there. All right. Okay. Well, never mind. Okay. Well, those complaints are done. Let's go ahead and go over the good figures. The good figures. We have Pike, we've got Scotty, and we've got Spock. Both have the sand articulation. I do want to note that there is a little paint missing on his nose, waist, his legs both go out and out. The knee bends, they all have this action. So these are the figures that came out. Now, here's the figure that came out perfect. Nero. Nero, all the figures I didn't want in this line is perfect. First off, go ahead and take off his accessories. He has this very pliable coat. I mean, you could probably, if you worked at it, take it off. I'm not going to. Well, no, it's actually glued to the shoulder. So no, but so very pliable. It's not going to get in the way of any articulation, which is this. His arms can go out backward, bend at the elbows. His wrists do swivel. His arms do go forward and backward. His head does turn from right to left. He can stand on his stand. His legs do go forward and backward. They bend at that knees. They have the articulated ankle joints, and he does also turn. He works. He's perfect. In fact, he is to sit in the captain's chair. This does hinder him from sitting in chairs, however. He comes with two accessories. Comes with this little pistol here. It can fit in either hand, but I like putting it in his right hand. This is a very pliable plastic, so it's not very sturdy. So there's that. Same with his staff, which as you can see is very warped, but it's still very gummy. But I think that fits best in his left hand. Like so. There we go. So I don't think he'll stand very well on his own. I almost had him. I almost had him. There we go. Buddy works best if you just use the stand I came with him, which is just a black stand with the Star Trek emblem on it. So there you go. Now there is one figure I downright refuse to open because of the massive disappointment with this line so far. And that is original Spock. I just, I can't bear to open him. I don't want to be disappointed. It is the last Spock figure from Leonard and Eve Moy. So I don't want to open him up. Okay, so some of the accessories, they all came with belts away belts. They each came with a phaser. And the phaser, let's see if I can find the phaser either was set to stun or kill. So that's pretty cool. My big complaint is these are kids toys. And these were definitely going to get lost. These guns are definitely going to get lost. So what the hell the gun? I don't know. I'll figure that. McCoy, where's McCoy? McCoy here. He came with looks like maybe a little hyperspray fits best in his left hand. And a little data pad with a sticker. And that bothers me. And I'll explain why he doesn't really maybe the hyperspray is better off in this hand over here. And his data pad and data pad. And the other hand. So there we go. So it was on a little better. So probably his accessories. That's what he came with plus the belt and the phaser. We've got a check off. Of course, they came with the bridge pieces. I'll check off. He came with his belt phaser and also the same exact data pad that McCoy has shot here. Same exact data pad. No difference. Now the problem with this is the the the uh you can see right here the sticker is peeling off. So I don't like that at all. But he also does hold the data pad best in this hand as him and McCoy share the same exact mold. Just different head swap. Now we come to spark. A spark came with his utility belt and his phaser. He also came with a swappable hand that came with his live long and prosper hand. And I'm really sketchy. I mean this I'm really scared to swap out these hands honestly. I really really am. I'm supposed to just be able to do that and then take the live long and prosper hand and plug it right in. There we go. So there we go. It actually did work without breaking the peg. So there we go. Because he can't bend his arm very well that's about his so but I don't really like that particular hand and again I'm running a chance pulling that hand off and plugging this hand back in. Please don't break. Yay I did it. So his elbow I really don't like his elbow movement because I you know I like to have that pose where his hands are behind his back pose and that's kind of how it looks. Oh well. That's a bombing Kirk, Pike, Scotty. They all came with their phaser and utility belt and come with anything really spectacular. Nero came with the staff and the gun I showed you. The other original spot comes with a replaceable hand similar to what the other spot had a holding hand. All right so with that said and now that I have all the pieces to the bridge let's go ahead put the bridge together with the pieces that we got and see how it looks. So yeah here we go and there it is that is the completed bridge set with the pieces that we have currently. You can see over here we have half a station right here. There's another piece that goes right here. We have one full completed two-piece station that's right here. We have a single seat over there. We come on the side. We don't again don't have a completed section here or here. We have a section there. We have a monitoring section here and of course we have the pieces that came with the initial set and the view screen. So it really sucks that we didn't get the rest of the pieces to this set. I think it would look incredibly cool even with the damn markings that pisses me off. If you want to know the history behind this check out the previous video that I did. Yeah so you could see that they were really onto something. It just didn't pan out. They really took a lot of fans off by not completing this set. It is a beautiful set. It could have been a beautiful set. One of the best play sets it just it has fallen short and sadly the play set even like this is still better than the action figures that we got for it. This has got to be some of the worst action figures I have ever owned. I cannot lie. So these were made in 2009 by playmates. We will never see the rest of the bridge. There are people who have bought in multiple figures to complete the set. There were certain pieces that will never come to be this because they were supposed to be specific for the Wave 2. But yeah and I am so disappointed with these figures. I don't even know if I am going to attempt to complete this. Honestly I think I am just going to box it up and toss it in the closet. I don't know. I mean my Kirk figure can't even sit in the captain's chair. That's bad. So there you have it. If you dare these figures you can get onto your bay fairly cheap. These are the 2009 Star Trek Galaxy Collection. I do have a couple of the transporter pieces too if you are interested. Like I said there we go. Right here they came with the Yohura and Nero. The other transporter piece comes with the original Spock who I am not opening. And these go on the transporter. Looking at the transporter I will show you that real quick. You will notice on the transporter that it actually has another piece. I am wondering. I have never really seen the transporter before. I am thinking this was supposed to come with another figure. Maybe? I don't know. This comes with a figure but I mean the missing terminal was supposed to come with a figure. So this will never be completed either. You will have these three which I guess are important and you will have that. So it still wouldn't look as bad as half a bridge missing. But you will be missing the pass. So even the transporter is not safe from the missing wave two line. That's really sad. Like I said this toy line had the potential to be an amazing line. It could have been something that they continued. They could have continued this line and this action figure form with the other two movies. I would have loved to have seen a con figure like this. Just in better quality. I would have liked to have seen figures from the last film. It would have been awesome. It would have been amazing. But we are never going to get them. Okay so I just want to note that I did get Kirk's leg working. So he is able to sit in the chair. However everyone else's leg I tried as you can see check off is still leaning in his chair. Everyone else's leg is still stuck. I can't get it to. When I heard Kirk's leg pop I worried. I broke it and no I did not. It actually works just fine now. So what the hell. So one good outcome out of this. But still not the best line. But just thought I'd go ahead and notate and fix that little error. His leg does work and he actually looks pretty good sitting in the chair. So I'm gonna pike in a chair. Again the problem with her not being able to sit. She is also suffering from the same effect. The check off is and she's leaning in the chair. We've got Scotty over here. So it's perfect. Looks great at the counter. And then we've got the view screen there and you can see kind of through there. She's looking up. So all in all I mean this could not the best set but you could totally tell the potential that this set had. Very very sad. All right well this has been my review of her 2009 galaxy collection action figures and bridge play set. Write it in the comments. Tell me what you think. Tell me if I'm overreacting.
