STAR TREK: Retro '90s Action Figures from Playmates - Part 1

Between 1992 and 1999, Playmates Toys produced hundreds of 4.5” action figures for the Star Trek franchise encompassing characters from the Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager as well as some of the movies. With their distinctive style and accurate facial sculpts, these figures set a new high watermark for mass produced, licensed products. Rapidly earning the affection of casual fans and hardcore Trekkers alike, the Playmates line of figures coincided with the 1990's boom in Star Trek’s popularity, resulting in plastic depictions of minor characters and variants that are still treasured and collected to this day. This video offers a loving retrospective on the first couple of years of the line (92-94), with an emphasis on the 4.5” figures only. Rare and rarely seen images have been sourced from private collectors and the deepest recesses of the internet to give fans and collectors the definitive history of the Star Trek Playmates line of action figures.
