Latest Star Trek figures

Some figures news here, starting with another San Diego Comic Con exclusive bobble head from Bif Bang Pow. Joining the previously announced Data/Geordi Holmesian two-pack, there will also be a Seven of Nine bobble head, depicting her in the red dress seen in the episode Human Error.

Back at Toy Fair, Bif Bang Pow did announce they plan to release a more typically attired Seven of Nine, but that hasn't reached market yet, so this will be their first Voyager release. Entertainment Earth are taking pre-orders, if Seven doesn't sell out then any remaining stock will be shipped after Comic Con (which is later this month).

Coming later in the year will be the first Star Trek release from a new Trek licensee, The Wonderland Toy Company. Wonderland have several different ranges, and their first Star Trek release will be part of their Big Talker line, which are large (seventeen inch) action figures with sound features playing memorable lines.  Due out in November, according to Things From Another World, will be the latest in the Star Trek/The Big Bang Theory cobranded range, a Big Talker version of Sheldon Cooper, dressed as Spock. Wonderland posted the following image on their website:

Finally, and most immediately available, Cubify have launched a new customisable 3D-printed figurine, the Star Trek Mini. Like their previous TOS and TNG uniform figurines, you are able to have your face added by uploading a photo, but for these new smaller figurines (two inches tall) the body is based on a template, with you being able to turn yourself into either Spock or Uhura.

Cubify: The Next Generation

Cubify have launched the next instalment in their 3D printed Star Trek figurine range; you can now get custom versions of yourself in a TNG uniform. Like their previous TOS offering, you can select your gender, build, department, and props. All you need to do is upload two photos of your head to Cubify's TNG browser app, and before you know you've got a little 3D printed you, which will look a bit like these:

StarTrek.com posted some examples, showing the photos that became Cubify's sample figures:

If you'd like your own 3D printed self, make your way to Cubify's TNG or TOS apps. And for more about how it all works, check out my previous report, which has a couple of videos showing the the 3D printing process.

Turn yourself into a Star Trek character with Cubify's amazing 3D printing

A few months ago StarTrek.com announced Cubify would soon be launching a range of 3D-printed Star Trek figurines. That day has now come, and what they've come up with is pretty amazing! Using Cubify's Star Trek website, with just two photos, you can put your face on a figurine, making yourself a TOS era Starfleet officer. You can select your gender, pose (with a variety of accessories), build, uniform, rank, and an inscription to put on the base. Here are a few examples:

And here's a video showing how it all works:



Engadget have also posted a video looking at the process, with a bit more context on 3D printing in general. You'll also find a gallery of the figurines they created in their report.



The TOS figures are just the start, they plan similar TNG and DS9 versions in future, and are also thinking about customisable accessories and starships!
