McFarlane did Kirk and Picard and the line croaked, though I suspect that was mostly because the likeness on those were bad in conjunction with the issue of them doing what DST does. DST doesn't make action figures. They make ugly statues with useless cuts in them. So it doesn't surprise me that those two lines failed. Also the playmates line is currently dying without support for releasing poorly sculpted, and articulated, figures of Kirk, Spock, Khan, Picard, Riker, and Data. Oh Saru and Burnham are in the mix two, but those are ones I've rarely seen, and those two are the worst sculpted of the bunch. So clearly releasing the stuff that's most popular with geriatric fans isn't the way to go here.
Most of the time they will buy the most popular characters in this franchise and then dip out of the line, causing it to crater.
