A good wave should have a few medium cuts, and one or two deep cuts, as well as a handful of... prominent cuts? AT least at the start of the line. While it's great for collectors to know that a line will go deep, it's also important to let them know that they'll be able to set up interesting displays that represent the series' and films. Like, it would be nice to know they'd actually get to all of the main characters from Voyager in their line, since no company since Playmates has. Like, Tuvix is cool, but you need to have Tuvok and Neelix to display with him.

QC or no…other Super 7 Ultimates lines have done well, with some very deep cuts. But let’s look at this overall situation. McFarlane, Playmates, and Super 7 have all actually done as you asked, and started out of the gate with all heavy hitters. And they all crashed and burned spectacularly. Now, here comes Nacelle. Are they supposed to follow this same pattern that resulted in disaster for three other companies?! They risked being dismissed right off the bat. The only sane way to approach this market was from an alternative direction. They’ve seen other companies do EXACTLY what posters on this thread have wanted, and it was long walk/short pier for them. They almost have no choice but to do this or end up a laughing stock using a strategy the industry KNOWS doesn’t work for Trek anymore…
