Trek figures have a massive potential, just like Star wars figures, but its constantly dragged down by people being negative and whining about "things aren't what I want" or "not how i remember" rather than just enjoying the products that are being made.
If nothing was being made then the same people would still moan about that too.
Enjoy the figures that are there, support the creators, share what you love about things. Rather than saying something is rubbish, not what I want or that theres something thats not good, then share the issues and what you think would improve things. Believe me, even critisim can be good its its followed by sensible and clear ways to make things better

Right, we made these companies (who refuse to listen to fans who've been into Trek for 40+ years), completely ignore our suggestions. The playmates line would have been successful if they had listened to somebody like me who knows a lot about Star Trek and also generally what sells. If Kirk Spock and Khan had been from the original series, they would have sold more, The Wrath of Khan is a great movie but the ship was from TOS as was the communicator. Plus the 2280's in Star Trek didn't have the bright happy colors like TOS and TNG did, the earlier TOS movie era was mostly a Red/Maroon & Beige hellscape with a few muted blues and greys here and there. They could have at least tried something like these two pictures.
