I'm pretty excited that we're finally getting a new line of Star Trek figures (especially since there's a possibility of getting new DS9 figures ), and I honestly don't mind that McFarlane has the license.

Let's be honest, now. Diamond's offerings over the past few years have been nothing but plastic statues, but with awful paint.
I've seen plenty of Worfs, and had really hoped to add him to my collection, but I've yet to find him without glaring paint blemishes.

Sure, in a perfect world, NECA would be producing these figures, or Diamond would have collaborated with Art Asylum again to bring us some amazing figures like the ones that they released over a decade ago.
But since neither of those scenarios is happening, as long as McFarlane manages to give us decent paint on these figures, along with a diverse selection, IMO, it will be an upgrade from DST's recent offerings.
