Man, why did Todd even BOTHER doing a Trek line? All we got was Picard and Kirk. Such a joke of a line. His overly cautious "testing the waters" approach with some licenses is so frustrating, especially when he's so quick to give up on it if it's not an immediate hit on toy shelves. Same thing happened with his painfully short lived Harry Potter line. I fully expect his Princess Bride line to be a single wave too.

DST is just as bad when it came to some of their "one and done waves" for Pulp Fiction, Tron, X-Files, etc. DST could have done a lot more with X-Files if they had made figures based on the original show itself instead of starting the line off with an older Mulder and Scully from the resurrected series 10th season. Nobody wanted to buy this Mulder that looked like a homeless person...

What a waste.
