- 3,Playmates Figure Guide
- 4,by Gene Grasso
-
- The following is a list of all Star Trek Action Figures and
- Accesories made starting from the First series of Playmates figures
- up until the end of the 1994 series. This list also includes the
- First Series of Deep Space Nine action figures.
-
-
- ****** ABOUT THIS LIST ******
-
-
- We decided to do this listing because, as a collector, keeping track
- of all of your collectible figures can get very tiring after a while.
- Now that Playmates will be releasing it's 6th series of Next
- Generation figures,the up coming second Series of Deep Space Nine
- figures, and no doubt in 1995, the First series of Star Trek:Voyager
- figures, we decided to build a list to help the Star Trek collector
- keep track of how many there are, and which ones they are. Anyway,
- It's a lot easier to have someone else do the typing and writing for
- once, and this list is very easy to print up and make copies of.
- So,without further ado, we'll start with the first series of
- Playmates Star Trek: The Next Generation Action Figures.
-
-
- Star Trek: The Next Generation
- First Series Collectible Action Figures
- Playmates Toys-1992
- 10 Figures
-
- 1. Captain Jean-Luc Picard
- 2. Counselor Deanna Troi

- 6. Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge *** SPECIAL NOTE ***
- 7. Borg
- 8. Ferengi
- 9. Romulan
- 10. Gowron the Klingon
-
- *** SPECIAL NOTE ***
-
- Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge was originally issued with a
- removable visor in the lower numbered figurines. After concern that
- small children may accidentally swallow the visor, Playmates had it
- glued to the figure. Subsequentally, the figure became known as
- Geordi LaForge with removable visor. Rumor has it that numbers 1-
- 75000 have removable visors, and that card numbers 1-110000 show that
- the visor can be removed.

- *** SPECIAL NOTES ***
-
- The Guinan figure while still a part of the original second series,
- was shipped much later than the rest of the Second series figures. As
- a result many collectors frantically searched for her until she was
- finally released. After her release, there was a subsequent shortage
- of the figure as many collectors now horded what they thought was a
- valuable investment.
-
- The Counselor Deanna Troi figure has an interesting variation on the
- card. An unknown number of the figure were shipped with the card
- reading: Ounselor Deanna Troi. Playmates somehow forgot to add the C
- at the beginning, thus making for a very scarce variation.
-
- The Lt. Cmdr. Geordi LaForge figure, like the Guinan figure was also
- shipped late, but is still a part of the second series of figures.
- The odd thing about this figure is that he was packed in cases with Q
- who was to be released in the Second half of the Second series. This
- packing of only two figures per case of twenty four, flooded the
- market with hundreds of Geordi's, and hundreds of Q's, thus
- decreasing their collectors market value.

- Lore was the last Second series figure to be released in the set. He
- was featured on the backs of second series second release cards, but

-
- The release of the last eight figures was very sporatic, in that many
- of the figures either came out one at a time, or in sets of three. Q
- was the first released, then Admiral McCoy and Captain Scott. Next
- released were Ambassador Spock, Commander Sela, Vorgon and Dathon.
- The last figure released was Lore.
