Retro Toy Review: Thomas Riker

Star Trek: The Next Generation fans will likely remember the episode "Second Chances" in which it is revealed that Commander Riker has a genetic clone produced by a transporter accident earlier in his career. Then-Lieutenant Riker was assigned to the USS Potemkin, tasked with the mission of exploring an alien planet. Riker beamed down to investigate, but while he was transporting back up, a second annular confinement beam was initiated to adjust for the planet's unique atmospheric disturbances. That second beam allowed Riker to transport back to the Potemkin, but it also created a second, identical Riker, who was returned to the surface. Riker on the Potemkin, unaware of his doppleganger, went along his merry way... until some years later when the Enterprise (along with now-Commander Riker) returned and discovered his castaway twin. (Side rant: An annular confinement beam "creates a spatial matrix within which the materialize/dematerialize process occurs" ...

Star Trek: Voyager Crew

I recently completed my quest to watch every Star Trek episode from every series, and one series that I found to be surprisingly entertaining was Voyager. When it first aired I was totally fried on Star Trek so I just dismissed it, but I’m glad that I finally got around to watching it. Unlike Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, both of which needed a couple of seasons to get their bearings, Voyager hit the ground running. Even the earliest episodes were strong and it was clear that the producers knew exactly what they wanted to do with the series from the get-go. And unlike the other series that lost a bit of the magic in their later seasons, Voyager maintained its quality all the way through. I’d argue that the best of Voyager was never as good as the best of either TNG or DS9, but it was a consistently good Star Trek series, even if it never became great . Voyager premiered in 1995 and Playmates jumped on the chance to produce a toy line, with the first wave of action figures relea...

Star Trek: Deep Space 9 Crew

I wasn't a big fan of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine back in the day. After Next Generation , I felt that Star Trek had run its course and DS9 seemed like a pretender to the throne. But recently I've started to watch through all six different Star Trek incarnations (don't forget the animated series) and I've been impressed by series that I previously dismissed... including DS9 . As of this writing, I'm just starting the fourth season and the show is finally getting its sea legs. Of course I had to pick up some action figures from the ever-awesome Playmates Star Trek line from the 90's. Let's take a look at Playmates' take on the main crew of DS9! By "main crew" I'm referring to the primary characters on the show who are mentioned in the opening credits. That means that Quark and Jake, even though they're not technically part of the crew, still count. But I won't go into minor variants, like Dax and Bashir in TNG outfits. Sure, they...
