Introducing my first Star Trek figures

[dieastra]

So, about at least 40 years too late (as I grew up in Eastern Germany where we did not have that on our TV) I am finally catching up with Star Trek TOS and naturally falling in love with the young William Shatner so when I saw Kirk and Spock figures in the Forbidden Planet in Cardiff I had to buy them... They are awesome! Here's the first batch of

OMG these are wonderful!! What size are they? I would consider getting Spock if he's 6 inches.

They are the same size like the Stargate figures, so bigger than the Torchwood/Doctor Who figures and all the other even more small ones (Star Wars? Indiana Jones? New Doctor Who) that are out there

I am sooooo tempted!

I am really tempted by this one... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Trek-Original-Series-Figures-Kirk-Spock-McCoy-Art-Asylum-Wave-One-NEW-/191589912513?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c9ba60fc1... )

Oh, I want to get my hands on Kirk too! LOL

It's okay, I got the green one single and used and cheap now. So have a look around what is out there to decide which is best. It needs to say Art Asylum or Diamond Select Toys, as there are also smaller cheaper plastic figures, and be careful not to get any from nuTrek, but usually one should see the difference in the faces and uniforms.

I have now bought the one green Kirk, then another green one which is different, plus I found a battle damaged one with blood in his face... Can one have too many Kirks? LOL
