Star Trek Premium Format Figure Premium Format Figure (Item No. 71281). Limited Edition of 200.

SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE EDITION
Exclusively available from Sideshow Collectibles, this ultra-limited version of the Premium Format Seven of Nine figure features her maroon colored uniform.

The Premium Format Seven of Nine figure represents Star Trek's most famous borg in 1/4 Scale, a the perfect blend of sculpture and fabric clothing. Seven of Nine was sculpted by Oluf Hartvigson, and the clothing was expertly tailored by Greg Mowry of Geppetto Productions. Together with the Sideshow Creative team, these artists studied Seven's deceptively simple costume, and have meticulously reproduced every detail. The corset structure is present on the sculpture, visible through the uniform, along with every borg implant remaining on this Voyager beauty. The figure is cast in heavy-weight polystone, and is complete with a Star Trek: Voyager insignia styled base, and each base bottom is printed with the edition size info.

One of Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry's primary goals for the show was to use science fiction as a means of commenting on humanity's strengths, weaknesses, and often-quirky behavior patterns. Consequently, "outsider" characters--altered humans or aliens who were in a position to observe and comment upon the actions and habits of their human crew mates--have regularly been an important element in the storylines of all of Star Trek's various incarnations. One of the most popular and intriguing versions of the outsider was the former Borg drone, Seven of Nine, played by Jeri Ryan on Star Trek Voyager from 1997 to 2001.

Seven of Nine had been assimilated into the Collective as a child, and was fully integrated into that reality until she was placed aboard the U.S.S. Voyager as a representative of the Borg during a brief alliance between the Collective and Captain Janeway. On Janeway's orders, Seven of Nine's connection with the Borg was severed, and the former drone remained on Voyager. Although she was resistant to the change at first, Seven of Nine ultimately became a valued member of Voyager's crew as they struggled to return to Federation space from the distant reaches of the Delta Quadrant.

In the course of living and working aboard Voyager, Seven--as she eventually allowed the other crew members to call her--went through her own struggle to learn how to interact with the rest of the crew, and to reestablish her own humanity. Ms. Ryan's portrayal of Seven, with its layers of both strength and vulnerability, as well as her striking appearance, was a factor that added much to Voyager's storylines, and helped extend the life of the series.
