Comic Con Exclusive Figure

DIAMOND SELECT TOYS ADDS EXCLUSIVE "MIRROR, MIRROR" MARLENA MOREAU FIGURE TO SAN DIEGO COMIC CON

May 2006 - Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles, LLC (DST) has announced the addition of a fifth "Mirror, Mirror" figure - available at this summer's San Diego Comic Con. In addition to the previously announced STAR TREK® "Mirror, Mirror" action figures, a limited Marlena Moreau figure sculpted by Art Asylum, will be available at the Diamond Select Toys booth.

When purchasing the "Mirror, Mirror" Uhura, McCoy, Sulu and Chekov figures from their respective retailers, con-goers will be able to have a special STAR TREK card punched at each booth. Upon completing this card and returning to the Diamond Select Toys booth during the convention, fans will receive the "Mirror, Mirror" Marlena Moreau figure at no cost, completing the "Mirror, Mirror" set.

Internet retailers New Force Comics, Action Figure Xpress and Entertainment Earth will be offering their exclusive McCoy, Sulu and Chekov figures while the Uhura figure will be sold by DST. Quantities of the Marlena Moreau figure will be limited and subject to availability, so interested fans should complete this STAR TREK challenge early to claim their prize.

"Fans of the Star Trek universe have very high standards, and we're looking forward to raising the bar even higher with our "Mirror, Mirror" exclusive figures," stated Diamond Select Toys' Marketing and Sales Supervisor, Michael Leavey. "With our line of Star Trek: The Next Generation action figures continuing, we wanted to bring fans of the classic series a little something extra to celebrate the landmark 40th anniversary."

SDCC Marlena, Friday, 28 July 2006 Written by Chuck MacMonegle  - See all my reviews  - Top 10 Reviewer The figure is very nice but slightly below DST normal quality, mold lines, both raised and depressed, are distinctly visible on both arms and while this would not be as much of an issue on an uniform part, they do stand out on matt flesh and they are much more visible than on their Vina. The head seems a little big for the body but not overly so, the same issue as with their Dax figure and is a result of reusing a Uhura's body for different characters.     These are really nitpicking points, the figure is a great addition to they Star Trek line. The use of gloss paint to highlite the eyes and lips adds a nice touch, the high gloss black for the boots makes them really stand out. The skirt is molded in a very flexible plastic, not as stiff as the T&T Dax but not as flexible as Vina dress, which allows DST to provide a more rounded appearance to the figure when viewed in profile and DST has returned to having the panties match the uniform color. The stance is a bit closer together than on the original Uhura and T&T Dax. This may contribute to the figure being a tiny bit taller than the original release Uhura figure. The high top boots, while appropriate for the character, do result in the loss of the calf/shin point of articulation. Marlena only comes with a phaser and communicator, I would have preferred a dagger with the appropriate boot holder or an agonizer. The paint app's are good, with only a tiny spot of bleed on the back side between the top and midriff.     All in all a great sculpt and a nice addition to DST's Star Trek line of figures Was this review helpful to you?     Report as inappopriate
