As some of you might know, Minimates have been around for well over a decade. Debuting in 2002, they have become one of the most varied collectible platforms out there, with designs spanning a lot of different pop culture genres and properties. Today I am going to look back at last year’s Toys ‘R’ Us assortment of the Star Trek Minimates.
This assortment included:
Captain Kirk and Khan
Captain Picard and Hugh
Captain Sisko (Vest) and Gul Dukat
Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine
Here is a run down of each of the 2pks.
Captain Kirk and Khan
This version of Captain Kirk and Khan are from the TV series, when they were both young. Kirk comes with a communicator and a phase pistol, and Khan comes with a gun of his own.
Captain Picard and Hugh
Captain Picard is packed with Hugh, a Borg who found a sense of individuality before becoming part of the Borg Collective. Hugh does not comes with any accessories, but Picard comes with a tricorder, a phaser, a phase rifle, a knife, and extra arms and an extra upper torso so Picard can have three different outfits.
Captain Sisko (Vest) and Gul Dukat
Captain Sisko of Deep Space Nine comes with a tricorder, a phaser, and a phase rifle. Gul Dukat, the sometimes ally and sometimes enemy of Sisko, comes with a phaser and a phase rifle also.
Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine
Captain Janeway of Voyager comes with a tricorder and a phaser. Seven of Nine, a former Borg turned Voyager crew member, comes with a phase rifle.
All in all, I really like this set. I am a big Star Trek fan, especially with the Voyager series, so seeing the inclusion of Janeway and Seven is awesome.
Some might ask, “Where is Captain Archer?” The captain of the most recent TV series, Star Trek Enterprise, is in the comic store assortment of the Star Trek Minimates, released the same time, and including variations of Captains Kirk, Picard, and Sisco.
