STAR TREK BOLDLY GOES INTO THE MILLENNIUM WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE, ALL-NEW STAR TREK ACTION FIGURES FROM PLAYMATES TOYS

New Figures Based on the Longstanding Hit Star Trek Series Introduced from Playmates Toys

NEW YORK (Feb. 8, 1999) - To answer the demands of loyal fans, Playmates Toys expands on its ever-popular line of Star Trek action figures with a galaxy of new introductions for 1999. The eagerly awaited line includes an all-new series of 12-inch figures, the most collectible scale of action figures, which began with Paramount Pictures' Star Trek: Insurrection. The 1998 holiday hit film figure series continues in 1999 with 12-inch collectibles of the cast and aliens from the original series; as well as other favorite characters from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager, including the highly anticipated Seven of Nine figure.

For true Trekkers, the Starfleet Profiles Electronic Display Assortment offers deluxe 12-inch collectible figures displayed on a computerized insignia base that generate detailed biographical profiles of each featured character with hundreds of phrases in the famous computer voice from the Star Trek franchise.
