Big news for Star Trek fans has landed with Nacelle Toys announcing a new licensing agreement to produce and release 1/12 action figures from across the 60-year history of Star Trek.
Nacelle has already established a presence in the action figure market with retro-inspired figures including Secataurs and Biker Mice from Mars. The return of a Star Trek action figure line comes just under a year after the Playmates 5 inch line came to a premature end. While Hiya Toys is doing Kelvin Universe figures, the Nacelle deal will be the one covering the Original Series and also specifically mentions The Next Generation and the Star Trek movie series in their release statement.

Nacelle (The Center Seat: 55 Years of Trek, The Toys/Movies That Made Us, Disney’s Behind the Attraction) has struck a deal with Paramount to create a new line of action figures based on the iconic Star Trek franchise. Nacelle's Star Trek is inspired by some of the most beloved, fan-favorite characters and moments from Star Trek shows and films over its iconic run of nearly 60 years available as 1/12 scale action figures, with a focus on characters never before available, as well as roles in outfits never before produced.
Covering the era from The Original Series, to Star Trek: Enterprise, and the films, the franchise is known for celebrating the beauty of exploration and analyzing ethical dilemmas largely based on societal issues. The trailblazing Star Trek franchise portrays unity and collaboration amongst hundreds of different cultures in their interpretation of a future universal society.
With Star Trek's rich cast of beloved characters, cameos and unforgettable moments, there will be future waves of releases that will include characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek: IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, Star Trek Nemesis, and more. In addition, Nacelle is soliciting ideas from Star Trek fans on which characters they would like to see in future waves to complete their collections.
"As a lifelong Star Trek fan who somehow made it through Chekov's Ceti Eel scene at the ripe old age of six (thanks mom!), who would go on to name his company after a term every Trek fan is familiar with, I'm starting to think I’m in the best holodeck program ever made — this has all been so surreal! I promise all the fellow fans out there that we will deliver the deep cuts we've been waiting decades for, and keep the surprises coming too! Warp engines are standing by!" said Brian Volk-Weiss, founder of The Nacelle Company.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
