As Playmates returns to the Star Trek Universe with a new 5-inch line of figures arriving in Summer, they have today announced that figures are also now in development for the latest animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy.
In a press release (see below in full) it was confirmed that the Prodigy line will launch with figures of Dal R'El with Murf, Gwyndala, Jankom Pog, Hologram Janeway, Zero and Rok-Takh. The figures will feature on blister cards and will start to ship from online retailers in late 2022 and on store shelves in Spring 2023. More figures and ships are planed for the Prodigy line in 2023.
The only image circulated shows the new characters, minus Janeway and Rok-Takh.
Playmates Toys and Paramount Consumer Products have revealed a first look at the action figures from the Paramount+ animated series Star Trek: Prodigy.
Star Trek: Prodigy follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search for a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered – a first in the history of the Star Trek franchise – but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and CBS Studios, Star Trek: Prodigy is currently available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ and will debut on Nickelodeon in the U.S. later this year.
At launch, the new toy line will include the following Star Trek: Prodigy characters:
• Dal R’El figure with Murf • Gwyndala • Jankom Pog • Hologram Janeway • Zero • Rok-Tahk (coming early 2023)
These five-inch, 1:14 scale figures will feature 14 points of articulation and come packaged in a brand-new blister pack style designed exclusively for the Star Trek: Prodigy toy line.
“We are excited to be bringing Star Trek: Prodigy toys and accessories home to families for the first time. This new lineup we are unveiling is highly focused on playability — we want kids to take the toys out of the packaging and engage in imaginative play as if they were part of the Star Trek world themselves,” said Karl Aaronian, senior vice president, Playmates Toys.
The action figures will be available at online retailers beginning in October 2022 and on store shelves in spring 2023. New Star Trek: Prodigy ships, vehicles and role play toys will be available later in 2023.

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...
