Background:
I am new to the Star Trek world and love it. I used to dislike the show but back when the 2009 Alternate Reality Star Trek Movie came out. I found it quite fascinating. I have been reading the IDW comic and really enjoy it as well as listen to some Star Trek Podcasts here and there. I can't wait for the new movie (Into Darkness) to come out this Thursday! The Television shows and Movies: I really like them so far. I have only watched about 25 episodes each of Enterprise, TOS (The Original Series) & TNG (The Next Generation). The movies are very fun. I finally have watched all 11 movies so far. I have been told to watch Deep Space 9 (DS9) as it has subperb writing and story telling even though the characters are not as iconic as the others. I am now in a new world and thouroughly love Star Trek even though I had despised it as a kid all the way up until my late twenties. The Toys: The Art Asylum / Diamond Select (AA/DST) toys are the saving grace in terms of the toys in my opinion. All other brands have been less than desirable. AA/DST have a line of 6-7-inch figures and 1:800 to 1:1700 scale Star Trek ships. I have been collecting a lot of the Star Trek: The Next Generation characters from AA/DST and love them as well as the first in the Timeline of the Star Trek history in the Enterprise characters. I have been also collectiong the Starship Legends that are currently coming out. They are fantastic!!! From time to time, I will add pics here and there.

Here are the 4-Inch Joes for scale comparison:

I wish they had finished that bridge setup. Not to mention finishing the crew in uniform. I'm not sure if it's AA's fault or mostly retail, but cancelling so much stuff has killed any interest in their product for me. Especially the final Stargate wave and so many cool Star Trek figures.

I had an extra Phlox to make a regular version. Why would they make a space suit version and NOT make a regular? They really dropped the ball on Enterprise. Did they ever make Uhura in the red movie uniform?

There was supposed to be a Mayweather with helm for the bridge set which was never released. Hoshi and Phlox in duty uniform would have been part of wave 3, but they never even got to prototype stage on those, just mock ups.

Many thanks for the replies.
Does anyone know if the Deluxe Cpt. Archer, T'Pol & Reed came with their accessories. I know that the single cards did, but what about the Bridge piece sets?

I don't think they did. Just the figure and the bridge piece.

I think not releasing Mayweather with his part of the bridge is the bigger problem. Hoshi should have come with another part of the bridge instead of double dipping characters.
