While there has been some obvious changes to the Star Trek figure licence recently with McFarlane releasing figures from the CBS TV shows, Diamond are continuing their Trek product with figures from the Paramount Movies, the "Kelvin" Universe alternative timeline.
Up to now, the Star Trek releases by Diamond Select in their Select packaging have been more akin to statues and diorama pieces - but these two new "Kelvin" figures move the range firmly into fully articulated action figure status.
Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) are packed with a selection of Starfleet weaponry, communicators as well as alternative hands and a transporter pad base. Spock even gets a special Vulcan greeting hand... live long and prosper.
The packaging is the usual Select design - an oversized blister wrapped on one side by the card back. The artwork and design is beautiful and these will certainly have some serious shelf presence when they arrive in January 2019.
