Master Replicas cancels Star Trek Collector figures of Data, La Forge, Mbenga, and Rutherford

In an email to collectors, Master Replicas have shared the disappointing news that their Star Trek collector figures of Mbenga from Strange New Worlds, La Forge and Data from Picard, and Rutherford from Lower Decks have all been cancelled.
The reason in the email is quoted as "due to a change in our Star Trek Licensing Agreement". This is very much linked to the recent Skydance takeover of Paramount and changes to licensing agreements.
It therefore seems that another Star Trek line is ending prematurely, leaving those who started collections missing key characters - the exact same way it ended for those that backed McFarlane and then the Playmates return.

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...
