As shown at London Toy Fair in January 2025, Master Replicas are releasing a new line of Star Trek action figures preliminarily titled the Delta Series. Now over on StarTrek.com the line has officially been unveiled along with images of the first few figures. The line has made the decision to follow on directly from the Playmates series and will keep the same styling and scale of 4.5 inches. The license that Master Replicas hold is for figures from the newer Star Trek Universe shows from Paramount - namely Picard, Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks. The first figures in the line will be drawn from this trio of shows - but the deal also covers Discovery, Prodigy and Section 31. The older movies and series will fall under the Nacelle Toys deal who are preparing a line of 6 inch scale collector figures. From Picard comes new figures of Jean Luc Picard, Riker, and Worf. They are joined by Spock from Strange New Worlds and by Boimer, Mariner, and Tendi from Below Decks. The press details also confirm work is ongoing on Pike and Ortegas from Strange New Worlds. The line launches in July 2025 with Spock and Picard in the initial offering. Spock comes with a Phaser, Phaser Holster, Tricorder, and Communicator. Picard will come with a phaser and PADD. Further figures will then follow on a monthly release basis at Master Replicas website with the UK price tag at £24.99 "I'm so happy to be doing this," Ben Robinson, who runs the program along with Eaglemoss' Starships collection, tells StarTrek.com. "The new shows have been crying out for action figures. There are a lot of collectors out there who already have Playmates figures and I want to give them the chance to bring those collections up-to-date by adding characters like Pike and Mariner. As always, we're going to go deep and I'm excited that we're already working on Ortegas and Tendi." Master Replicas acknowledges nothing has been more popular than the classic 4.75" figures from Playmates, which first debuted in the 90s. Recognizing the place Playmates figures have in a lot of people's hearts, they aim to continue the story of action figures at that size. This new programs does not ask fans to rebuild their collections from scratch, but to add to what they already have. Star Trek: Lower Decks streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. In Canada, it airs on Bell Media’s CTV Sci-Fi Channel. The series will also be available to stream on Paramount+ in the UK, Canada, Latin America, Australia, Italy, France, the Caribbean, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland and South Korea.
