After initially being revealed last year, we’ve not heard much about the first two Star Trek figures from McFarlane Toys. Initially set to hit earlier this year, the figures are now scheduled for release some time this Summer. The first two figures are Star Trek: The Original Series – Captain James T. Kirk and Star Trek: The Next Generation – Captain Jean-Luc Picard. New official production photos of the figures have been released, giving us our first look at how the figures turned out.
The 7″ scale figures are set to come packed in collector friendly window boxes. They will include themed accessories and about 16 points of articulation. Each figure is priced at $19.99. Read on for photos and official details.
Star Trek: The Original Series – Captain James T. Kirk
Captain of the USS Enterprise, Captain James Tiberius Kirk is one of the most renowned Starfleet leaders. Kirk leads his crew to the far reaches of space, Where No Man Has Gone Before. Regarded as a maverick, Captain Kirk strays from the path of Starfleet regulations, but only when the ends justify the means.
Captain Kirk is shown in his Command Yellow Starfleet uniform and will come with a Type II Phaser, a Communicator, and a Phaser Rifle. Figure Stands 7 inches tall and comes complete with multiple articulation points and a stylized brand specific base.

Star Trek: The Next Generation – Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Captain of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), Captain Jean-Luc Picard shows that diplomacy can be just as effective as jumping head first into action. Despite his mastery of rhetoric, Picard is also known as an incredibly tactical Captain when faced with a violent threat. Captain Picard leads his diverse crew to seek out new life and new civilizations and to boldly go Where No One Has Gone Before.
Captain Picard is shown in his Command Red Starfleet (Type B) uniform and will come with a Type II Phaser and the Ressikan Flute, from the episode Inner Light. Figure stands 7 inches tall and comes complete with multiple articulation points and a stylized brand specific base.
New Official Photos of McFarlane's Star Trek Captain Kirk and Captain Picard Figures
These are very McFarlane... but they look good, especially for the price. Wish they were making Spock and Data next instead of STD characters.
I think the Kirk looks pretty decent, but the Picard didn't fare quite as well. I'm hoping it's the lighting they used, as I am very much looking forward to these figures.
I’m just glad they’re not using the original makeup looks they promoted before. They look good for what they are I think. I mean I think this Picard looks better than the QMX one.
I guess I'm spoiled by Legends but the limited articulation is a bummer.
The hand painted protos were great, other than Kirk's overly blushed cheeks.
Both look okay. Jean Luc looks a bit shinny and face seems to be lacking details of an aged man.
Shame they will do STD which will kill the line immediately. STD, much like Star Wars, openly hates fans....
Wow... they are SOOOOO different from the DST figures of yesteryear...
I'm prepared for the same QC issues and out-dated articulation/joints as the Stranger Things figures- but I know I'm going to buy them anyways. Looking forward to seeing how they compare to the still respectable Art Asylum Trek figures.
(Mcfarlane's are a 7" scale whereas DST's are more 8" scale)
I'm still looking forward to getting Picard even if his face winds up being a bit off.
I guess they’re waiting to see how these do? Really wanna see what they have planned after Kirk & Picard. My guess would be Spock & Data... other than that, looking forward to these... hope we can get a good line going here
I need that Kirk figure. Kirk and Spock, and maybe a command chair (assuming the leg joints permit a seated position), and then life will be complete.
I wonder how they’ll mesh with NECA figures? I’d like to have that Picard on my shelf with Dutch, Rambo, Batman and other 80s heroes (Kirk I will likely buy simply on principle, LOL).
I didn't know Picard was Asian...
The Picard they showed in the Star Trek episode of Toys That Made Us looked really good, just hoping these are over-processed promo shots like Hasbro's Marvel Legends pics...
Picard is disappointing. Kirk looks fine. I'll get both. Maybe. I want the bridge crews from TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY and DIS but if McFarlane are going to release two figures every six months or something that is never going to happen.
I think Patrick Stewart has a difficult-to-capture likeness. Even the high-end statues don't really get him right. They really focus in on his nose and then the rest of the face suffers.
Man, I'm more disappointed in Picard's accessories than articulation or anything. I can't imagine posing him in any acrobatics, but it's more natural for him to stand around with props.
I'd love at least a cup of Earl Grey and/or a PADD. Kirk gets a big ass extra phaser rifle, if they didn't want to waste any additional molding on accessories, Picard could have gotten TNG's type 3 rifle. I'm sure that'd be reusable for future figures.
Anyway, not terrible for the price point. It's a lot cheaper than paying for 2nd hand Art Asylum figures.

Looking forward to being able to re-create "Miri" using the StrangerThings kids
Mega Construx figures are better than these.
