Back when I was a kid the only place I could buy Star Trek action figures was Zellers (a Canadian department store now bought out by Target). I really wanted Voyager action figures, specifically Captain Janeway, but the only one they ever got in was “Mutated Tom Paris”:
Yes, they made an action figure of Paris in the infamously bad Voyager episode “Threshold”. It’s also possible to find action figures of such seemingly random characters like: “Translucent Geordi La Forge as a Tarchannen III Alien”, Shinzon’s Viceroy from Star Trek: Nemesis, Riker disguised as a Malcorian from “First Contact”, and a raft of alien men who appeared in no more than one episode each (Esoqq, Dathon, etc.).
As far as I’m concerned, with action figures, the more the merrier! But I was looking at the lists of what figures have been made (full credit to my friend Jonathan for getting me interested) and seeing all these odd choices made me really notice the gaps.
We did get a few awesome action figures of women supporting or guest-starring characters, like K’Ehleyr (who came with a badass spiked glove), Nurse Ogawa, B’Elanna as a full Klingon (from “Faces”), and Lwaxana Troi. But there were also some really significant ones left out.
So without further ado…
