Playmates toys has officially announced the release date for their Star Trek film toyline.
On Sunday April 19 fans everywhere will be able to get their hands on a plethora of action figures, ships, playsets, and accessories from J.J. Abrams' Trek relaunch.
Some of Playmates' key retailer partners include Toys R' Us, Target, Walmart, K-Mart, and Amazon.com.
For the first time in over a decade you'll be able to walk into one of these major stores and find an entire section devoted to Trek merchandise.
Toys R Us seems to be one of the most appealing spots to get your Trek merchandise at since you will also be able to find various exclusive items including 12 inch versions of Captain Pike and Sulu from the Playmates line as well as a few other items from the Original Series courtesy of DST and Art Asylum.
The major retailer has already launched its online Trek Store and most of the Playmates and Art Aylum items are already up for pre-order.
Join us the week of April 19 as we begin our extensive coverage of all the new items. I will be posting multiple pictures and reviews of all the toys, figures, and collectibles as soon as I get my hands on them.
Let the hunt begin!!!
Hey NG,
ReplyDeleteI just saw a post at TNI that people are starting to find Trek Toys at TRU before the street date. I'm going to check our TRU tonight and see if anything turns up, I'm not holding my breath, our TRU seems to always get stuff last, but you might see what's hitting in CA.

I'll have to schedule an away mission first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks for the heads up!
