/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I think I've got a jar big enough for him to fit in.

The toy is indestructible so it doesn't matter if you remove him from the original packaging. Existential suffering doesn't affect the value. Only physical damage.

The packaging has the new style combadge but the figure has the older style. I don’t know if O’Brien ever wore this style uniform on DS9. Did they just reuse a TNG design and slap it into DS9 packaging?

I don't even think that head is an O'Brien head. If it is, it was sculpted by someone who had never seen Colm Meany and was working like a police sketch artist.

It kinda looks like Lt. Carey from Voyager.

He got done dirty as an engineer too. Instantly demoted and forced to work for his new Maquis boss with a temper problem, disappearing for four or five years and then getting killed.

Didn't even bother updating the uniform. Pfft.

I love the "close counts in hand grenades" face sculpts in this whole toy line.

They're great toys, which makes the "someone who once got mistaken for" face sculpting really stand out.

The design team clearly did great work, (the Data and Locutus toys were particularly delightful) so I imagine the potato face has to do with manufacturing technology limitations.

How long has he been locked in that cage? A lifetime?

The action figure made for Sid from Toy Story!
