Star Trek Barbies? That's how to make future babes geeks!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... with a brilliant concept. TREK BARBIES!!! Yes, every little girl in the world needs Star Trek Barbies, so that in like 15 years all future geeks will have excellent geek brides. Either that... or geek boys will be seen playing with these and get pummeled mercilessly until they are very nearly dead. That said... Look at Kirk's hair!!! Do you think that there is ANY CHANCE that it will stay like that? That'll fray and get crazy Einstein looking hair quick... won't it? Uhura is looking good, I might have to pick that one up... for Yoko. Yeah. For Yoko!

In a comic book store in Germany. But I didn't see them again after this, so I guess it's okay(?) that they do some again after 13 years.
-
...it wasn't a Doll of the Star Trek characters, it was THE Barbie in a classic Trek uniform, so it's different from these. I think.
-
...the Abraham Lincoln Action Figure that I saw in Toronto a few years ago.
-
...when someone says: "You play with dolls" and the other one yells angry: "They are action figures!!!"
This gag has been repeated a million times, but does anybody know where it was used the first time? -
I bought TOS Barbies years ago.... was happy to see they are worth about 5 cents more now then when I got them.
-
Looks a little too round-headed for the Quintos.
-
Give me the Shat doll!
-
Whats this bullshit?
-
Sweet Jesus, is Uhura really that anorexic looking? Her legs look as thick as my forearms in comparison. Great role model for the kiddies.
-
Truth.
-
That's the entire concept behind the new film. It was a doll tie-in all along!
-
That´s what Uhura needs.
God, I can´t imagine what an Amy Winehouse Barbie would look like -
Think toothpicks. With tattoos and track marks.
-
There will be far more 45-year-old men with these in their toy collections than 6-year-old girls, friend.
-
...is because we get our first look at some new Star trek gear; the new tricorders, communicators and phasers.
But no. No mention of any of that. Just goofing off about playing with barbies.
Other websites have posted close up, cropped images of the new gear. -
Failed '80s heartthrob Maxwell Caulfield.
-
is rolling over in her grave, and she isn't even dead yet. At least she looked like a real woman with real curves and not a fucking spaghetti noodle. *sigh*
-
from the annals of aicn's creepy chapter.
-
I don't even know why you're all feigning that faux-disinterest anyways. As soon as your local store gets some in, they'll be sold out, but not due to young girls.
-
It's a goddamn masterpiece compared to the shit we get foisted on us nowadays.
-
Ok, they are dolls.
-
Who says dolls promote an unnatural concept of beauty in young girls minds? The Uhura stick figure is perfectly natural...
-
... to make the Spock figure look entirely unlike Zachary Quinto.
-
...and I shudder to think some exec probably lobbied for him to play the part.
-
After the TOS Star Trek dolls that came out 20 years ago. JJ is trying to replicate everything that happened with Star Trek that happened before. Now where's my working walkie-talkie communicator?

The doll/action figure joke actually started in reality. Well, at least mine. When I brought my star trek ACTION FIGURES to school for show and tell. SCARRED!! Dolls, they called them dolls. I'm sorry, dolls do NOT time travel, shoot Klingons with phasers and analyse insects with tiny tricorders. well... in my world anyway. .. eh.. fuck 'em. I got laid about 4 years earlier than the lot of them.
-
It comes with all of Ken's stuff.
-
got stapled to Kirk's dome.
-
I like the old officer/riding boots better. Those are just....wrong. At least Uhura has Nazi jackboots.
-
Is it wrong to be attracted to the Uhura doll? I'm not asking for me, I'm asking for...for a friend.
-
Can't really see why people love it so much.
-
What drugs are you smoking? That was and still is the best Trek film ever. What was so bad about it?
-
I hope I can sneak into Mattel's booth this year.
-
They should animate that one scene, (you know which one) for the top of the AICN page, but use Harry and that Uhura doll. Hee hee.
-
not really
-
"Star Trek Babies" do do do do dooooo
-
Kirk is looking at Ken. The wrong way.
-
With Barbie dolls, even the MEN look feminine.If these were action figures, with real clothing, they'd be snatched up like free crack. As it stands, Spock and Kirk look like they just stumbled out of a gay club. Or a Twilight cattle call.
-
Gerry Anderson's 'Captain Scarlet' or that Japanese puppet show (Star Fleet?) were the first thing I thought of when I saw these things.

Did anyone else misread this headline as "Star Trek Babies"??
by regicidal_maniac
For a second my interest was piqued. For some reason Star Trek Babies seemed like a kind of 'so stupid it's actually cool' idea. I had visions of that JLU Babies episode.
-
Now they're flogging dolls.
-
see my post above
-
Is this our first look at JJ class phasers?
-
. . . that these damn things look gay?
-
They're all wearing sweaters.
-
They all end up that way by the time the kids are done playing with them.
-
I don't really buy any star trek stuff anyway, but this in particular- wow. How can star trek fans not be embarrassed by this? Star Wars and all the other major properties get cool toymakers- gentle giant, mcfarlane, and yes even hasbro makes good stuff. Star Trek has barbies. Good grief.
-
I had this terrible fear it was all going to go too far... it's only a few months off... lets keep it cool, huh? hey JJ. The film is locked, right? do me a favour. leave it a little while, have a watch and tweak once more as needed. seriously, don't hand us shit pleeaaaaase. that said, DO NOT fuck with it if you're happy with it. I hate that second guessing shit. you did give it a good poetic and satisfying ending tho right? Will i have a lump in my throat??
-
Captain Scarlet would make those two want their Mommies and not even break a sweat. :p
-
Christmas 1977. The ST figures I got were not much different that those looked (in style, obviously the faces were different). I got the whole bridge playset. Damn, what would all that stuff be worth now in mint?

They're Hideous

To that 55 y.old uncle who still dresses on his moms clothes
by ricarleite
The one your family advises you never to be alone with. He will own this dolls. Girls won't buy it. Maybe some Star Trek fan, for the financial value it might have in the future. Ridiculous old toys are valuable.
-
To which I immediately pictured a poorly animated television show, with the theme song to Muppet Babies, only it would be Star Trek babies. Oh, all the trouble that rascally baby Kirk would get into. Baby Spock would find his weekly hijinx "most illogical"!That would be such an awesome show.

Captain Scarlett rocks! And I would love to see love movie of th
by col. tigh-fighter
But yeah. these dolls are gay. I know, I fancy the Spok one ;)
-
enough you fuckin retards. It's called wishful thinking..thats right some people are actually intellectually capable of deciding NOT to see a film and stick with it..
-
on Spock.
-
"They'll make your dreams come truuuue..
Star Star Star...
Trek Trek Trek Bayyyyyyyayyyaayyybeeeees!"
Good Song. -
Harry is too young to remember those.
-
This isn't the first time they tried to hook the fangirl market. Yes, there was the collector's set in the '90s, but they also did characters from the DC and Marvel universes. I'm disappointed they never got the rights to make the movie version of Elektra...I'd rather have my niece playing with a girl in corset and pants rather than that ridiculous scantily clad ninja costume.
-
In fact I will DEFINITELY see it if the girl I desperately want to go out with (who is a huge star trek fan) agrees to go with me. But on it's own merits? Maybe a few weeks later. Let's put it this way- there have been movies I have been much more enthusiastic about that I never got around to seeing. But to your point, quantize, I never saw Star Wars "Clone Wars" and I really don't care to, either. I don't watch the cartoons either. So yeah, it is possible to elect not to see something and stick with that decision.

I think it is healthy to have girls grow up with unreasonable
by conspiracy
expectations for their own beauty...keeps them off the couch and on the treadmill.
Still Why does Uhura have a phaser...where is the bitches communicator? -
as far as that kind of thing goes, because they do look much like the ones from the 70s
-

I hope Kirk and Uhura's skullcaps come off for Sylar!
by snake foreskin
He uses his phaser to cut their craniums open. SYLAR GOTTA EAT!
-
Especially now. Wow.
-
Dunno really, just found it a bit boring. I kind of prefer "Undiscovered Country", but thats just my opinion.

What's this 'Star Trek Barbies' shit?! What's this bullshit?!
by youareallmybastardchildren
I don't fuckin' care! It don't matter to Jesus!Trekkie bastards.
-
FAIL!
-
i still havent seen indiana jones 4 yet motherfuckers. thats right, not even out of curiousity to witness the badness. heck i only somewhat like the other indiana joneses anyway.
-
You're one up on me dude coz I wished i HAD NOT seen it...cant erase that now
-
freak me out!
Uhura was a sturdy woman. This doll has stick legs, her calves and thighs are the same circumference! Seriously, I haven't found that the average guy has thighs three times the circumference of the average gal. Yuck. And the "future babes" bit? grosses me out too. But who cares. I doubt kids will be begging for these anyway. They shoulda been out for Christmas if they wanted a chance outside of the kids-with-trekkie-parents market.
