First announced last fall, the first wave of unique Star Trek action figures from the Nacelle Company were unveiled today at Toy Fair in New York—and all the action figures from wave one are now available to pre-order.
Wave 1 pre-sale reveal
As their name implies, The Nacelle Company has nerdy roots. Founded by Trekkie Brian Volk-Weiss, Nacelle Company is best known for their docuseries including The Toys That Made Us and The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek as well as producing the Gates McFadden InvestiGates podcast. They combined their love for toys and Star Trek with this new line of action figures which features fan favorites and deep cuts that span franchise history.
The Nacelle’s figures are 1/12 scale (about 6 to 7 inches) and “highly articulated,” similar to Hasbro’s Star Wars Black series. You can pre-order each figure individually for $29 at nacellestore.com or pick up all 8 in a bundle for $225. Wave 1 is expected to begin shipping in the Fall of 2025.
Designs for first wave was initially revealed during a panel at New York Comic-Con last October. Today at New York Toy Fair, Nacelle is showing off their first figures. “I’m honored with the overwhelmingly positive response from the Star Trek community on our first wave of figures,” said Nacelle Founder and CEO, Brian Volk-Weiss in a statement. “To earn the trust of this passionate and loyal fanbase, is truly one of the highlights of my career.”
Here are brand new images for each wave 1 figure (with accessories)…
