New Star Trek Figure Pays Tribute To Captain Pike

   

The first pilot for Star Trek: The Original Series, titled "The Cage," was rejected by NBC, leading to another pilot called "Where No Man Has Gone Before" being filmed. The initial installment introduced the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, led by Captain Christopher Pike, and first officer Number One.

Fans of the late Jeffrey Hunter's portrayal of Captain Pike are now able to add a museum-quality action figure of the character to their Star Trek collection. Pre-orders are open until June 30, with an estimated delivery expected in the latter part of 2025. "The 1:6-scale figure re-creates the unique Starfleet costumes seen in the originally unaired first pilot, 'The Cage,'" the description of from the EXO-6 website reads.

"Jeffrey Hunter’s portrayal of Pike made him a memorable and admirable character despite only appearing in a single episode," EXO-6's description continues. "Many changes were made to the props and the costumes when Star Trek became a regular series, and this figure set includes the original designs, meticulously researched and executed in minute detail. Standing approximately 12 inches tall, every element, from his 23rd-century tunic to his custom black boots, is authentically reproduced."
