A place for complete-off-topic conversations that have nothing to do with Star Trek. The rules still apply here, stay civil.

So, I've dipped my toes into another nerd hobby and saw that a new line of Trek figures are coming out.

I thought Khan might be a bit too tan, but looking at a Space Seed image, Ricardo Montalban is noticeably more tan in that episode than he was in TWoK.

Apparently if a neighboring planet blows up and throws your planet out of whack, your tan can get be diminished. No wonder he's angry :)

No, it's more "when your outdoor time is entirely in an EV suit that blocks the UVb rays that cause tanning - you lose your tan".

So basically you just stumbled on some quietly brilliant continuity maintenance. :cheersL: :cheersL:

I managed to derail my own topic within the OP itself.

That has to be a record.

I'll get it back on track! I love Pops and have... quite a few... including all the Trek ones they've made so far. Very happy to have new ones, and the Kirk in the chair is going to be a favorite.

In case anyone is curious, I do keep an online inventory of my Pops here. It's a little bit weird because I decided to get some trading stock/randomness with some Mystery Boxes, 1 10 pack of commons and 2 6 packs with 2 guaranteed Exclusives or better. (And wow, Smuggler's Bounty counts a source for Exclusive, but the Jyn Erso I got is worth less than all my common Pops)

I have a few more coming and some preordered (notably the Hamilton set coming out in July).

Also, continuing on the theme of classic Sci Fi from the OP, I was actually pretty shocked to find the one attached on FYE's site tonight. These days, if you try to talk to people about V, they think you mean V For Vendetta.
