While at the recent Wizard run Chicago Comic Con I went on a sort of frenzied spree buying old Playmates Star Trek figures. There were tons of them for five bucks or less, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to finally check out these figures after missing all of them when they were originally released. A few of the figures came with customer response cards from Playmates, so I did what any rational person would do. I filled out one of the nearly ten year old surveys. After answering questions about my birth date and address I filled out the rest of the card. Here’s what I put:
1. Star Trek Product Purchased:
Riker action figure
2. Name of Store Where Purchased:
Chicago Wizard World
3. Heard about the product:
In a print ad/article (this is sort of true, blog was not an option)
4. Which Star Trek shows do you read regularly?
I checked all the options which where Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager.
5. Rank the shows below 1-4, with 1=Best:
1. The Next Generation, 2. Deep Space Nine, 3. Original Series, 4. Voyager
6. How would you rate yourself as a Star Trek Fan?
Somewhat loyal
7. How many Playmates’ Star Trek items do you own?
Some
8. Who is your favorite Star Trek character?
Picard
9. What is your favorite Playmates’ Star trek item?
Next Generation Bridge
10. What other Star Trek figures or accessories would you like to see?
Bridge of the Defiant
Will I get updates and special offers from Playmates as the card indicates, perhaps even free toys? Will they release a bridge for the Defiant for a line that’s been canceled for many years? Who knows!? I’ll update you if I get any kind of response.
