Star Trek Nemesis Riker & Troi

DIAMOND SELECT TOYS AND COLLECTIBLES, NEW FORCE TEAM UP FOR STAR TREK

May 2006 - Diamond Select Toys and Collectibles, LLC, New Force Comics and CBS Consumer Products have teamed up to offer an exclusive Star Trek Nemesis action figure two-pack. These figures are part of the second series of Diamond Select Toys' Star Trek: The Next Generation® action figures. The Nemesis Riker and Troi two-pack fills an important role in completing the movie-style uniforms for this fantastic cast.

Based on the latest Star Trek® feature film, the Nemesis Riker and Troi two-pack gives fans an all-new sculpt for Troi as well as new bodies for both of these beloved characters. After having finally tied the knot and ended their decade-long courtship, Commander William Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi were perfect choices for this exclusive twopack.

"It is great to have New Force on board for Star Trek," commented Chuck Terceira, Director of Diamond Select Toys, "They definitely have a strong presence in the Trek community and we are glad to be teaming up with them on this unique release."

Art Asylum has worked on the development and sculpting for this release, which features 20 points of articulation and multiple era-specific accessories as well as an all-new blister card packaging design large enough to accommodate the dual release.

"We are very excited about DST and AA teaming up to bring the fans the future of Star Trek toys and collectibles," commented Rick Whitelock, owner of New Force Comics. "We look forward to this being another successful release amongst many Star Trek products that we will be able to offer to the Star Trek community and fandom."
