Toy-Ventures: ERTL Star Trek 3

July 25, 2019 By Mantooth In Uncategorized 4 Comments

We’re back after a short break and going to take a look at a 1980s property for a change.

This week is all about the rarely talked about ERTL Star Trek 3 line, one of the most obscure toy lines of the 1980s. We delve into the back story of Star Trek movie toys, how these got made and why they didn’t really succeed.

I like it when you delve into the 80's from time to time. I remember the 70's somewhat, but the 80's I remember the most from my childhood.

Ah Star Trek figures, Fun stuff!

Unfortunately I can't say I saw many in my childhood. =( Would have loved to have had them.

I love that they used the same body for all the Starfleet personnal. Seems James Doohan lost a lot of weight with his figure…
