For the true collectorhttp://www.barbiecollector.com/news/news.aspx?news_id=157

The advertising copy makes me nearly gag. I wonder how many of these have sold?

seen these a while back at Wal-Mart. I considered buying them for zero point six eight seconds. For a nerd like me, that is nearly an eternity

The Kirk and Uhura ones looked pretty cute. Spock looks weird.

I'd say the twelve-inch ST figures have some of the best likenesses by comparison, and some more than others within the greater collection; I guess with Barbie, there is a certain model they have, which is hard to stray from, and yet be their general design aesthetic?....

Barbie collectors will buy it because it's Barbie. Whether ST fans will buy it is another question. However if anyone has a young child or knows one who likes Barbie then perhaps a ST Barbie would be a nice gift.

They had a nice collection of Star Trek toys at the National Air and Space Museum when Amy and I went last month. These dolls look different from the ones they had though. You can even see the TOS Enterprise (the origninal model) in the background. (click the pic to get a much larger view)
