Playmates Action Figures

The Star Trek Playmates action figures of the late-1980s, early-1990s, were always some of the coolest. Starting with the early Star Trek films and the hit television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, young fans got a chance to relive their favorite moments through small, plastic figurines, while older fans got an item to collect. They were always a hoot to have, especially when they started creating lines of figures based on the backstories of characters, like the Starfleet Academy line that depicted Worf, Jean-Luc Picard, William Riker, and Geordi La Forge as young cadets.

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

Sadly, Star Trek games aren't exactly the most well-received. While you can have a lot of fun with a variety of different Trek games, as it's all based on subjective reviews, what can't be argued is that Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force is the most favorably received game out there. When it was released in 2000, it was a hotly received item from fans from all over the place. It's still one of the best games going in the Trek fandom. While it no longer has a physical option to purchase for new players, fans can get it on Gog whenever they'd like.
