Woo hit goal! Barely, again, due to a very slow Monday getting moving.
For that reason I'm going to very quickly share this *excellent* Borg figure in max picture minimum toot.
Switchable arms!
This guy is not just going to sit on my desk, he's coming home to fight a Klingon diplomat.
Probably won't have any unboxing tomorrow due to errands that will keep me below goal but let's see how Weds goes!

The back of her trading card does mention she had a Klingon father and Human mother.
Klingon/Human romance is a real potential fertile ground for fiction. Notably Lois McMaster Bujold's long and wonderful Vorkosigan series started as a bit of an idea about such a romance, which shows in the early part of Shards of Honor.
Contrary to rumor it was apparently never written as a fanfic but the influence is still there.

The figure RULES, though.
Turns out the Klingons are a little better for fun toy accessories than the Federation.
It's an ACTION figure, not a science/exploration/diplomacy figure.
The mask makes her look like Jason I guess but that's still cool. The sword was hard to get in her hand but once there sticks. The Klingon symbol base was also hard to connect but looks great.
Real happy with this one.

Well, a half-Klingon!
I admit I had to look at the STARFLEET PERSONEL RECORD DATA BASE PRINTOUT to remind myself exactly who she was, but I somewhat remembered this is Worf's, uh, co-parent?
(That's being kinda generous to Worf's level of parental care/responsibility for Alexander)
I kinda remember one episode with her but as you may have guessed from yesterday, my on command DS9 knowledge is a lot better than my TNG.

WHEW!
Well, day five in a row was a lot more of a grind but we just barely got there on goals.
And today's open is a special treat because we finally have someone who isn't human!
Friends, we have a KLINGON

That's about all to share pictures-wise.
As a DS9 fan having a very minor TNG character who conveniently resembles a popular TNG character as a DS9 figure as opposed to something DS9-specific is mildly disappointing, especially since the number of DS9 figures overall is kinda limited.
But then again I get that a Riker--even Thomas is prolly both easier to make and was more likely to sell in the 90s than overloooked guys like Weyoun or Martok
And he's fun!

I'm really missing the Space Thermos because this stuff is kinda boring space nonsense that he can't even hold--even the phaser. Other than the Deep Space Nine Monitor which I can only assume is a tv that only plays DS9 aka the perfect TV.

As a character study in meeting ones prior self or whatever there was an TNG episode where they found out Riker had beamed back from an away mission once. And also Riker had gotten stuck on the planet. Oops! Two Rikers!
Eventually the character stuff was resolved and Lt. Riker took their shared middle name Thomas and went off to be a productive Starfleet member.
UNTIL HE WASN'T
Because who better to show up on DS9 (SPOILER) as a MAQUIS INSURGENT than ol' Tom

"But wait!" Say people who are very nerdy but not quite nerdy enough. "Riker never showed up on Deep Space Nine!"
And those people are sorta right. Commander *Will* Riker never showed up on Deep Space Nine.
But Lieutenant *Thomas* Riker did!
