Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Stamps

Star Trek Deep Space Nine Stamps
We just got news about some new US Star Trek postage stamps and now we are learning that both Palau and Guyana have just released sets of Deep Space Nine stamp designs for those regions. The Palau stamps all focus on the ships of DS9. A set of six features various ships from the series, arranged on the sheet as if they were all flying around the station. They also have a single panoramic format stamp featuring the USS Defiant, that was released separately. Those regions are so lucky. These are really cool and a bit more thought out than what we are getting in the US. They are super colorful and jump off the sheets.

The stamps in Guyana focus on the characters. Their panoramic stamp features Jadzia Dax and Benjamin Sisko, while they also offer a set of six individual character stamps. Maybe a friend in the area will mail me some.

USPS 50th Anniversary Star Trek Stamps For 2016

USPS 50th Anniversary Star Trek Stamps For 2016
As part of next year’s celebrations honoring the 50th anniversary of the original Star Trek, the United States Postal Service will be offering four Star Trek themed postage stamps.

In 2016 the USPS will offer a set of four special stamps from the Final Frontier. Some of you might remember the first Star Trek postage stamp, worth 33 cents, which was released in September of 1999 for the USPS’s “Celebrate the Century” initiative. It will be nice to have some Star Trek stamps to stick on the corners of our envelopes once again. These new ones look pretty awesome. If you still use stamps, you’ll want to get some of these.

Rare Star Trek Photos From Gene Roddenberry’s Archive

Rare Star Trek Photos From Gene Roddenberry's Archive
Star Trek’s 50th anniversary is next year, and so Roddenberry Entertainment has announced that next year they will be releasing a ton of rare photos, memos, script pages, documents and more from their archives. One can only imagine what is in those archives. It is a treasure trove of Trek.

They are calling this “The 366 Project,” and starting in 2016 they will release one piece of Star Trek history on their social media channel every single day. So over that year, we will have 366 pieces of historical Trek artifacts in total. I can’t wait to see what is coming. There should be a lot of good stuff in there.

Star Trek Spock 1:12 Collective Action Figure From Mezco

Star Trek Spock Collective Action Figure From Mezco
Can you look at this new Mezco figure and not think of it as the best TOS era Spock action figure ever? No, you can’t. Because it quite simply is the best. If you can show me a better Spock from that era, I’d love to see it. This is the first in Mezco’s new One:12 Collective range of super-detailed actions figures. I can’t wait to see more of the crew.

He has a real fabric uniform. He also has two head sculpts: one with an arched eyebrow. He also comes with multiple hands, including live long and prosper and mind meld poses. The equipment is just as good as the rest of this set. The communicator, phaser and tricorder have articulated details as well. Not to mention the fact that this is a stunning likeness to Leonard Nimoy. Well done Mezco. You have my money. Spock will be available in June, but you can pre-order him right now.
