Art Asylum Diamond Select Star Trek 7-inch Action Figure Saavik from The Wrath of Khan. RARE. This Star Trek action figure
was produced by Art Asylum in conjunction with an affiliate of Diamond Comic
Distributors, also known as Diamond Select Toys LLC. Art Asylum premiered its first Star Trek products
in 2001, while it was still an independent toy manufacturer. Releases included
seven-inch action figures, like this one.
Art Asylum's toys differed greatly from those of its predecessors due to
the use of computer scanning technology at Gentle Giant Studios to create
highly detailed sculpts of people. For its line of Star Trek action
figures, an innovative material called "Kreaton" was used to conceal
the joints on the figures' limbs. These action figures are considered the best
Star Trek figures produced, with excellent likenesses. Unfortunately,
distribution of the toy line was sporadic, making some of the early action
figures very rare. In 2007, the company
was acquired by Diamond Select Toys LLC, and distribution improved
somewhat but never reached the levels of Hasbro’s Star Wars line. The Star Trek figures remain rare and highly
collectible. I am always willing to combine shipping costs for multiple figure purchases. I ship USPS Priority Mail whenever possible. Please check out my other Star Trek figures, and thank you for 20 years on Ebay.
