I swear shitty merch is the reason why Star Trek has always been viewed as a show for nerds while frat bros will happily wear Star Wars gear. $245 for a lizard action figure based on 1960s costume design?
I do NOT understand how they seem unable to capitalise on the ENDLESS opportunities for official merch. The money I'd spent if show accurate replicas were more easily available. I just wanted a TOS/SNW era tricorder (would've accepted cheap plastic and no electronics in it whatsoever) and also be able to eat that month. Even just the various uniforms, my god, they can't be that expensive if you're mass producing them? Instead I have to go to some Chinese ebay sellers and HOPE I get the correct sizes.
The low end of the merchandise continuum seems to be their biggest weakness. This higher-detail, higher-end stuff is plentiful, but the prices are unreal.
