10 Star Trek Toys That Sucked

Ok, you know that the Spock Helmet is going to be on this list, so let's put that aside for the moment. What do you think were those toys with a Star Trek logo that simply didn't deliver? Or, perhaps, were so unbelievably wide of the mark that they just toyed with all of the wrong emotions?

One look at this writer's collection will tell you that toys aren't simply for Christmas. Why, one can burn through their pay packet every day of the year! But in the spirit of the season, let's look at those toys that you'll unwrap with the resounding sounds of disappointment.

Unless you're like me, in which case, gimme that helmet, now! The heroes over at Technabob complied a list of the most interesting toys in the Trek history so do check out their original article here.

Before we go further, we know that there are those toys that are beloved by any number of folks, regardless of the overall quality. If you love them, then you're right! If you objectively think that they suck, then my friend, you may also be right! This list is here to have a bit of fun on the theme, and is not to be taken too seriously. Let's dive in, and hope that one or more of these items can help us swim.

We know full-well that we'll be getting some people's backs up with this one, and in all honesty, it's a matter of time until this beauty makes an appearance on mine or Ellie's heads in a video.

However.

It's a bit bloody naff, all the same! The main reason that it pops up here is that, turn the clocks back, imagine being that child on Christmas morning that opens up their gift...to this. Oh, they might get that initial buzz of excitement from seeing the words Star Trek emblazoned across the packaging.

Then, the quick, painful truth sets in. They've been given the Spock Helmet. They are going to have to wear it at Christmas dinner, because that's the rules for any and all clothing or jewelery-type items received on the day. Granny's looking at the plate. Grandad's got his arms crossed behind him as he stares out of the window, wondering where it all went wrong.

The Helmet may be a beloved fandom item now, but at what cost, my friends? At what cost?

At least Billups is happy, eh?
