Star Trek: The Next Generation Holodeck Series Action Figure 3-Pack ("A Fistful of Datas")

This is a vintage triple-action figure set manufactured by Playmates Toys in the early 1990s, specifically referencing the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 'A Fistful of Datas.' The set includes three figures dressed in Old West attire: Alexander Rozhenko, Lt. Worf, and Lt. Commander Data as various holographic characters. The figures are made of molded plastic with multiple points of articulation and realistic costume detailing such as cowhide vests, bandanas, and holsters. This particular set is a 'Collectors Series Edition' as indicated by the individually numbered sticker (No. 008874) on the front of the packaging. The box features the iconic Star Trek logo, a depiction of the USS Enterprise-D, and a themed 'Holodeck Series' branding. Regarding condition, the packaging shows significant shelf wear. Notable issues include a crushed top-right corner of the cardboard box, a notable dent in the clear plastic display window, and frayed edges along the bottom corners. The internal 'A Fistful of Datas' display environment remains visible behind the figures. Despite the exterior box damage, the figures themselves appear to be factory-sealed and undisturbed in their original positions, retaining their original paint applications and molded details.

I have examined the images of the Star Trek: TNG 'A Fistful of Datas' 3-pack by Playmates. Authenticity appears consistent with original 1990s production, specifically noting the 'Collector Series' numbering (008874) and standardized molded plastic articulation typical of the Holodeck Series line. While the figures are factory-sealed, the packaging condition is a primary value driver. I observed significant structural fatigue, including a crushed right corner and a dented plastic window, which impacts the 'displayability' sought by mint-in-box (MIB) collectors. In the current market, Star Trek Playmates figures are abundant. While specific multi-packs like this command higher prices than single figures, the 'A Fistful of Datas' set is relatively common on the secondary market. Recent sales for pristine units range from $90-$120, but the documented shelf wear and box damage to this specific unit necessitate a downward adjustment to the $45-$65 range. Limitations: This appraisal is based on visual data only. A physical inspection is required to check for 'figure frosting' (plastic degradation), adhesive failure on the blister pack, or hidden sunlight bleaching on the rear graphics. Verification of the 'Collector Series' sticker's adhesive and ink consistency would be needed to rule out reproduction labels, though standard production appears genuine.
