NYCC ’26: Lucille Ball among Nacelle Company’s STAR TREK figure reveal highlights

Pre-sale for Wave 3 figures begins November 20th

The Nacelle Company panel always delivers at NYCC, in no small part because Brian Volk-Weiss is as big a fan as anyone in the room. If he’s excited about a launch (and he always is), it’s a good bet that he’s found the elusive combination that sends fans and collectors reaching for their credit cards. To wit, Nacelle’s Wave 1 Star Trek figures are in their fifth printing, and Volk-Weiss estimates they may be the best-selling Trek figures since the 90s.

Here’s what we took away from October 8th’s panel:

Pre-sale for Wave 3 figures begins November 20th
Volk-Weiss hopes Wave 2 figures will ship between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but he’s prioritizing quality over speed, so that timing may shift.
Wave 2 Captain Kirk can sit on his horse. Volk-Weiss proclaimed, “If we’re late, twenty percent of why we’re late is that damn horse.”
Expect figures galore in 2027! Nacelle hopes to release two waves and two exclusives next year, for a total of 22 figures.
The panel revealed Wave 3 renders of Sulu and the Lucille Ball/Gene Roddenberry two-pack, showcasing the level of detail that Nacelle is known for.
Sulu’s accessories include the ill-fated Alpha 177 canine (from “The Enemy Within”), a tricorder, a communicator, a phaser, and his feisty carnivorous plant, Gertrude (“The Man Trap”). “If you’re asking why there’s no sword,” Volk-Weiss seemed to tease, “ask me again in nine months.”
Gene Roddenberry’s accessories include a gold captain’s chair, a typewriter, the original Star Trek script, alt hands in a Vulcan salute, and a U.S.S. Enterprise model similar to the one now on display at the MIT Museum through March 2027.
Lucille Ball comes with her own original Star Trek script, a Desilu checkbook, and a pen. Though not pictured, Volk-Weiss also expects her to come with a director’s chair emblazoned with “Ball” on the back.
Volk-Weiss also brought a section of the bridge set (Spock’s station), which is expected to go on pre-sale next year. The complete bridge will consist of 12 sections, priced at $60 each, and once assembled will measure about 3.5′ wide.
