One benefit of the ball-and-socket Kreon arms is that I just swapped them and spun the torso around for a black shirt essentially making him 'Harrison'. I'm mildly tempted to get another single Klingon and take his arms and coat for this guy.

I wouldn't be too, too surprised if we see a couple more sets get revealed shortly or at SDCC. After all... THERE IS NO CHEKHOV IN SERIES 1!!!

My bad then - can't see the dark blue of the chest too clearly in any of the pictures I've seen online and the face just looked like how I imagined they'd represent Harrison.

Mmm, humble pie :)

I too had assumed it'd end up being John Harrison but seeing as Cumberbatch never wears that costume in the film...

That set is even worse that I imagined because it doesn't really make any sense with the scene in the film. But at least it's somewhat relevant... there is no beaming of Klingons onto Vulcan as the "Transport Trouble"set would have you believe...

You're though, and as a battle builder they should have kept him here and swapped out ones from the sets for different characters, we aren't getting, like Carol Marcus, John Harrison, Chris Pike, Admr. Marcus, CHEKHOV, etc. etc. etc.

Klingons are warriors, it makes sense to do a single-pack for ARMY BUILDING!

Surprising that they didn't choose to just call the minifigure "John Harrison".

I'm right behind in hoping that we somehow get some real action figures sooner rather than later. I begrudgingly put up with the Reboot Playmates 6 inch figures to have some representation of this version of the crew, but I want a decent Cumberbatch for my collection!

I saw that set the other day, and didn't see a name anywhere on the package.....I figured it was a Benedict Cumberbach figure, and they were doing more of their "not call him Khan" that they have been doing so much........

But only because none of the six (seven? eight?) TRUs I checked when it was supposed to have come it delivered...

The same Galactus set that never showed up in stores and I had to buy online?

Or are you saying that AvX has better selling power because TRU actually put this set in a few stores, even if the nearest was a 45 minute drive away?

"The Galactus set was infuriatingly hard to find," is my main point here...

Unless they single-card Aquaman or roll out some other cool or personally-beloved villains I can't imagine getting anymore of these.
