Captain Picard and His Pimp Throne
I’m not the world’s biggest Star Trek fan, but I gotta give it props where props are due and when it comes to excellence in kick assery, nobody does it better better than Patric Stewart as Captain Picard. Sure I likes me some Kirk, but I’m a Stewart man all the way. The upcoming Star Trek 20th Anniversary Picard & Command Chair from Diamond Select is sculpted by Art Asylum and is nearly a perfect replication of The Picard.
You can almost hear this plastic Picard saying, “Make it so.” This figure has 16 fantastic points of articulation. Better yet, Picard comes with his mighty Captain’s chair. If you’re a Star Trek fan chomping at the bit to get this figure (and really who could blame you), expect him to be released sometime in August.

I hope you mean gay as in happy, because I see no indication of homosexuality in the picture.

I can’t wait to get my hands on this figure! For that matter, I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on Patrick Stewart either, but-oh, well, this is a family-friendly site!
The one thing I would really loved to have been able to buy at the Christy’s “Star Trek” auction would have been Picard’s chair!

Paul, you don’t see any slight homosexual undertone in that model? Ermmm, are you blind lol
Patrick Stewart is a good looking guy… in fact he takes after all of us Brits

DaveP, no I do not see any gayness in the figure… not that there’s anything wrong with that. In fact, he looks like he’s doing something very hetero like ordering up some beer and watching a pornographic video on the big Enterprise screen. A very STRAIGHT pornographic video.
.
That being said, if I was a lady I’d swoon for Stewart.

Lmao, that’s a good argument but I still maintain he looks as camp as chips!
Obviously there’s nothing wrong with being gay and having gay models but to paint Picard, that very butch male, 100% hetero starship captain as if he’s telling his young male friend to “come over here and undo my fly” is clearly not cricket!!!

Thanks for stopping by Kirksbabe… I think you may be a bit biased on this though…
