James Kirk



James Tiberius Kirk
is by far my favorite Star Trek starship Captain.  He’s also my favorite Star Trek character overall with Data from The Next Generation coming in a close second.

Kirk set the standard by which other Star Trek starship captains are compared.  No one could match his passion, cleverness and resourcefulness.

There was no such thing as a no-win scenario as far as Kirk was concerned.

The Kirk statue is fashioned after the captain as he was seen as in The Original Series.

He wears black, flared at the ankles, bell-bottom pants, black boots, a yellow long sleeve shirt with a black turtleneck collar, yellow rank strips on each wrist and a Federation symbol on his chest.

The statue, with the base, stands about 10 inches tall.

The base is shaped like a honeycomb section and looks like striated gray rock (slate like),

One area is a slightly raised.  Pink pointed crystals pop up from the rock.  The are 18 of them in various sizes.

The Kirk figure stands with its legs slightly spread with one foot on the upraised rock base.  Kirk holds a Phaser in his right hand as if ready to fire.  He’s slightly crouched with his left hand pulled slightly back as if prepared to jump into action.

The likeness to actor William Shatner’s face is pretty impassive right down to Kirks front hair curl.

Coloration is superb with slight tonal variations.  The sculpt work is solid with a nicely balanced feel and realistic body twists and clotting folds.  The head and hand sculpts looks realistic.

The heavy base and pose of the figure make it very stable.

Included with the figure is a Certificate Of authenticity from Diamond Select and Art Asylum.

Of the 1,700 statues released I have number 91.

The large box that contains the statue has Kirk photos on all sides.  Opening the flip lid reveal a Styrofoam container split in the middle and is secured by tape.

Opening the container reveals the figure snug in a Styrofoam cocoon and wrapped in clear plastic. It's extremely well done figure and it packaging keeps from damage.

Doctor McCoy and Mr. Spock figures are also available with bases that interlock with Kirk’s base.


Matthew 5:10 (NKJV) “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
