Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

The first season is a little rough; at first it feels like an inferior Star Trek ripoff, a lot of adventures of the week, the effects and sets are cheesy even by Trek standards, the acting is a little stilted as some of the actors are still finding their strides.

Just before season 2 it gets its shit together and gets GOOD. I'm going to accuse it of having some of the best character arcs ever committed to video tape and some details that are going to make you say "They wrote this in 1996. How did they write this in 1996? How did they know?" upon viewing today.
