Keenser









No fancy backstory for this custom. Back in 2009 when "Star Trek" was in theatres and the stores were flooded with unsold Wave 1 figures, the second wave was cancelled and the figure I was most looking forward to was relegated to "unreleased" status. I wanted to add Keenser, Scotty's assistant at the remote Federation station, to my misc. aliens collection as I thought he'd look great working alongside the Ugnauts at the Carbon Freeze facility but was unable to ever get my hands on one due to the cancellation.

Flash forward to 2013 and Keenser was released as a Kreon in the blind bag assortment of single figures. Doing some research, I worked out that the Kreon head would fit on a smaller stature figure and found the Kreon identification codes online so I could get Keenser without getting unwanted Kreons. The Keenser Kreon that I got tonight was a factory error in that his goggles were unpainted so the only real work done on this figure aside from the headswap (non-human Kreon heads are REALLY soft vinyl and can slip right over SW neckballs) was painting the goggles (flat black for the strap and rims, gloss black for the lenses).

I dig it, and I dig how it came about. Would never have guessed that for a kreo head.

Awesome! I actually looks at those Trek Kreon wondering if I could do anything the parts. I couldn't think of anything. This one turned out great.

I like Keener's character more than his design, but this figure is genius!

Thanks! This one is the only head that is even remotely 1/18 scale, the rest would look like the worst pinheaded offender from the VvV line if put on a 1/18 body

If you want one, his code on the top left of the packaging ends in "06"

What do the packages look like?

I'm not even certain I've seen them in person.

Itty bitty foil pouches like the Joe Kreon blind bags.

is Keenser in Into Darkness? I skipped the movie for DVD but I assumed Keenser would be dropped without explanation despite being on Enterprise at the end if Trek '09.

the custom rules. use of the Kreo head is brilliant.
