A new ⅙ scale figure of Star Trek: Voyager’s Captain Kathryn Janeway has been revealed and is available to pre-order. Captain Janeway, played by Kate Mulgrew, led seven seasons of Star Trek: Voyager between 1995 and 2001, and is one of the franchise’s most iconic figures. After almost two decades away from the character, Mulgrew is reprising her role as Captain Janeway in the ongoing animated children’s show Star Trek: Prodigy.
The version of Captain Janeway that audiences see aboard the USS Protostar in Star Trek: Prodigy is a command training hologram, but complete with all of the Voyager Captain’s personality and experience. In the new series, the holographic Janeway acts as a mentor to a young Prodigy crew, guiding them through their dangerous adventures across the Delta quadrant. Mulgrew’s Star Trek: Voyager co-star Robert Beltran will also be reprising his role as Chakotay, now a captain of his own ship.
Now, a video from Sideshow Collectibles has revealed a new 11-inch figure of Captain Kathryn Janeway. The figure comes complete with a variety of accessories (including Janeway's signature coffee cup) and multiple detachable hands. The ⅙ version of Mulgrew’s character is also is fully poseable, and can be attached to its own transporter-pad stand. Check out the video below for a full unboxing and deep dive into the model:
The figure, which is also available to order on Sideshow, boasts an impressive sculpt and some stunning attention to detail. Captain Janeway’s mug, most commonly used for drinking black coffee straight out of the replicator, will be familiar to any Star Trek: Voyager fan, as will the compression phaser rifle. The figure’s jacket is lined with two magnets so a tricorder and hand-phaser holsters can be attached, allowing for the Captain to be posed with any combination of devices. The scaled down model depicts Captain Janeway as she appears towards the end of Star Trek: Voyager, when the series was beginning to explore more challenging themes.
Alongside Captain Janeway, other Star Trek models from the collectibles company include Captain Picard , Lieutenant Commander Data, and Voyager holographic Voyager crew member, the EMH. Collecting models of iconic characters, ships, and space stations from the franchise is a common hobby among Star Trek fans, and as the franchise continues its expansion, there will surely be plenty more collectibles available in the future. The new Star Trek: Prodigy is unlike any previous Star Trek series, with a bold animation style and younger target audience, so fans will be eager to see if collectible models will be made of the series’ ship and crew. Fans of Star Trek: Voyager will be glad to hear that the new animated series has already been commissioned for Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, so there will plenty more of Captain Janeway to come.
