This year is the 50th anniversary of the original Star Trek series, and to celebrate you can expect all sorts of anniversary-shaped events and products — including, yes, new Star Trek Barbies. Franchise owner CBS has teamed up with toymaker Mattel to make a trio of figurines that capture the look of the show's original stars, with Kirk, Spock, and Uhura dolls decked out in classic Federation uniforms with phasers and tricorders to boot. (Close-ups of the dolls show a lovely cable-knit look for the tops, but I'm not enough of a Trekkie to tell whether this is canon couture.)

These aren't the first Star Trek barbies to hit stores (that would be the 30th anniversary giftset), but they are certainly the best-looking — especially when compared with the monstrosities based on the 2009 reboot of the franchise. Just look at this Chris Pine-shaped Captain Kirk doll below and tell me you don't want put it out of its gormless misery.
