This second series of Playmates Star Trek: The Next Generation figures is from 1993. This collection comprised 23 figures and were distributed in various formats, with a range of different backing cards, in several countries (USA, Canada, UK and Australia). There are versions with Collector Cards or Space Caps (Pogs) and others with neither Cards nor Pogs. Five of the figures (Dr. Beverly Crusher, Klingon Warrior Worf, Mordock, K'Ehleyr, and Cadet Wesley Crusher) are hereafter referred to as the "Colourful Five". With the exception of Wesley Crusher these figures can be found with accessories in one of five distinct colors (Red, Blue, Orange, Purple or Silver) with the Wesley Crusher accessories being found in just four of those five colours, excluding Red.
Edit late July 2021: A Canadian carded Wesley Crusher with collector card has been found with Red accessories and is the only example that I am aware of.
The backer cards in this series are a mix of the original punch-outs versions and the new J-Hook versions.
In 1992, The Next Generation show was a huge success, bringing Star Trek back to audiences in a big way. The Galoob Toy Company had previously created an unsuccessful Next Generation line in 1988, and the Star Trek license was up for grabs. Enter the Playmates toy company. They began a very successful eight year run of incredibly well-done action figures and accessories in 1992. For its initial release, Playmates produced a series of ten different figures from The Next Generation, as well as roleplaying accessories and a vehicle.

This first series of Playmates Star trek action figures is, on the face of things a simple affair with ten different figures, each with their unique collection of accessories and stand. This simplicity is quickly dispelled as an illusion however, with the many variant backer cards, inserts and stickers distributed in several international markets. All of the backer cards and boxes in this first series have punch-outs for hanging the figures on the shop display pegs.
Paint variations are present on both the Gowron and Ferengi figures throughout all production runs of this assortment. The Gowron figure has a wide range of gold, green or no paint combinations on its leg stripes and belt buckle studs. The Ferengi is noted for being either with or without black colouring on its boots and possibly on its tunic too.
The backing cards measure 196 x 262 mm.
The original production run comprised just nine figures with the one missing being Deanna Troi. The cards for this first run can be identified by the white "BONUS ... Action Base" text on the front of the card to the left of the blister. There are two variations of the backs of thes
