After years of boldly going where no one has gone before, the Star Trek franchise is going back to the beginning! In the highly anticipated movie set to debut in summer 2009, audiences will discover how it all began, with the most famous crew ever to command a starship bearing the name Enterprise.

Star Trek follows Captain James T. Kirk, the half-human/half-Vulcan First Officer Spock, communications officer Lieutenant Uhura, and the rest of the legendary team in their early days at Starfleet Academy and aboard the Federation's flagship. Though it features characters dating back to the 1966-1969 original series, the new movie updates the fabled franchise's look and feel to appeal to new generations and long-time fans alike!

Barbie® doll and Ken® doll first joined the world of Star Trek in 1996, together in a 30th Anniversary Star Trek Gift Set. Barbie® posed as an Engineering Officer, and Ken® posed as a Commanding Officer. This time, they're boldly going even further!

Barbie® doll poses as Lt. Uhura, with phaser in hand and a stylish update on the classic red mini-skirted women's uniform and calf-high black boots. Ken® doll does double duty, posing as both Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. Though both are armed and ready to defend their shipmates with phasers set to stun, Ken® doll as Captain Kirk also carries a communicator to stay in touch with the Enterprise while on away missions. Ken® doll as Mr. Spock carries a new-look tricorder for scientific analysis of new life and new civilizations.

It's a fresh take on a familiar franchise — just like the new movie! The excitement is building to a fever pitch, and with Star Trek conventions constantly on the horizon, too, all things Star Trek will get even hotter. Join the fun with Barbie® doll and Ken® doll, and celebrate the latest chapter in one of the greatest and longest-running stories of our time!
