WOW – All of us know Geordie LaForge in his Yellow uniform or within his Grey-Movie Uniform. But are you aware that he was also wearing a red uniform? At the beginning of the Show? Only the fewest remember that he was steering the ship at the beginning, simply because the later episodes are more recognizable.
Thats Similar with the first Uniform from Deanna. Deanna was wearing a something called SKANT, a uniform variant who can be worn by man or woman. Deanna wore this uniform only in a greenish color within the pilot episode and never again. Well, thats not 100% correct, she was wearing this uniform also in the 7th season final, which was playing at the time of the first episode but somehow the uniform was in a different color.
Nevertheless, after the pilot, the decision was made that Marina Sirtis has to wear a full-body Jumpsuit (is jumpsuit correct???)
Back to the Skant, Diamond select was doing it right to display Deanna Troi with it, like visible on the picture above. This Figurine is also wearing the hairband.
The Vinyl Figure is enormous 22.5cm tall but the display stand is already 1.5cm.
In total, Deanna is build-out of 5 pieces. Hair, head, body, Arms, and Display Stand. (note for myself, if I do start to build my own figurine, that’s a good info).
A Figurine made out of multiple pieces has the benefit to paint each part standalone before it gets connected together. The Split were to click the pieces together is perfectly selected.
The Head,
I personally think it is perfectly made. Deanna has a distinctive profile and even better on the left side. You can’t see it on the Pic but the Cheekbones are perfectly colored with a touch of rouge. Similar like it was in the Pilot episode.
There is one thing that is disturbing m, personally.
The Hair cut – less would be much better. Nevertheless, that’s crying of a high level. The Alice band is made perfectly and the colors from copper to silver-grey are perfectly harmonizing with small pieces of light brown.
At the end i can not complain about the head, below are some test shots made, they are presenting different hair cuts from Marina. You can see her chin lin and compare it also to the diamond select figure – again i do see it perfectly matching.
Something I am able to catch is a detail on the uniform – specificly in the height of the shoulder which is on the test shots and the final uniform visible but not on the figure.
Correct – the thin gree-blueish-line is missing, which is from my point of view ignorable.
The presentation of the three pins, 2times gold and once in black is perfectly made and is also identifiable on the figure which displays the same Lt.Com. rank like at the beginning of the show.
The Body –
Deanna, Marina, the Counselor is visually thin made and I believe already a bit thinner than the original, you may see it if you review the first pic of this post above.
The Legs
I personally feel that the knees are perfectly made. There is a kind of irregularity that is making them even better.
The Boots are not to close to the legs like it was seen within the show. Even if not really visible on Deanna, I do remember a man wearing a Skant who had similar matching boots.
The Display Stand is a typical TNG-Communicator pin and Deanna is connected to it. I personally would find it much more convenient if I could detach her for perfectly posing. Additionally, I do have to mention that the finish is on the silver area not perfectly made. I do have a kind of smear on it which should not happen.
The Packaging and how it gets delivered.
Safety first, Deanna gets delivered with a plastic inlay that is totally mantled around her. Outside is again the Sales Package who presenting her perfectly. On the Backside is a text who describes Deanna pretty well. It contains also a 50 years of Star Trek Logo.

My general conclusion, from both Diamond select Femme Fatales Figurine I have seen so far (Seven is the other), is Deanna absolutely the better one. Based on the uniform she is wearing she is absolutely perfect. For sure there are some facts who could be made better, Hair, Some uniform details. on the other hand, is it absolutely remarkable that she has no Burs who are caused by both pressing templates that may be the reason why I like her even more?!
Within Germany, the Figurine is for around 60-70euro available – but I do believe she is a good party for any collection.
