Further down in the link it actually shows the Ken/Barbie Star Trek figures in their original packaging as well.

Not trying to jump the gun here and cry doom without seeing the movie or hearing more, but again stuff like this has me skeptical that they are down playing McCoy's significance. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy should be the Trinity of Trek. And while I definitely see the need for a female Barbie doll and Uhura has to be it, again we get no McCoy.

So in the first "split screen" image we get Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and Nero with McCoy being in the second set that came out later. In the new crew lineup poster the front three are Kirk with Spock and Uhura to his immediate sides. And in a lot of the "behind the scenes" interview pictures we see on this site we see JJ, Chris, Zach, and Zoe together with no Karl.

Again I'm not trying to call doom, blasphamy, or anything else like. I have every intent of seeing this movie as soon as it comes out and I have high hopes for it. I'm not going to be a continuity hound because Kirk shouldn't know how to drive a stick shift or the Enterprise shouldn't be built in Iowa. The explained intent of the movie though is to get back to the Trek roots and really find out what makes these characters tick and what brought them together. Seeing the above mentioned stuff makes me wonder if the importance of the McCoy character was lost somewhere, which seems to be against the core of Trek in my opinion. I'm all for bumping Uhura's relevance and really making a strong female character, I'm sure Gene would have liked that as well (Number One), but not at the expense of McCoy and the established Trek Trinity.

Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth-are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
