Fashion Doll Friday: Mattel Star Trek Captain Kirk 2008


Today’s Friday Guy is Star Trek’s Captain Kirk as played by Christopher Pine. He is one of Naomi’s restyled dolls and is now known as Corbin.

I must say that Mattel could practically use Christopher Pine as the model for playline Ken as the Steve Trevor character from Wonder Woman is also played by him.

Mattel also released a 50th Anniversary Captain Kirk doll made in the likeness of William Shatner but this one is a bit more customisable if that is a word.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  2. He’s a cutie, not particularly like Chris Pine but as Steve Trevor a little bit , very handsome (both). Kirk/Corbin has a blonde twin or should I say identical cousin like they did for Patty Duke show. Blonde, Beach Glam Ken circa 2006 has the same face but w/ basic straight arms. Hair is softer look w/ longish in eyes fringe..I had my Tim Mc Graw (country singer) dressed as Kirk till I identified him.Spock of the Trek series is still on my wish-list. I love the dark tones on Corbin.Kind of a James Dean Steve Macqueen (sp) vibe. Hollywood hunk/Heartbreaker. Seriously cool.

    • I had sometimes thought of getting Spock being a Trekkie from way back but if I restyled him he’d have to wear a hat. That “mechanical rice picker” story didn’t fly in “City on the edge of forever” and wouldn’t now either.

  3. I have an older version of Spock the one that talks to younger Spock, Yes there would be a much easier narrative for where I live say he’s an actor or going to Comic Con convention.I loved Joan Collins in that Episode. I cried when they killed her off. Have always been looking for a good likeness of her in a doll.
