I removed the digital blur from NT’s Jadzia sample sculpt and this is what I got:

Apparently the headsculpt has been revised twice since then, so even if this is accurate, it's not anymore.

She was due for PO but got bumped back apparently, I wonder what the issue was when they're all about post-PO refinements anyway.

Yeah I'd say that sculpt was definitely in need of revising.

Well, sounds like it, but what we're seeing is an AI "guess" at what it looked like, right?

Has anyone tried dying Kira's uniform yet?
I want a brave soul to give it a try, do well, then provide instructions.

No, I used The Force. Here’s where we started:

Good looking female sculpt, the eyes look lifelike and the hair detail is the best we’ve seen. The only problem is it doesn’t look like Terry Farrell to me.

I'm not sure how dying would really help. You'd almost need to bleach some color out instead somehow.

Problem for me is, even if you fix the uniform color there's still the sculpt to deal with...

Its interesting the decisions the force makes though. Apparently it causes a great disturbance if there aren't at least a few stray hairs on the bottom of the hair sculpt

Unfinished Bashirs. His face almost looks too neutral but it looks good.
If I could get anything extra out of EXO I'd get additional expressions.

Agreed. Looks good, but given the choice, I wouldn't want to display "Annoyed Julien" in the collection 100% of the time.

Figure producers always face this timeless issue, however. Too "Deer in the Headlights" neutral, and collectors complain. Too "scene specific emotive expressions", and collectors complain. The answer is clearly to give us multiple scultps (or face plates where possible), but no one really wants an additional 20% or so increase in the already rocket worthy price increases we see in our favorite collectibles over the past several cycles.

So the REAL answer is perfectly clear. As members of this forum, we are unquestionably the ultimate EXPERTS in all things figure related! EVERY company needs to poll this group to measure our preferences and requirements not only regarding expressions, but wardrobe choices and color, accessories included, and price before ANY company is even ALLOWED to begin production at all. This needs to be written into the License Agreement and acknowledged by the company Founder/CFO personally before such licenses are awarded!

SO SAY WE ALL!

All i can say is...

The smug expression does look a little odd, but it fits the character so I'm fine with it.

Dunno why but my reaction to the expression is that it reminds me of the Bashir EMH.

I noticed that too, for a second it looked like rooted hair.

I think that the reason EXO-6 has delayed Dax is because if they release her, then Qui-Gon Fishing would have a figure of both Jadzia and himself and the photos that would hit Social Media would be too ghastly to permit.

MEESA CONCERNED!

To me, he's got the perfect season 6 "I'm genetically engineered and not bothering to hide it" look. I like it.
