I’m thinking Picard Worf too. I’m not unhappy about it, he looks pretty great from the photos seen so far.
As much as I loved the season, the Picard figures are the ones I'm probably least excited about for some reason. Perhaps because I just prefer my Trek figures in proper Starfleet uniforms.
With Saavik coming up soon, I think a new Wrath of Khan figure would be the best choice. Seems like Spock would be the logical choice.
My money would be on Chang.
My money would also be on Chang. I couldn’t hit the pre order button fast enough. Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!

Whenever we're left to speculate we're compelled to imagine our most desired figure, which is almost never what EXO-6 decides for us.
I don't know, I'm thinking it might be that spacesuit Worf. A figure I don't want or need at all, despite being quite nifty, but it does have the best looking Worf sculpt they've previewed so far.
EXO-6's last email mentioned a bunch of figures that will be billed very shortly for the third quarter of 2024. I don't know if they meant that's in the next two weeks, or just invoicing within two weeks of whatever shipping date of Q3 they're available in (their communications, marketing, and press releases have never been very clear). I have three in that list, Picard, Saavic and Kruge, which is plenty to pay for now with little room to jump into more preorders. In fact, I tend to forget how many EXO-6 preorders I've committed to and get worried when I look at my order history and consider how many more might be on the way. Sorry Beverley Crusher, but you'll have to go because we haven't even scratched the surface of TOS, TWOK and TNG yet, and I have priorities.

I kind of feel like since there were two figures that appeal to a wider base (TMP McCoy and TNG Crusher) maybe we’ll get a break with something that doesn’t appeal to everyone. PIC Worf or something from SNW would be a good choice.

I dunno. There are so many variables that probably go into the decision, it's useless to try to devine it, IMO. We've gotten from zero to the halfway mark on the TNG poster crew, counting PO's and in-hamd, so fast, I think we may have "gone to plaid"

With the eyes looking up like that the head needs to be tilted down a bit.

The recent pace on TNG has been great but not sure if it’s going to ride the wave as VOY did. It felt like there was a time when VOY was releasing back to back. TNG might be more staggered on the remaining half, unless they’re keeping their cards close to their chest, Riker, Worf, Troi could still be under development since we haven’t seen anything.

TNG Worf may be a while from the sounds of things. Nanjin made a comment a few months ago or so that his Baldric is a problem to replicate in sixth scale and he was unsure of how they’re going to make it without high costs.
Maybe they can ask Playmates how the did theirs?

That's basically a plastic ring. Nanjin is looking to have a 1/6 version of the actual prop. Something that can move with the figure.
If Nanjin just did a plastic ring as you suggest, many of would complain, and the rest would be disappointed.

Understood.
I was just throwing it out there.
I would have been fine paying more for a TNG Worf with a metal baldric, after seeing how nice it looked. But sounds like it also would have just been too time-consuming a process for mass production.
