So when you got a worse head with your figure, your lived experience told you that it was refined and upgraded? Lol sounds about right for this crowd

The ship sailed long ago on Archer @FlanginHam, if the actor preferred the different option then it is what it is.
You did openly state recently that Dr. Crusher looks “surprisingly great” and I agree wholeheartedly. This company is no where near where they were with Voyager - they have without a doubt gotten better and refined their technical ability. Look forward not backward.
Paint apps make all the difference - look at the TNG Picard PO pictures vs. Viola Wittrocka’s reference. If you don’t see the improvement in SNW Spock then I don’t know what to tell you, to each their own. Would you have preferred how he looked in the PO pictures?
You have to give credit where it is due.

Hoshi is up for order

Darn, was hoping they'd take more time to improve the sculpt, because I'm really not feeling it at all. And this will have to be a pass, as much as I like the character.

I agree, the sculpt is the same one from Las Vegas. Unfortunately, it's just not Hoshi. To me the eyes are not large enough and it's throwing it way off.

Yep - this one is a miss (no pun intended).
I get NT likes to get the costuming right given his family involvement in the garment business, but seriously - without a decent head sculpt - why bother?
The portrait is THE single most important thing for me. Maybe others won't mind?

Because people will tell themselves and all of us that it either looks good when it doesn't or when it's too far gone like this, they'll act surprised that it wasn't "fixed" because exo-6 is so known for resculpting heads when they're badYep - this one is a miss (no pun intended).

Hope it improves because this is right back to Voyager level as it is. I wanted SNW level!

I feel like ENT might be the next to go to the b team because it’s not a series Nanjin loves.
I think this is the major weakness to Nanjin's strategy if doing the photography before the figure is ready.
If this is how it'll look, it's another Tom Paris of just being someone else.
If it is improved like some figures have been, that's great and all, but that's taking it on a LOT of faith when you get photos like this.
It just looks like some other woman. He might make the final version look amazing, and I hope he does.

Yes, I thinks she’s on par with Janeway, EMH, etc as far as likeness goes yet an improvement over Tom Paris.
I’m pretty sure he (NT) said in the interview that SixScaleMafia did in STLV that he was happy with Hoshi.
Here's hoping.

I feel like for some characters he deems them as “good enough” and moves on.
They don’t have time to improve drastically for a character like Hoshi, and you have the fans who will be accepting because “it’s the only time x character will be made”. This has been evidenced before and in my opinion is a bit of a copout answer but to me at least it rings true.
I don’t like to be negative but certain things I’ve kind of picked up on between following Nanjin and reading comments from certain people here and in the Facebook group.

Got mine. I went with the deluxe with alternate head sculpt (only available to top tier customers, if you didn’t see the option, then you ain’t qualify). Much better in person!
Now if you'll excuse me, I feel kinda funny....

As much as I wanted Enterprise and TNG glad I'm just sticking with the original series .
There's some conflicting words.
At one point on Facebook he said the Sculpt was good, but there was room for improvement on the painting (suggesting he's going to make them do better on the paint). But in his latest post he said the sculpter was doing refinements already.
So it seems maaaybe both the sculpt and the paint are going through a revamp.

Actually surprised the "Enterprise" line is continuing.
Archer & T'Pol are sufficient representation for me

You've already been proven wrong over this, a couple times now. Yet here you are pushing that same BS line that Exo-6 doesn't improve their head sculpts from proto to release.
