I just bought my second Saavik because I know myself well enough to know that I’m NEVER going to switching that Regula One Away jacket on and off despite how MAGNIFICENT it is, and I really love both looks for Saavik. Ergo… I fear I’ll be getting two of EVERY TWOK release that features...

And WITH that, DParaga21 is hereby BANISHED!

FOUL!!! The first Commandment of engaging in this hobby is Thou shalt NEVER calculate the sum total of all you have spent on it AT ANY TIME, lest your mind and consciousness invoke the evils of LOGIC and REASON upon it and thus destroy the very joy you sought to capture in embarking on this...

Here’s hoping…

Kobayashi Maru Saavik is up for immediate purchase on the EXO site as of three minutes ago as I write this. If you want one to wear the away jacket for you and not have to switch, HURRY! I got mine!

I think I'd definitely be in for Chang, possibly Valaris, but if they make a TWOK Sulu (as they should) I think I would likely pass on Captain Sulu.

🤦‍♂️

Exactly. The most glorious irony for me is that the post I made on Social Media where I made some photoshop corrections to the Saavik prototype that I thought would make her more accurate and aesthetically pleasing caused him rail against me publicly and finally led him to block me on FB, and...

Been trying not to get back into this, but there seems to always be a new outrage to respond to. I've never seen a company owner that makes products for public consumption be so antagonistic toward customers. I won't get back into the history or the details here, but the bottom line is that...

I noticed that too. Would probably have to be a whole new shirt for some customizer to design.

Agreed. But of all the difficult parts of the TWOK outfit they absolutely NAILED, this one seems like a no-brainer to get right. I just don't get it. may not be a deal-breaker in this particular figure, but I keep thinking about how it would have been taken to yet another level had they just...

I was just trying to protect my reputation as a serious collector and non-pervert is all (how am I doing?). The truth is I believe I preordered her within four seconds of her appearance on the EXO site when I went up, I MEAN, when SHE went up! 😬

The turtle neck is about 40% too high I think. But other than that, that uniform is everything we were hoping for for TWOK!

Possibly. I can’t remember….

No, that’s fair. It’s definitely a valiant effort, and the total package is for sure one of EXO’s best because that Monster Maroon is tailored perfection, and the away jacket is an absolute STUNNER! But just going by the head sculpt alone, I’d give it a solid B+. Kirstie is definitely in there...

Yeah, that was achieved by having her look slightly downward and putting her eyes in partial shade, so they don't appear quite as wide. Another example of how she looks that way just looking at her on my table, but not in pretty much ALL my photos until I stumbled on the one above.

FINALLY! I finally was able to get a photo that looks like the figure I see in hand! This figure is an enigma. I have taken dozens of photos of her and every time her features looked flat or off, and the paint looks so soft. But to my eye she looked great! But after adjusting the lighting...

I’m confused. NT and the EXO site said that Saavik would be available for immediate purchase starting 12/4 but the Regular One edition is listed as in stock now, but no Kobiashi Maru. I was thinking of possibly getting another to display in her bridge jacket, but not really keen on spending...

Uhhhhhh…..I’m sure I don’t understand what’s being gently insinuated here. I’m not going to have to FIGHT anyone, am I..?

Well, maybe a bit of over compensation because just about every photo I’ve seen of her looks washed out. So I went with very subdued lighting and a contrast filter to try to bring out some skin texture.
