Yeah I would have gladly taken an Ilia over Disco McCoy.
I really wanted Ilia from this movie, would have looked amazing in figure form.
Yeah she was a smokeshowOr ANY form if we’re being honest!
Wonderful and very impressive. I so wish Exo-6 has given us something like this. I would have been up for the whole TMP main crew.View attachment 747707
I thought I would spend some time posing these TMP characters together.
Decker is still in an old Mego uniform. Hopefully he will get a better one along with Spock within the next few months. Ilia looks less like an Imperial officer with shorter boots. I might give Sulu a black undershirt to pad out his uniform a bit but Ilia is on a silicon body and I don't think I will get a black bodysuit on under the uniform.
The rank insignia are too thick compared to Kirk, and the wrong ranks, which is annoying but I think I will wait until all the uniforms are in to fix them and department colours.
McCoy and Chapel might be a problem but Nanjin teased he might do McCoy's white medical uniform (TWOK version, I expect).
Overall, I think they will look good posed on a 3d bridge like the promo pics.
I always knew getting TMP characters would be very unlikely and so was disappointed that the TMP figures we did get were not in uniform. If we get Ilia Probe, McCoy, and Chapel, I will be happy but I would prefer to finish these this year so if no joy, it's a custom Chapel sculpt and TWOK McCoy in custom (probably grey) uniforms.Wonderful and very impressive. I so wish Exo-6 has given us something like this. I would have been up for the whole TMP main crew.
Disco McCoy is such a unique release that probably shouldn't exist. Can't wait to place him with Admiral Kirk!Nanjin posted this on FB:

This is my first time seeing TMP McCoy. I didn't see him since Aug 2024.
Outfit: extremely difficult. We spent more time to develop this outfit than TWok Away Jacket. Difficult to believe isn't it? when McCoy outfit looked so simple.
McCoy outfit closes up at the back, NOT in the front. Making the front opening realistically will make him look toyish because of the thick fabric and seam.
So we made a fake front and close up the outfit from the back.
Why McCoy would cost more than Kirk and Spock? Because he needs a lot of non reusable molds. I won't make a McCoy without his rings. His ring hands need new molds and molds are SUPER EXPENSIVE!
Dr McCoy stubbornness of refusing to take off his "mother" ring earned my highest respect as a son.
The head sculpt. We had 2 artists worked on him. I see more McCoy after this refinement.
Body.... as usual a bankrupting part for any figures. Our profit was taken away because of McCoy's chest.
Understand this:
All things would cost us 2 times the money to achieve 1/2 the results achieved by the big boys because we have low volume. Out of all our figures, only TNG Picard has the normal quantities in 1/6 production.
We are a small producer. Everything are more expensive for us. EXO-6 only paid me twice in 4 years.
Looks can be deceiving. I think it had to do with the opening in the front, that doesn’t open up all the way down the middle (no seam) and the original material they used was very easily smudged and became dirty looking.It’s weird to me that the outfit for McCoy was that hard to produce. Seems relatively simple.
