I figured it was time to create a new thread for the "Discovery" series line of figures.
EXO-6 Star Trek "Discovery" figures

They look pretty damn good to me. I'm crossing my fingers for a Lorca and Tilly as well, but I'm guessing Nanjin won't be diving too deep into this line. Unless they happen to sell in the same surprising numbers that Janeway did.

Michael's got a bobble head vibe going on in that shot, very Robot Chicken.
Saru looks great though.
Unfortunately for me though, I can't get one without the other. I will have to really think about these.

Look pretty good to me but I still have never seen Discovery so I am not the best judge.

I'm definitely in for Saru. Not sure about any others.
Aw, who am I kidding? I'll probably get most/all of them.
I tell you what though; Tilly's hair might be a bear to sculpt! That'll be one bit hunk o'plastic.

The season premiere was fantastic and has me quickly warming up to the new uniforms, but I'm still glad Exo is going with the original looks as they just seem a lot more unique.

These three are my core representation for Discovery. Anyone after is a bonus

Definitely need to see more of Michael and Saru soon.
As much as I love the main uniform, part of me would almost prefer Burnham in that cool away team outfit she was always wearing.

Nice try...reading comprehension is strong...just not with you...Down for these? Are you putting down Nanjins work? How dare you!!!

I do appreciate how Nanjin is spreading it all around. While the selfish part of me would like him to focus on my main wants it’s nice seeing all corners of Trek getting some attention. It would have been easy to just do the preconceived heavy hitters from TOS, TNG and the movies. I like that he is taking the road less traveled even if it means I must resist some of these releases and wait longer for TWOK.

This is a complete waste of time and will sell terribly. Don't waste the resources nanji, I promise it won't be a good outcome

Not for fans of the show. I for one will be buying some Discovery characters, as I'm sure others will.
Beyond the TOS & TNG crews, all other Trek series are an unknown quantity in the 1/6th arena. DS9 may fail as a line. Is that a waste of resources? On the other hand Janeway figure proved to be incredibly popular, despite Voyager not initially having the popularity of TOS & TNG.
It's a bit unfair to say a line will fail before even the first figure has been released.
Yup. Like it or not, the show is in its 4th season right now, so it clearly has some fans and it would be bizarre not to see any figures made from it.
I also think there is a requirement for figures from modern Trek as part of the licensing agreement. I could be wrong but I believe that was hinted at.
It sounds like he’s contractually locked into it, from what I understand, based on previous posts. I don’t wish to speak for Nanjin as I don’t know anything behind the scenes but let’s just assume that A) He’s doing this for the love of the franchise and wants to give to all fans or B) CBS/Viacom/Paramount - whomever signs off on these - mandate he releases a Discovery line. If it’s the latter, then it’s like filmmakers who will make a film for a studio if it means that they can work on a dream project next time.
I think people easily forget or don’t realise that there are a lot of behind-the-scenes politics with licensing. I’m personally not a fan of Discovery either, so I won’t get these, but I also see it as an opportunity to take a spending break after putting the best part of $800 down on 4 figures. If Discovery does sell well, then Nanjin CAN give fans of classic trek what they want later if the next 4-5 years go smoothly.
I really doubt this is just a "contractual" thing. Anyone who follows Nanjin on FB can see that he actually is (like many of us out there) a fan of the show. And that he's been putting together his own DSC figures right from the start of the series, and probably long before Exo-6 was even a thing.
