Get two PicardsThose stands are going to make for a nice display. The question is though do I use the one for Picard or do I get his chair and put him in that?
True. I probably will eventually because I’ll pick up the TNG version and also will have the First Contact one.Get two Picards
True. Maybe there could be a second battle damaged edition released.Those are actually pretty good options to have had but the price of the figure would have turned off a number of collectors.
Perhaps that version, with the robotic face and fleshy arm with sleeve rolled up, could be another figure in and of itself.
Pick up a TNG Data when he is available. You will be glad.If there weren't so many other Trek figures coming I probably would pick up two-- one to sit in the chair in his full uniform and the other to pose in the vest with the phaser rifle.
Data doesn't look as cool when he is alone. Add a vest Picard then you have First Contact.Got my Data today and have to say it's a very nice figure. The sculpt is much better than it appears in pictures. They really captured Brent Spiner's performance in this one. The paint is also much more subtle than it appears in publicity shots, and not overly gold as you might think. The alternate sculpt looks just as good, but I'll likely never use that one. I prefer Data in his "standard" look.
Once you pull the collar up a little bit, the whole thing looks spot on. Be careful to pull it from the areas without the pips. I didn't make that mistake, but want to make sure we are all mindful of that, so there aren't any mishaps.
The accessories are impressive, and I can't decide what to pose him with (hence no pictures). The phaser rifle is a little too obvious a choice, but that may be what he ends up holding. I'll post pictures once I've made up my Mind.
I only have one issue with mine, the ankles are a little loose. Not as bad as Doctor Who figures I've gotten from Big Chief, especially the early ones, but it's enough that I will keep him on the stand.
Overall, I give Data a 4.75/5.00. If it weren't for the loose ankles, he'd get a full 5.00.
Don't.Get two Picards
That's the original plan. Is an old sculpt, fiber optics lighting system borrowed from the Trek Ship modelers.I know a third sculpt would have been asking a lot, but part of me wishes with Data we would have gotten the sculpt where the “flesh” has melted off and we see the robotic skeleton of his face.
Also would have been a nice touch to have gotten the arm with human flesh and possibly a swap out one where it also is melted off and has the exposed robotic forearm. Nitpicking though.
Makes sense. Just is a cool look, but I get not wanting to charge a high price right out of the gate before earning consumer trust.That's the original plan. Is an old sculpt, fiber optics lighting system borrowed from the Trek Ship modelers.
Not feasible because we are a new company.... a higher MSRP isn't good at this time. I have to have people's confidence before doing anything expensive, and Scotty and Sulu from another universe left a lot **** for me to clean up.

People had imprints for 2 years that 1/6 Trek preorder WILL NOT show up....Makes sense. Just is a cool look, but I get not wanting to charge a high price right out of the gate before earning consumer trust.
