EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

[nanjin]

Those don't like TMP Kirk and said he's off or no good, please stand firm on your opinion and skip TMP release. So those who like TMP can collect this release.

In my opinion, the best Kirk in existence before we show the other versions.

Again, rough and terribme paintup as usual. (Anyone noticed I have been making sure protos are less attractive comparing to production?)

 

[Tetryon25]

I handicapped Sports for 20 years.

I understand everything else you said but this. You handicapped sport?

Cutting to the chase: Are we getting any militaristic aliens at some point (Andorians, Hirogen, Jem Hadar, Gorn, Breen, Species 8472) or is it just a human fest and some named characters?

No pressure, I just want to know if watching this space is going to be worth my while as an alien collector.

It looks great, but I'll wait on the Wrath of Khan version.

Hopefully, everyone who wants this one (at least on the boards) gets one.

 

[nanjin]

Are the filler characters going to be primarily uniform variants of main characters or secondary/alien/guest characters or a mixture of the two?. Is it just the captain actors that have likeness approval and everyone else is approved only by CBS/Paramount?

Can be anything. As oppose to everyone else, I allow the Production to chose whom to make during production. They can pick any character in that list without my involvement except quantities (this is working capital dependent). Captains from TV series wouldnt be in this list. Their objective is not to waste production time. This is the foundamental ingredient of fast delivery. Is an either or and can't have both operation.

This approach will add X amount of uncertainty into the mix and make it so much more enjoyable. So if they picked a high demand figure out of the list, then you guys are in trouble. This will keep me and customers on our toes and not avoid confront zone addiction.

When a pond has clear water, it will not have fishes.

Uncertainty is the fun of expectation. That hate and love feeling is a torture, and humans love it.

 

[nanjin]

Hardly the worst film in the franchise.
It may be the most cerebral film,
the most Gene Roddenberry-esque,
the most not in a frantic rush,
the most polished,
the most expensive for its time,
the most over-criticized,
but it's hardly the worst film.
Star Trek V gets that honor.
-- Just another opinion

For better or worse, that's what happened to the 3 friends, each went on to their own way and meet again on Lady Enterprise. All four.(incl ent) did something different after the 5 years mission. A significant event in the story of TOS.

Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Enterprise crossed path again to save humanity.

Needs to document this in our 1/6 Trek Museum.

Star Trek 5 had that incredible scene where Sybok shows Spock and McCoy their pain, and Kirk refuses because he wants and needs his pain! The poor quality of TMP has been discussed for 43 years and will continue to be discussed.

Nanjin - I hate your decision to make him first and not TOS or TWOK versions.

 

[Mike86]

We didn't put out a schedule. We are in the black hole stage waiting for a OK to put them up, which means Zero idea but for sure it will happen in 2022 (I assume)

Ah I see. I’m going to be watching my email and social media like a hawk this next week.

I don’t mean it as an insult and I definitely will buy it. Like I’ve said I’m a big fan of TMP and think it’s underrated. Just seeing the sculpt I feel it’s ever so slightly off. Not a lot mind you, just something about it. I’m confident it’ll be a good release though.

 

[superdoug]

Nanjin, will you give us a heads up on here before Kirk goes up? Really, really don’t want to miss out. I actually really like the expression you chose for him too.

Now I off to check out this EXO FB group and I abhor going to FB. Only reason I have it because Nanjin. I think the only reason I have gone on it in the past 5 years is to see what he is up to.

 

[superdoug]

Alright probably a stupid question but how does one find the EXO FB group with the video?

I will tell my production team that you hate them. I am just the middle man.

FYI, TOS is still struggling tremendously after we included Screen color into the mix. It has delayed our TOS release for 14 months alread. As of now, we are assuming getting Screen color done will delay another 8 to 12 months of development time. Getting Screen color right is as difficult as I expected. This is why I avoid Screen color all these years.

See what customers preference will do to production if I consider them?

Good luck TOS fans, these are your requests, so delay is NOT my intention but the consequences of your preference.

No way to back off now. TOS already have their plan settled. Without the Screen color correctly done, I won't move forward with TOS.

TNG is a lot easier. I have 34 colors to choose from for TOS, and have 7 colors to.choose for TNG.

That's part of what makes collecting so fun. The desire to aquire something.
I plan to get as many as possible, but the reality is I may miss a few due to being at work when preorders are dropped. However tracking them down, getting them at a good price or having to save to get on the secondary market is also part of the joy & frustration of collecting

 

[nanjin]

The video belongs to Test. Weren't you the one who.introduced me to Adam Savage?

If you were the one whom I visited in NY a few years ago, I owe you something.

Most non strategic information are released here on the forum first.

Will advise before we put them up.

Go ahead. I never said I hated them. You did this before, jumping the gun thinking one thing was said when it wasn't.

We're waiting to literally pay you for TNG figures. Make it a bit easier please.

 

[nanjin]

No pressure, I just want to know if watching this space is going to be worth my while as an alien collector.

We call ourselves “1/6 scale Star Trek Museum.”

You mind will give you a rational answer basing on the above mission statement.

 

[Vonhahn]

The first Kirk from Exo 6 is from the worst film in the franchise.

Odd decision, especially with this year being Wrath of Khan's anniversary.

Ohhhh, I have to disagree....ST V was WAY worse. TMP gets a bad rap. It came out when everyone wanted more Star Wars, and it was too cerebral. It was very solidly in the vein of classic Trek. Could have had about 45 mins. of scenery edited out....bit Dat score man....

We can make it easier if EXO-6 follow QMx approach. We all know what happened.

 

[nanjin]

Nanjin - I hate your decision to make him first and not TOS or TWOK versions.

...the Screen color part wasn't direct to you but those who want Screen colors.

 

[Johnny Utah]

See you can't keep taking shots at QmX.

They fumbled the license, but you have it now. It's time to move on and pave new ground. Q is great though I haven't preordered him since I prefer a captain's uniform version. But is it too much to ask for a booth where even half the bridge crew are on display?

Because QmX were able to do that once, even though they weren't released it was amazing to see Riker, Geordi, Worf, Data and Picard in a row.

I might be the person you are thinking or I might not be. We were going to try to meet up when you were in NY but I was in FL at the time so it didn’t work out. If you are talking about the “something” that I think you are talking about it’s okay I didn’t want to bug you because you have had your hands full and the last thing I wanted to do was bug you.

I actually like them both, but TMP is better than TFF. I like some aspects of The Final Frontier though. There are some fun character moments with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy (the opening sequence obviously).
