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

[nanjin]

We really have gotten off on a tangent. Maybe NanJin can move onto Orville, Firefly, BSG and Babylon 5 after he’s finished with Lieutenants Kyle and Leslie.

Nah, that is to kill Star Trek. Someone else can do them, I can assist in production. Legit licensed only.

 

[Mike86]

I will say even though I won’t get her the Michael Burnham figure does look good.

 

[Matner77]

Burham is looking stellar. Although I'm not a huge fan of Disco, I want to have some representation on my shelf. Burham, Georgiou & the wonderful Doug Jones as Saru are must haves

 

[Vkh]

Burnham looks fantastic and I’ll likely get her and Saru. It’s unfortunate all the uniforms change so drastically through the later seasons; I do prefer Season 4 Burnham over her earlier look.

 

[davejames]

The newer uniforms may be more traditionally Trek, but I still prefer the more unique look of the original ones, which kinda fit the more experimental nature of the ship itself.

Plus I just love dark blue. Lol

 

[mynameschris]

She does look great, after Mission Chicago I said my Discovery presence was going to be Saru but as the series lead she’s going to be first so it is tempting… if I get her I’m still going to need Saru as the gold just pops plus there’s not going to be another figure in my collection like him!

 

[nanjin]

If any of you want Burnham, then better act early. I hope Janeway situation won't repeat...

They are the 2 in the 3 of the "3+1 production" that I mentioned. Gap Fillers, smaller than normal production Quantity but a lot more extra care in Quality because they were done by spending as long as possible to Kill Time.

Gap fillers are how i grow and improve production quality.

Because each piece will be done without any pressure, and each piece will be an evaluation of the work of the technician, logic dictates the final product should be better than those done under normal circumstances and environment. One stone many many birds.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Are gap fillers the ones that are almost ready to ship?

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

OMG - it's like the ultimate "first world problem" . . .

. . . wanting to stay subscribed to the thread to keep up on news from EXO-6 . . .​

. . . yet wanting to unsubscibe from the thread so I stop being reminded about Discovery, Picard, BNW et-al ​

I need a filter that searches for key words and blocks posts on certain subjects

I wasn't happy with how Tuvok just dropped out of nowhere. This aspect of the company needs to seriously change.

Agreed. At least 24 hours notice would be good. Some of us live in parts of the world where it's 2am when they go live, and if that were to happen for the gap filler figures there's a real possibility I'd miss out. One day's notice will allow people who are asleep or at work the opportunity to order.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I'm finding out from Facebook groups and an email an hour later. I got my PO in but it wasn't a nice feeling.

Showing Chakotay exclusively here first would be nice.

That leaves 1+1, right? Do we know what the other 1+1 was supposed to be? Was it TMP Kirk + Spock? Archer + Porthos?

Yeah I think the more ideal thing would be like what most statue companies do-- drop all the preview pics one day, along with an announcement of when it actually goes up for order a day or two later. And then if possible pick a time of day that is more convenient for everyone worldwide.

 

[jlacivita]

If you ever get the time, finish it, you’ll be glad you did.

The uniforms would look STUNNING in sixth scale. After seeing what nanjin has done on TWOK, he would knock these out of the park.

Ron Moore really used what he learned about episodic vs season-driven drama, and created a really wonderful series that blended both in BSG. I highly recommend it!

What's the issue? It's been a few days since he "dropped out of nowhere" and he's still not sold out. The only valid complaint so far is how fast Janeway sold out, and Nanjin addressed that. You can still order Tuvok, why does it matter if you ordered during the first hour?

That sounds like a nice idea, but I still don't see the big deal if you're able to order what you want.

Sorry but I don't have a crystal ball. How was I meant to know he wouldn't sell out? Relax up.

That was the first time they’ve done that. Hopefully it doesn’t become a new thing. Especially for the more limited releases.

I am sandwiched between approval and production. I can only afford to sustain a maximum of 5 to 8 days of no work (shut down on the 6th day). So either I put a figure out as soon as the figure is approved or put it in Below demand so it will be a sold out everytine. Below demand is the worst situation for collectors.

No perfect world, want 1/6 Trek to continue, then we have to live with its limitation.

Gap Fillers are a must for my factory. I am irrational to pick up Trek already, expecting me to irrationally burn down my factory and lay off my employee is not possible.

Will advise those gap fillers limited production ahead of time. But I don't see a need to do this on presale that has no fixed quantities except marketing gimmick.

Please, give me some room to maneuver. How can you expect me to function like everyone else when we accomplished everything differently.

Is not logical for us to accomplished all these if we follow industry norm. Expecting us to such thing is like telling us to jump off a building. Doing industry norm is telling to leave the playing field.

1/6 trek has plenty or either or and neither nor. Star Wars can have everything. We star trek can not have everything and should be thankful to have something. Accept this.

Also, who in 1/6 business doesn't want to maximize profit with presale. I want to too, but just can't.
