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

[spindrift]

Come on TMP Kirk and Spock!!!!!

 

[Monkey-bite84]

Has been a bit quiet of late, fair enough - I’d imagine Nanjin is up to his eyes balls in work.

Any other hints out there of what’s to come and to potentially pre-order?

Curious…

 

[thecapn]

My gut tells me it will be Saru, and that it'll be a fast shipper like Burnham, already in production.

On FB he mentioned something about TMP Kirk being ready to go, but waiting on Shatner's approval for likeness. I assume that he wants to release TMP Spock at the same time so that's holding up that one as well.

He also said something about Sisko arriving by the end of August "with a friend," so someone will be coming with him (I feel like we just talked about that in one of these threads recently).

So...that's a few that are just around the corner, and I'm sure there will be some surprises too. He's obviously working on the alcove again as well.

I imagine you ask Nanjin directly. He's mentioned before that when you buy from a retailer, that's who you contact, but if you buy from them you go directly to them.

There were also some posts, in answer to mine, earlier in the thread that talked about where you could get them as well.

Also also, if you come up empty-handed completely, I might still have one extra that Sideshow sent me.

Thank you very much for the kind offer!
I can happily report that as of today the replacement pegs have reached my friend, so it won't be necessary to take you up on it. Just wanted to let you know!

Nanjin posted this on Facebook. Looks to be a tentative release schedule. So looks like Tuvok and Saru are arriving next.

Good communication on exo-6’s part.

I wonder if TNG Locutus will be a surprise release this year given the “coming soon” on Sideshow’s site or if it will be 2023.

Yeah, the text is kinda blurry when I posted it here for some reason. The actual Facebook post you can see it better.

I'm sure we're still going to see a ton of releases this year and Locutus will probably be one of them.

The “Coming Soon” is meaningless since Sideshow posts that for every item they display at their con booths, but I have zero doubt we’ll see a Locutus PO long before 2023.

SNW and LD are close to 70 years apart, really wonder how they will pull this off. Don't tell me they will copy Dr Strange Multiverse.

@nanjin - I was thinking about this the other day. If I’m not mistaken, I think you mentioned you didn’t feel the animated Lower Decks uniforms would translate well to fabric.

We’ve see two of the main characters - Beckett and Boimler - appear in First Contact uniforms. The voice actors appearing in SNW as their characters confirms their live action appearance.

You’ve got a ton of figures to do already but would a Tawny Newsome Beckett and Jack Quaid Boimler in First Contact uniforms as perhaps some kind of exclusive be a feasible alternative for fans of the show?

It may also be good for collectors of that era who could use the figures to fill out bridge scenes or other dioramas.

I will agree that they don't translate well if you imitate them perfectly - BUT take a look at those FC uniforms - they're missing a LOT of the texture of their live action counterparts. The quilted shoulders, the zipper on the turtleneck, even the combadge is simplified. I'd imagine when they show up in SNW they'll have a much more textured look than the animated version. No way those SNW costume designers would pass up a chance at a redesign (The DSC Enterprise uniforms, the green wraparound, the monster maroon...they love to change things).

It’ll be interesting to see if they’ll make physical Lower Decks uniforms for the crossover, but I have a feeling the live action sequences might just have time traveling Newsome and Quaid in Strange New Worlds uniforms for budgetary reasons.

That would be another alternative I had considered; to have the two of them in SNW uniforms if they appear that way in the crossover. But I think I’d prefer figures of them in FC uniforms if LD uniforms are off the table.

Oh they'll do it. 100% sure. They redesigned the green wraparound for ONE episode. They redesigned the Monster Maroon for a couple of scenes and they didn't have to. They'll definitely do it. Plus you know this crossover is Kurtzman's baby and will have a lot of eyes on it. They'll want to do it up right and probably have extra $ thrown at it.

They do also understandably trim the budget when they can more often than not, but I appreciate your optimism. We’ll have to see how it happens.

And this crossover is a brilliant idea so I don’t think Kurtzman had anything to do with it creatively though I’m sure he’ll take credit for it if it goes well.

 

[nanjin]

I thought it will be the SNW who enters the animation world.

We will see. Working on Trek figures isn't the same when there aren't any nuTrek on screen.

We have all series except Prodigy.

 

[davejames]

In the big SDCC Trek panel Newsome and Quaid both suggested they would appear in live action, and Anson said he would appear in animated form at some point. So there's clearly going to be animation in this thing, it's just not clear yet how that happens.

I think they stated it more explicitly than you seem to be letting on.

 

[wax murderer]

And so it has come to pass, that Mirror Spock is on his way. I am now at the alledged mercy of UPS(Gahd help me)...

Looks like another week has come and gone with nothing new up for preorder or immediate release
