I got mine a couple of days ago, so I'm sure yours will get there shortly

I'm just north of you in Ocala and still waiting. Though tracking says it hit Ocala so today or Monday I would guess.....

I normally wouldn’t comment on the shipper box but this one in particular is quite nice I have to agree.
The overall art box is a lot nicer than a typical EXO-6 figure too. Feels like a special release. I suppose that was done due to the limited nature and maybe also because it’s bare bones but it’s appreciated.

Funny you say that, I feel the same way. I love the box and how its designed. Weird to say over commenting on how good the figure is...which it is....but that was my first impression too.
I line in SW Ocala… technically in Dunnellon but right off SR200. Small world!
That said, I was out in the front yard yesterday afternoon trimming tree branches and USPS delivered the Admiral! Planning to open him up this afternoon. Hopefully, you have also received your figure yesterday.

This is tricky because the fabric is so thin, but you could try water treament. Are you sure it's a crease and not the folded fabric underneath showing through? I've noticed from all the pictures and in-hand that's the case with all of them. However, if it's a crease, I wouldn't use steam or anything. I'd try cold/luke warm water, not hot. Let it hang naturally. Don't stretch it. Depending on how bad it is, the crease may drop out over time anyway.

I think mine has what’s being referred to as well. Almost looks like the insignia is weighing down that part of the uniform. It doesn’t bother me much.
Moved my quick review to the TMP thread.

Curious. I saw the “instruction video” on the EXO-6 website. It was said that these uniforms are not removable. Is that the case?
Being a 1/6 collector these many years I’ve become accustomed to the need or desire to do so.
e.g. there are times when joints loosen or break and the limb or whole bodies may need to be replaced or the uniform might require a washing, laundering or treatment. Sometimes it’s years later. But hey … We ARE collectors. We value these things.
What would we expect to do in the case of figures with non-removable costumes ?

I guess there is a seam somewhere at the back which is sewed closed and which you could open if you need and then have to re-sew. I mean, somehow they must get the clothes on in the first place right?
But these are not meant to be undressed and redressed like Barbies.
Which did not stop me from putting Janeway's head onto a different body... there's always a way
There's a seam in the back but it doesn't look to me like the figure was sewn inside, as it's not that kind of stitch. I'm sure the tunic was simply pulled down like any other shirt, but that's probably not something you'd want to do very often as it could stretch out the tunic and ruin the sharp lines.
Received Admiral Kirk today from my neighbor who took in the mail.My first EXO-6 figure.
My thoughts: Yes the box and presentation is impressive considering that it’s lite on accessories. I like the little insert of the shuttle entry bay door or whatever it is. I like the metal badge. I have not found any snags or stitching problems or faults in the uniform. It’s a good looking head sculpt. Does it beat QMX Kirk ? — I dunno. What I do find a bit distressing. He sure seems tall and thin for a 1/6 rendition the 5’ 10” Shatner. Will Spock be taller ? Am I glad I was able to get one ? Answer : Yes

Having rewatched The Motion Picture recently, Shatner was at his trimmest, so that lines up with this release quite well. I'm curious about the Spock order window.
