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

[Matner77]

Once the range is completed & the licence agreement is over, it would be interesting to know the production run of each figure.

 

[Jimmy C]

Yes I know this. As I said in OP I’m aware of what Nanjin and those close to him have said about this. What their explanation is. What I have no idea is is what is a “certain amount” or “limited amount”. Is it dozens ? Scores ? Hundreds ? Thousands ? Tens of thousands ?

Its interesting to me that these explanations are plentiful , but numbers are kept so close to the vest.

Joost recently said that he wasn't allowed to give out the edition size for his new Batwing by the studio, so Nanjin may be under the same kind of restriction with Exo-6. In any case I'm not sure what we would gain by knowing how many of each figure are being produced.

I don’t know who Joost is or what “Batwing by Studio“ is .
Who is not ”allowing” that information to be shared ?
Generally, when something is announced as a “limited edition” that edition size is announced with it. Is it not ?
Those secondary market folks whom Nanjin is often referencing could conceivably feed off of the “rare” or “limited edition” label for years to come without the perspective customer ever understanding how many or how few of an item is floating around the world.
Knowledge of Edition size will help customer prepare himself for immediate sale or preorder or buying direct from EXO-6 or through one of the other e-commerce sites (e.g. Sideshow)
Such understanding would also help when fans ask for production of characters who may not be currently on the radar and the feasibility of their development and production.
In the case of TMP — they were expected to be Limited, although edition size was never announced.
In the case of Seven, she is not technically a “Limited Edition” but given reliance on an outside manufacturer and source ( which was not what EXO-6 was founded on) the necessary material and production was finite.

I don't really follow social media but I keep seeing posts in this forum where Nanjin supposedly is constantly battling a number of naysayers and negative posters regarding release schedules, delays, etc., on social media. For those of you that do follow him on Facebook and other platforms, is that really the case or is it perhaps just a small number of detractors or possibly not even the case? Just curious, as the constant gripes comes across as possibly fantastical, considering the quite amazing release time-table that we have witnessed with his figures.

From my experience he talks a big game and posts 90% nonsense and reposting Trek posts.

There are always morons ******** on any figure news. The only gripe I have is Voyager being nearly complete while TNG's crew hasn't even started, as well as being hit with multiple preorders in a short space of time.

There was a fair amount. Couple particularly nasty ones who attacked him and anyone who said they liked a fig. I never understood why he didn't block them. I stopped reading the comments on his posts so I don't know if they are still around.

I do feel like his posts have curbed back some, less leaks and teases.

Yeah I'm not really sure where that comes from. There are the occasional people asking for updates and curious about delays, but I don't get the sense there's any anger or criticism over the release schedule like he often makes it sound.

Thank you, all. I just have a hard time believing that there could be a significant amount of negativity except for a few bad apples. And by bad apples I mean just constant complainers and not those with legitimate issues being shared.

I’ve never seen Hot Toys or almost any other 1/6 figure manufacturer ever announce the actual run size of any of their figure lines. The only specific exception I can think of off the top of my head is Asmus with their LOTR line a few years back. I don’t think it’s customary at all for ac1/6 producer to release those numbers.

 

[Reflector]

Agreed. I figure he's just projecting the guilt he feels when production schedules don't live up to his boasts. Collectors for the most part are keeping perspective in comparison to other 1/6 companies.

Seven of Nine has arrived in Australia! She is now Seven of Mine.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Sigh.

I hope we can just ignore it. No need to give it power.

If you know, you know. If you don't, ignorance is bliss.

Ahhhhhhhh - Schrödinger's post?

Saw it too. Had to kind of roll my eyes. Nanjin the creator of great figures I admire. The guy who’s kinda snarky and can’t take any form of criticism.. not so much.

 

[Johnny Utah]

 

[Mike86]

He seems to like to stir up drama. I don’t even know what made him post that. Unless he was just lurking and saw comments he didn’t like.

 

[stingermck]

Playing the victim is getting old.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Also I'm called the Kool Aid guy now because I called his blind followers Kool Aid drinkers. They all lurk here too so hi guys

 

[Mike86]

Playing the victim is getting old.

Especially when he’s not. He has support and boasts about his sales. Where does he think a lot of those came from? Is he trying to turn a segment of us away because we have some critiques of his work? Like seriously he needs to chill out.

 

[Johnny Utah]

The last time I remember someone in the business getting smarmy and leaving was Big Chief Studios. Before that, Randy from NECA at the old moviemaniacs board.

None of these people could take any kind of criticism and preferred ass kissers instead. Nanjin's random post calling the board out is baffling to me. Feels kind of ****** now handing over a lot of money to him now if he's going to insult his customers.

I was kind of thinking that too. I’ll still support EXO-6 out of love for Star Trek and even though he’s the main guy it’s more than him behind it. Still though a good way to run off customers. I just don’t get what his point even was.
