Am I the only one who feels like a Captain Janeway would be a big seller?

Kirk and Spock have who knows how many figures out there, but Voyager premiered after the peak of 90s Trek merch by Playmates, and no one has bothered with Voyager characters since.
 
I understand having favorites, but anything from Voyager would be last on my list personally. The only characters I would really want are Seven and The Doctor.
 
Exactly. I'm not a huge Trekkie, so the only ones I'd be interested in would be Kirk & Spock. Khan if we're talking villains. And since I'm a heretic, I'd buy the Kelvin versions too (plus Bones because of Urban). Maybe something from TNG too, notably Picard. Maybe Riker and Data. And Q. But that's it.

I think it's important to put specific limits to everything, otherwise you end up going overboard. With Star Wars, that I prefer to Trek character-wise, there are more characters I'd be in for, but even then I try to limit myself to specific ones, notably the Force Wielders. With Marvel/DC I stick only to my favourites, and most of them aren't MCU characters yet, so I'm still in the clear. There are few lines that'd tempt me to go all in, and thus far there's no 1/6th representation of them. If I didn't have those limits, I'd be buying a new figure every week, and that's a recipe for disaster. Exceptions exist, yes, when something comes out completely out of left-field. But you have to adhere to some rules. If you love 10 things, you have to choose a bit of everything. If you collect only Batman then sure, go ahead and buy it all. But as it stands I can't realistically buy TDK BaleBat, BBBaleBat, ArkhamBat, three Batfflecks, BatKeaton and so on. Much as I might like someone/something, I'm sticking to one figure per character, unless it's one of my Top 10 or something and a particular costume/look is close to my heart. One avenue I've closed off entirely for example are the X-Men. I may have liked one or two characters and stories back in the day, but I don't care now, and if I start with one exception I'll get hit by the completionist bug. But if the F4 are well-casted, I'd see myself wanting to get them all. Green Lantern would be both a problem and a blessing. You get my point.

So, for the time being, I can breathe with this selection and I don't mind waiting for the more high profiles characters down the line. This hobby needs patience.
No one can have or want to have everything except me and maybe Trek franchise (best eye candies for them).

Chose you collection wisely right from the start then you are fine. Just like finding a mate, stick with she or he till the end.

It is not difficult to guess what I will be releasing. Trek possibilities are so limited. I actually spilled most if not all of them all already. Timing is the only thing that will surprise everyone.

It takes at least a year to establish good timing. It is not like I pay a license than I can start pumping out figures.

My ex company trained me to restart operation and let it die every year since 2017. I had good experience in restarting an operation and avoiding killing the operation. I already cut one year time to 6 months.

I've been buying everything with a Clone Wars and Mando tag from Hot Toys. I'll gladly sell some of those, and restrict my buying if it means I can get figures from all the Trek shows.
How about this. Think of 1/6 trek like Keno in casinos.

There are 80 numbers with limited choices. Choose those numbers that you think will make you feel like a Million bucks at the end of YOUR game.

Is this simple.

Excuse me, my brain grew up in casinos. I still think like the House [emoji28]

I will NOT allow you to have regrets.

Question, if I just put a well sculpted Seven on to a generic reasonable or matching big ****s body in her cat suit, will you buy her?

Yeah the show wasn't a favorite of mine, but I know there's a ton of love out there for VOY and even people who don't usually collect 1/6 would probably still want a Janeway or Seven figure.

As long as it's a TBLeague body (like the S10D) without all the crappy joints showing through the skin-tight outfit -- absolutely!

I'd also be in for Janeway & The Doctor from Voyager -- don't really see too many other characters from that show that I'd want. Never liked DS9, so probably no one from that show, and never watched Enterprise aside from a few minutes here and there.

We’ll see. Like I say to me Voyager is the classic Star Trek show I don’t care very much about. I don’t mind Seven of Nine so maybe, but I’m not obsessed with her like a lot of fans.

Well said! You have to set limits in this hobby, otherwise you'll end up a hoarder.

Godspeed with all the figs!

You're definitely not the only one! I'm getting so frustrated with the Playmates and their limited articulation as I am used to much better from the 1/6 scale world.
And I'd need a Chakotay to go with her. Obviously.

....I actually see Seven's body shape as part of her uniform [emoji28]

Excellent. Can you please recap the ''most of them'' for the group here? Please...

:D

Lol. I am with you but I have a feeling that would take away some of Nanjin’s fun of keeping us guessing.

I guess I am satisfied with knowing I will probably see my main wants made from TOS, movies and TNG. Hopefully complete crews and some other key characters that probably gets you somewhere above 21 and below 35 (depending if there are variants or multiple movies are done). Wow typing out that number and multiplying it by around $200 and thinking of the amount of display space needed is a little overwhelming but at this point I say bring it on! But yes DS9, Voy, Ent and new Trek will end up taking a back seat otherwise I won’t be able to keep up. That being said I will probably still get one or two from DS9, maybe 7 of 9 and maybe the versions of the TNG characters that are in the new Trek.

Lol I think my main challenge is going to be to control myself to limit it to a reasonable amount of figures. Looking at the numbers above there is just no way I could get 20-30 figures and display them all let alone explain the amount I spent to my wife.

I know the posts are deep in the thread which would be difficult to find. That's why I could admit I spilled them all. I really said what I will be releasing except timing. I even said what I have in production.

I even said some of you guys would be extremely happy right after their posts.

See, EXO-6 operation is also being affected by startrek.com (EXO-6 is more like a Trek company than a 1/6 /collectibles/figures company)

We have to function within a set of parameters within Trekverse.

Every 3 weeks EXO-6 would release some exciting info or announcements.

What about TOS 55 Years anniversary figures?

Its OK, I was mostly joking, didn't expect an answer.

Some intrepid poster here is already combing through this thread for those answers. I expect someone will piece together a list within a couple weeks.
