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

[dijinn]

Everyone on Facebook is saying how spot on shaw is, while they say every sculpt is spot on, and I'm staring at what looks to me like a cone head lmao

The head sculpts for the most part have been spot-on. It’s the production paint application that is falling short. I’ve had several Exo-6 head sculpts repainted and they are dead accurate to the character/actor now. Have also corrected the “lazy eye issues” with the Vulcans released so far, that bothered the hell out of me everytime I looked at my Star Trek shelf. Will continue to have headsculpts repainted since I only purchase the characters I really want in my collection; or until Exo-6’s production paint apps reach an acceptable level. Although with each release, it feels like they are stepping backwards instead of progressing forward.

I would love to see your repainted head sculpts.

Bones has been found

We found McCoy. He was not in our office. No wonder we couldn't find him. Now we can work on improvement. His chest hair is like Wolverine now need to lighten up a bit then he's ready for preorder. He is not an Immediate Puchase figure.

Is the TWOK phaser supposed to be that blue? I always thought it was a bit more silvery.

Looks like they are correcting to color of the TWOK phaser II according to Nanjin’s latest update, so there another win for the line. Can’t wait to have Saavik in hand……..

He also said that Saavik's headsculpt has been updated.

 

[Skyroes]

Has TNG Data been mentioned at all? It was said around the time he went up for PO that they were targeting to deliver him in two months.

 

[Mike86]

Interesting that TMP McCoy will be a pre-order instead of an immediate purchase. Also a good thing though as previously he was talking about doing some kind of a lottery system to get him. Maybe a pre-order for a week or two to make as many as are in demand and then cap it?

Yeah Nanjin mentioned last week that he’s on schedule for a release before the end of the month…

Hmm, kinda nervous now. I know the head was maybe a smidge too wide, but I was still really happy with it and I worry it might get tweaked too much...

Especially since I just freakin ordered a second one. Lol

 

[Reflector]

Well I caved on Saavik at the last minute. She wasn't on my list originally, but that work on the uniform and jacket was too irresistible. Especially the latter when I'm holding off on TOS until the Undiscovered Country line for everyone except Spock.

Oh well, what's one more lovely Vulcan lass on the shelf?

 

[Mike86]

So now Nanjin is toying with the idea of making season one Kirk a Section 31 exclusive and having the season three version the main version.

Section 31 is his friends only thing that he’s discussed previously. No idea how that would work. Kinda bs in my opinion.

 

[davejames]

So how does the green wraparound fit into that I wonder? I was never expecting another Kirk in the gold tunic anyway so it's not too much of a loss.

Pretty hilarious to see all the people on FB groveling to get into his Section 31 club though.

I'm kinda confused.. Did Kirk even where the green wrap in s3? When we are talking 2 versions of Kirk, maybe the S31 version is the season 1 wrap with the rank braiding on the shoulders and the standard is the season 2 wrap with the black collar?

I dunno, I'm just guessing. I've never seen his FB posts. I pretty much haven't been on FB in years.

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

As long as the face sculpt is accurate he can be wearing grey & black for all I care (that's the way I saw it as a kid anyways )

Heads up from Nanjin

We are ending B'Elanna pre-order early, most likely this Wednesday.

Comment and response:

If the figure wasn’t marked as limited or similar, it seems bad PR to simply close the PO early. It’s still up on the site as ending on the 15th.

Yes. It is. Just don't want to process extra step since B'Elanna is shipping.

 

[stingermck]

If Season 1 kirk is exclusive, then I may quit the entire line. So dumb. So is this comment from Nanjin:

dude.... there are so many QMx Kirk and Spock out there already.... the market can't absorb too many Star Trek figures.

Yeah on eBay ranging from $300-$700. Your market is driving up that price! He acts like there are only 12 trek fans in the world.

He hasn’t even explained how the whole Section 31 thing would even work. He’s talked about it a few times but to my knowledge he hasn’t actually done anything with it yet.

I’m glad I have my QMX Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, but for those that missed those I guess it’s just tough luck or try eBay?

 

[FlyAndFight]

The Green wrap uniform better not be just for that Section 31 group. That would really be a huge disappointment for me.

Yeah I don't get it. With an improved and more detailed sculpt I'm sure he would have no trouble selling any TOS Kirk he decided to make.

Play nice, Freaks.
