SHAKA, WHEN THE WALLS FELL!

What other tracking service can be used for these? I have the same result with the tracking link from Exo: "No Information". It will probably just show up, unannounced......hopefully....

Zinda, his face black, his eyes red?

We need more pics of the Darmok version. Haven't seen many great ones yet.

I'm just using Parcel App, it's a "track any package regardless of shipping company" site and it's been consistently updating with where the package is if that helps.

Kind of glad I stopped purchasing from EXO directly. Shipping can be a pain plus I tend to get them cheaper. Only downside is waiting a bit longer.

Where do you order from?

Mine hasn't updated since the 18th in Shenzhen, so yeah I'm hoping this is one of those figures that just suddenly shows up out of the blue.

This is the first time my figures have been sent via China Post (normally it was sent via SF Express); y am using 17track.net to track the package, and it works very well. Hope it helps!

With regards to parcels not moving, it's just a busy time of year--and the Canada Post strike, while now ended, definitely contributed to a backlog across other carriers who had to deal with a sudden surge in packages. I was lucky to get my Picard very promptly.

My apologies, I wrote Darmok above because I was in a Darmok mood. What I meant to say was Standard Edition Picard (now edited).

To be clear, this figure itself is quite good. Far better than what I was fearing based on the initial in-hand photos (so often the case).

Starting straight off with the head sculpt, it’s definitely Stewart through and through. A very sharp and well executed paint application which is very detailed and looks amazing on display with Data and Geordi. The paint up is on par with EXO’s very best. SNW Pike and Spock come to mind. This is definitely the EXO A-Team at work! It also seems, for better or for worse, a pretty “high contrast/high definition” paint application if that makes any sense. It gives him a decidedly dramatic look in my opinion. And that may be at least part of the reason I thought he looked overly intense from early photos, but in hand, I do not detect much of that at all. He looks great.

Now, the only nits that come into focus come into play when comparing him to the QMX sculpt. The EXO sculpt is a tad more narrow than QMX, and while it seems to me that QMX might have the edge in accuracy in that category, the difference is only visible in a side by side comparison, and you’ll NEVER NOTICE IT on display without QMX standing next to EXO. And as I’ve said, EXO looks incredible on display, so I can’t even hold this against EXO because it’s quite minor.

The other area that comes to my eye is that the top-notch and high contrast/definition paint up of the EXO version is eye catching and looks great on the figure, however standing next to the less contrasty, slightly softer paint app of QMX, QMX seems to capture the more subtle features of Stewart and just shouts PICARD a bit louder than EXO. At least that was my thought when I had them side by side. But I’ve since put QMX Picard away and am just staring at EXO and there’s just NOTHING to even remotely complain about with that sculpt. It is AWESOME!

On to the tailoring. Generally excellent as expected. The only issue, as some have noted is that his sleeves are just a tad short and can make hiding the wrist pegs a chore in any pose that doesn’t include slight elbow bends in both arms. This is a real shame because the uniform looks great, but none of the other TNG uniformed figures EXO has shipped to date (at least the ones that I have) suffer from this unfortunate nit. But this can be defeated with purposeful posing, but that might limit some classic Picard poses you might want to do if the visibility of the wrist pegs is a dealbreaker.

Over all, this figure is VERY good! I dare say you will all be exceedingly pleased when he shows up!

NOW! The SHAKA, WHEN THE WALLS FELL!

For all the amazing quality of this figure, and all the unique and welcome accessories, there is one glaring problem that no one will be surprised to hear.

I enthusiastically purchased the Standard version of this figure, and even stated at the time that choosing the Standard option for this particular figure was the easiest choice ever. But the dilemma now is this. After watching the EXO instruction video for changing Jean-Luc’s Standard Duty uniform for the Darmok version is so onerous and wrought with danger that I seriously doubt I’ll ever do it! Combine this with the fact that given the choice between the two looks, it’s going to be Standard Duty all day, but I really wanted both looks for the collection.

BUT! Having just bought a second Saavik to avoid this same outfit choice dilemma, do I really want to invest in picking up a Darmok just to keep the Jacket and shirt that came with the Standard in the box forever? Seems like a losing scenario. WHAT TO DO!

I’m currently trying to decide whether I put the Darmok jacket on QMX or EXO to get both looks.

HELP!

 

[Mike86]

Where do you order from?

Collectorzown. I’ve gotten almost all of my Star Trek figures (plus others) from there.

This!

I’m planning to use my FC Data body, and Exo head for the Darmok outfit. Thanks for the review!
