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

[mynameschris]

If we do get any Picard season 3 figs, I'm hoping for a Captain Shaw....

Shaw would be great, if even just to be able to add the uniform to the Captains collection!

Hoping he’s not out of commission for too long even if we have Riker/Picard in the Titans chair for the most part.

There’s actually a few figures from this season already I’d have on my wish list.

I have a missed opportunity / wish from the latest episode…

Spoiler

I wish rather than introducing yet another post Nemesis uniform that they had put Riker in the season 1 flashback uniform… would have loved Nanjin to make him as I’d have put him in the Enterprise E Captains Chair and thought of it as being from his Titan

 

[Johnny Utah]

My main wants so far are Riker and Worf. Worf especially will be very impressive in sixth scale.

 

[Time_killer]

I would like to see some classic female and alien love. Uhura, Rand, Nurse Chapel, Gotta have a Gorn, Mugatu, Ruk the android, Andorian, klingons, Orion slave girl "Yvonne Craig as Marta is my preference"
Classic Trek is my jam

I received an email that my 7 of 9 has shipped! Woo whoo

Thanks for the link. I can now see what they were trying for (there's a linked photo in the article) and they DID capture that quite well.

It's not the "7 of 9" look I remember (so I didn't get this), but I at least now understand (still think they should have gone with another "look" though).

Definitely need a S3 Riker, but I'm not really loving this first uniform he's been wearing. And I'm not sure yet about the full leather uniforms they all switch to later either. Would have much rather they stick with the S2 uniforms we saw him in at the end of that season, but ah well.

 

[KXG]

As much as I’m looking forward to receiving 7, I have a feeling that I’ll be displaying her quite static, which would render the extra accessories useless anyway. Maybe I’m worrying too much but would the silicon body and possible restrictions on posing wear this kind of build down over time? How do Hot Toys hold out by comparison over the years?

Unofficial updates:

1) Porthos is ready to ship around the 24th.

2) Ent E sofa will be ready anytime before end of the month.

3) Locutus will be April

4) Shran and Quark both in May

Arent you happy to bitch at us for being late? Plenty of reasons to call us the worst company in the universe for being late with LONG production windows, and never could keep our timing promises

I love to be late for a better future. Eat your heart out, complainers

OH yeah I really want more figures from TOS, Rand is top of my list along with Scotty.

 

[afaninfull]

Thank you for posting the unofficial update.
I am not on Facebook so I don’t know what kind or what quantity of negative feedback is being posted.
For what it’s worth, Exo-6 got my vote for company of the year on Michael Crawford’s Poppies Awards as did Sulu for Best 1/6 male.
I am excited to add Seven, Shran, Locutus, the “sofa” and Quark to my shelf over the next few months. Should be exciting to see the new preorders, too.

Apologies if this question may sound offensive. It’s really not intended to be. It’s curiosity.
Nanjin and those close to him have spoken a great deal on who and what is planned for the remainder of this “Five (5) Year Mission” and the ups and downs of the financial and manufacturing challenges And management of factory and staff.
Has there ever been a disclosure of how many of each figure (“Limited Edition” or otherwise) have been produced ? Is there any “bare minimum“ of how many of a character could be made ? There seemed to be an absolute, and perhaps underestimated maximum on the Seven figure — what was that ?
In the absence of a quantified and qualified answer, can anyone make an EDUCATED guess ?

 

[Kebron]

The TMP figures have had the lowest production to date, I don't know the specific number.

I know the Discovery figures had a pretty low number. The rest is anyone's guess. He's never revealed exact numbers.

My guess, it might be a little higher then some third party figure runs, but way less then Hot Toys and some of the other bigger 1/6 companies.

 

[Skyroes]

Thanks for sharing this @stingermck. It’s unfortunate that there hasn’t been any new announcements beyond the existing pre-orders.

Seven of Nine required unique, outsourced parts. Nanjin could only get a certain amount of those parts, which put a cap on the number of her that could be made. She’s the only figure like that by EXO thus far.

 

[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.

 

[Stryker2011]

Not even the mighty Hot Toys makes figures in the ”tens of thousands” anymore, which is why most stock eventually runs out in fairly short order. I would bet the numbers for Seven are in the low-to-mid hundreds (a thousand would be pushing it).

I would also expect its production to be way less than Hot Toys. EXO-6 have are a much smaller start-up company. Hot Toys gets pulled into the conversation much too much. There really is little to no comparison. But while on the topic , does anyone know what their production numbers are ?

Did 7 of 9 ( who had a preorder) have a higher production than TMP ?
As Michael Crawford points out in his review, Seven was one of the signature teases when the company started up. Yet apparently EXO-6 has not been able to meet and manufacture the desired number ( whatever that might be).

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.
