Yeah, i really want my TNG Data & Picard.
Like it or not, Nanjin definitely released these figures in a very smart order.
My original goal back when QMX started was one detolf shelf for TNG Picard & Data.
QMx tanks, Exo-6 starts up, and FC Data & Picard come out. Obviously i bought them (and have absolutely enjoyed them in my display!). Had to support the new Trek 1/6 and hey, they're cool even though i really want TNG, and who knows if Exo-6 will succeed and make those figures?!
While i've been watching the releases, i've bought a few characters I enjoy: Sisko, Quark, Seven & the Doctor. Hell I got Janeway since i had two other Voyager figures, and I'm definitely getting Garak now that I have Quark (love DS9's use of expatriots to represent more nuanced versions of the various over-simplified species from TNG). I even bought Kruge because I might want a Worf in klingon armor, and who knows if that'll ever happen. I don't think i had even seen The Search for Spock, but I do go watch it after ordering. Gowron is way too short, and Dorn actually wore Christopher Lloyd's costume in at least one TNG episode so now i can sleep easy knowing i'll either have a cool character to display with any other non-crew aliens, or I can kit-bash a Worf in Klingon Armor.
Maybe i would have bought some or all of these if my favorite figures came out first, but probably, i'd have invested in one of the many custom projects I have on my list and stopped coming back to the Exo-6 threads on here every week.
I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that if Exo-6 released our favorites first, then it would have gone out of business shortly after, and we'd never get characters like Ro or O'brien (both i'm definitely also getting now, too)
