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

[davejames]

You're the winner

Hey it had to happen at least once.

 

[Reflector]

I didn't make a guess but I am definitely a winner this morning

 

[stingermck]

I cant believe this is a real marketing shot. Just getting to the point eh?

 

[BurningRage]

Great tit work I mean stitch work

 

[Johnny Utah]

Thank God. I needed a break after Picard, Bashir and Ro.

I was thinking the same thing. Such an odd choice for a product shot. Part of me would like to get T’Pol but I may end up passing on her.

Those sure are some really stiff poses they put her in.

They put every figure in the exact same poses. Arms at their sides, hands clasped behind their back, holding a tricorder/communicator. Holding a phaser, but not aiming the phaser.

A lot of it, I suspect, is because they don't give their figures adequate ankle articulation.

I hear ya, I got those 3 lined up too, plus Saavik. But I am now free to no longer really care who goes up for PO next while I sit back and cherry-pick

I suppose, but even with limited ankle articulation you can still get some interesting or more natural poses by turning the torso, angling the hips, etc.

I try my best.

I remember a long time ago seeing a Captain Lorca head sculpt from Discovery, is this no longer in the plans?

I really hope it is.
If I could only get him, Saru, Burnham and Georgiou I'd be happy. Tilly, Stamets and Culber would be icing on the cake.

I think the idea was floated around a few times, but I don't think Lorca was ever seriously considered.

I do wonder whatever happened with Emperor Georgiou though. Seemed like she was really close to release before, but then everything went quiet. Unless he's just waiting for the new Section 31 movie to drop.

Not that T’Pol was ever on my shopping list, and I know the final product is often better than the proto … but seriously? You guys think that sculpt and paint look good ?

I hadn't planned on getting T'Pol, either, and that hasn't changed, but I do think that's probably their second or third best female headsculpt. I don't think it's anything exceptional, but it looks much better than Janeway and B'Elanna and Seven of Nine and Kira. I think it's a decent paint paint job, but that the skintone on the face and the skintone on the neck are glaringly different is...well, a glaring issue that I hope is resolved for Enterprise collectors. I hope T'Pol being an improvement over most of the other female figures in the line is an indication of progress and that Uhura, Tasha, Jadzia, and Ezri (if EXO-6 even makes Ezri) will be even better.

I’m going to need a bigger house soon with the rate this collection is growing…

I’m having serious trouble with T’Pol as well. I have every exo-6 figure so far, but I don’t know if I can do it anymore. The “no other company will ever make this figure” excuse is wearing very thin at this point. I feel like we’re in Star Ace territory on this one.

 

[Mike86]

I’m glad I cut myself off from trying to get them all. I did for quite a while but had to quit. Too many characters and some I don’t care as much about. T’Pol is one I’d like but the figure just looks okay to me.

Guys,

Only buy what you love and don’t buy every figure coming out under the sun.

Having been a collector for over 2 decades, I see this phenomenon all the time. The newer collector will first buy every character coming out and eventually get burned out or has no room to display and eventually sell ( at a loss many times ) and then quit all together. The “ it is selling out, once in a lifetime chance is typical BS “
