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

[Johnny Utah]

Don’t you know how to use the board’s search function?

This thread has come back around to be a discussion of influences on Trek and other related subjects.

Zorro is just a reworking of the legend of Robin Hood. The Lone Ranger is another.

A solid argument for the basis of _both_ the characters Kirk and Picard would be that they are similar characters as well. Defend the weak, stand up to autocratic rulers.

Just purchased my first few EXO-6 figures. Could someone please tell me after EXO-6 gets a pre-order in and ships it to customers, how long does it take for companies like BBTS, Entertainment Earth, Sideshow and any others to ship a pre-order to customers? And are any of them faster than others? i have ordered from both BBTS and EE before, and it always seems like BBTS gets products in a month or two quicker than EE. Not sure why that is. Thanks for any info.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I can only speak to BBTS, in my experience when I was ordering from there I would typically receive the shipment approximately three months after those who ordered directly from EXO-6.

I’ve since switched to ordering direct as I haven’t had to pay any customs duties.

Oh ok, for a sec she looked brunette? So that is Picard S3 Seven?

I'm still irked Picard S1-S2 was so poorly recieved (although deservedly so), and is being completely ignored by ExO
I really needed a whole Sirena bridge crew of just Emergency Hologram Rios'

As far as I remember:
EMH Medical - Emil
ENH Navigation - Enoch
ETH Tactical - Emmet
EEH Engineer - Ian
And EHH Hospitality aka Mr. Hospitality.
They should have added one more Emergancy Hologram:
Armed-Security -Aramis

Very glad they're going sculpted with the hair, even if their sculpted hair is often not the greatest.

Thanks for the info - that was so helpful! i pre-ordered a few figures from BBTS and now i know how long they will take. i don't want to pay EXO's crazy $25 shipping fee for each figure. i suppose if i wasn't in the US, it might be closer to what companies like BBTS would charge, but since i can get $4 shipping from BBTS for a whole pile of loot (and they're much quicker than EE) they are who i will continue to order from. However, i do wish i had pre-ordered my favorite character from EXO-6 while i had the chance instead of going with BBTS. Who wants to wait for their favorite? Oh well.

I know it’s supposed to be really good and all but after those first two seasons I’ve never been able to bring myself to watch season three of Picard. One day I will but the first two seasons were so mind numbingly awful.

I doubt I’ll get Captain Seven either way. Just not a character I really care that much about. Wouldn’t mind if she’s the next pre-order so I won’t be tempted to order.

I have to be honest, I hardly remember many of the plot details from P1 & P2, but I found P1 quite interesting and worthwhile, and P2 was watchable but maybe a notch or so below P1, but P3 was pure fan service awesomehood from first episode to last! I think the success or failure of the entire Picard run depends mostly on how much these characters mean to you and how big (or how small) the place in your heart is for TNG and the TNG family.

But from my personal perspective, I sure am glad they made it happen!

Picard season 3 is incredible. I cried at the end of episode 9. Don't want to spoil it.

 

[Mooch]

I'd rather she was a commander since that's what she was for most of season 3. Maybe one of the pips is removable

 

[afrog]

Is there a Zorro section this can be moved to by a mod?

Ex-Zzzzzzzzz-actly!

I liked season 3 a lot but the use of the expedited Starfleet Academy courses was ridiculous...
Seven was good but COMMANDER straight out of ONE YEAR or less at the academy? No way. Same with the second character who completed the training in a year... What? It was done just to show unnecessary character progressions and unrealistic to the universe speeds and was stupid as heck.

Even the best Captains stayed in lower ranks for a long time. Years. And after years of schooling... (Ignoring the first time they did this with Kelvin universe Kirk which was also stupid).

This is an irritating trope that seems to have grown to appease the instant gratification generation. Still Seven had served on a vessel for several years so would only need officer training. Not as silly as NuKirk being put in charge of a heavy cruiser instead of just receiving a commendation or 6 months qualified Ensign Chekov being put in charge of engineering after shadowing the engineering team for a few weeks. The writers seem oblivious to the reality of the chain of command extending outside your ship. Story convenience overtaking common sense.
