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

[afrog]

Yes, those are my exact words. This figure is indeed laughable as Wesley Crusher. No need to clutch one’s own pearls about it. But do so if you must. Proceed to PO it and sing its merits. Enjoy.

I don't really have a problem with the Wesley sculpt. I don't know if I really love the smirk, but it does fit his character - it seemed his dominant expressions on the show were either the smirk, or the "uh oh, oh <bleep>, I'm in trouble" face. Essential Picards at least came with a couple of hands, tricorder, and phaser. Near as I can tell this one's more expensive and has nothing but a tricorder judging by the promo pics. A phaser wouldn't really fit him, but I wish it had a PADD or something else. Oh well. I'm not terribly unhappy about it. Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but if I don't PO it, that won't be why.

In the end, I'm just not sure I want him quite enough. There's still time though...

So, I was hoping my new Moducases would be here by Christmas, but the shipping update now says they are anticipated to arrive at the port in CA by the second week of January.
Which is unfortunate, because I'm doing my best but it's getting crowded in my display case.

Get a bigger case.

Very well done! Where’s my TOS Kirk?

I think you're gonna need a bigger case...

Great collection! But, yes, there is something very unattractive about an over-crowed display case. Hope your comes in soon!

Yeah, it's driving my wife nuts especially. But soon. Hopefully soon at least. At this point I'm anticipating it by the end of January.

Have you seen "Justin's Collection" new tour video? Grotesque!

Janeway was 190, Sisko was 180 or 215, Paris and Kim are both 170. All aside from the Sisko that came with all the extras are within or close to you 150 to 175 mark.

If Nanjin could produce these at the level of Hot Toys the price point would be lower. Factories offer discounts on bigger productions. Hot Toys produce things in the several thousands or higher, Exo 6 figures don't. That why you see Exo 6 figures sell out relatively quickly.

Well, that is still in line with my position. I gave him a pass on those due to the less expensive cost. Wesley is a higher price point but the sculpt, imo, is commensurate with the lower cost figures I mentioned.

I still would have preferred those have better sculpts and/or paints. They didn't but the juice was worth the squeeze. I can't say the same for Wesley. So I will save some cash on this one.

I'm glad some of you guys think the $220 is worth it. I'll take the risk of missing him. Hopefully we get an Ensign Crusher later down the line.

 

[thedarkknight]

They'd have to pay me to take Wesley, even if it was perfect.

 

[davejames]

The total is really more like $240, and yeah I'm not sure even the highest quality Wesley figure is worth paying that much for.

Although I'd be a lot more inclined is he had a more neutral expression. The smile seems like it would be really irritating to look at after awhile.

Oh wow, completely forgot about La Sirena, was it even in S3, they really didn't do right by Captain Rios. He was one of the few "new" characters I enjoyed abt the Picard series.
Would still love to see a figure of him. And his Captains Chair with some way to have floating holo-controls and readouts? Maybe some light-up translucent pieces?

 

[Lee in MI]

Hot Toys has bulk. Probably over 20x the sales easy. The bulk let's them put more money into quality.
You'll never see them quite match Hot Toys quality and/or extras. That said Hot Toys has some potatoes too that really miss the mark.

Kinda a straw man argument. I didn't state they should match HTs quality. I said they are approaching HTs pricing so I expect better quality. That's not the same argument.

La Sirena was in season 3, it was the ship Raffi was on with Worf. But it was barely relevant.
It's not my favorite ship by a long shot, but I try to collect all the "hero" ships.
