Looking forward to seeing M'Benga from them. After Pike and Spock, he's my favourite character.

Tough call - I like all the SNW characters, and as they are getting fleshed-out, I don't think I have a favourite (besides Pike). Just hope we get them all!

I love M'Benga as a character, but his medical uniform with the giant black collar still looks really odd to me.

Yeah, me too. I wonder why they went with that? Maybe the normal uniform, they felt, didn't look as good on him.
Kind of like how they decided to make Data's uniform gold instead of blue.
Well I can see it's an obvious callback to the medical tunic McCoy wore, but it still looks really out of place among the other uniforms on that show.

M’Benga is the most realistic interpretation of a Starfleet Officer that I think we’ve seen in the newer shows. I’ve only watched S1 and S2 during their original air dates but from what I remember he was the most grounded, levelheaded and best written with a good backstory.
Some of the other characters aren’t as believable at times but Pike is up there most of the time.

I just can’t say enough about this Pike figure from EXO!
I’ve got him posed up on my desk right now with the likes of Hot Toys Days of Future Past 1973 Wolverine, QMX Picard, Hot Toys Mando Luke with ROTJ hairpiece, and (for God’s sake) InArt Gandalf the Grey, and HE HOLDS HIS OWN! Just a phenomenal piece!
When you get Pike, pose him next to EXO Tom Paris, and see how far we’ve come!
I believe I’m MOST encouraged by the fact that this is not some alien with blue skin for whom human facial recognition is off the table. This is just a human man with an actor’s handsome features, and they have NAILED IT! My dearest hope is that this bodes very well for our most treasured characters coming down the line!

Poor tom Paris. The biggest problem is the hair. If only they'd poofed it up a bit more, like here:
The hair was just too flat. Which, I get it, it looked a bit more like that sometimes, but this added a bit of personality to what was, honestly, a fairly generic face to begin with.

They have the same smirk.
Yeah, that Pike sculpt is just on a whole other level from the Paris one.
I think the Tom Paris one is the worst one by far. It looks like some off-brand guy named "Torm Pernis" and he got stung by a bee
.I'm glad I got into EXO when I did. I'm glad VOY was the testing bed and came first lol. And people think Kira was off... Oh God look at Torm....

That angle does NOT do that hair any favours
Note to self - do not display figure above shoulder height.
Thanks for sharing though

I can’t deal with the Johnny Bravo hair — it’s too much.

It's the neck length for me. The sculpt I think it great but he seems to have a serious case of giraffe neck.
I feel like the head was sculpted for a much bigger and broader upper body.
It's possible.
Nanjin has mentioned having to use bodies that weren't ideal. Like the comments about Jadzia being a bit too short, but having to use the available body due to cost.
