EXO-6 Star Trek "The Next Generation" Figures

Fantastic likeness. Although not sure we really need 3 different sculpts for this, as I can't see myself wanting to display him with a big goofy smile or anything like that.

What??? No goofy looking Antman for you???

Maybe they are heads with open hatches or something like that.

 

[Brunt FCA]

Hopefully one is a Lore head. He did dress in Data's season four uniform at the end of Brothers.

 

[FlyAndFight]

One of the other two head sculpts proves that Nanjin has a sense of humor...

 

[jlacivita]

I'd want a normal expression, a quizical expression, and I suspect there will be a head with the back hatch open for Geordi to work on.

Ahh so excited about the TNG tease. I guess the good thing about these coming a little bit later is that it gives the EXO-6 team a good chance to improve upon their sculpting / paint skills!

 

[davejames]

Exactly. If they need extra time to hone their skills further, I'd rather it be on Voyager and Enterprise.

That is a fair point.

 

[Skyroes]

That rendering of Data is pretty much perfect.

Agreed, though Enterprise is already off to a great start so far on their first two releases. Woo hoo!

 

[BurningRage]

Locutus is on wait list at Sideshow.

 

[Skyroes]

PO still available through BBTS if you’re looking for him.

 

[scubasteve_85]

Good lord. I need. Another TNG Data tease

 

[Skyroes]

Really looking forward to this one, the likeness is incredible. The texturing on the face maybe could be toned down a bit.

 

[Mike86]

My guess is Data is going to be a ways off yet. We’re already well into November and still no sign of either TMP figure.

 

[The Green Goblin]

There needs to be more detail in the hair this time. The first one had very little detail, and was the biggest weakness of the figure.

It's always a bit offputting when seeing these strongly textured Zbrush screenshots, but it's worth considering that around 20% (give or take) of the skin texture will be lost by the time it gets to a tooled PVC production head. That means the digital model needs to have more texture to compensate. It's a tricky balance to get right sometimes!

I think this Data looks like he's coming along fantastically so far, and I love that he's very clearly a younger TNG version versus the FC one we already have.

Informative post, appreciate the process explanation!

 

[Prime Clone]

If only they'd had EXO-6 quality back in the day!

Thank you for sharing that info- I had no idea. I also thought the texture looked a little high- although the likeness is really amazing.
