Kruge is probably my most anticipated at the moment too. Love that style of look for Klingons. Saavik too but mainly because she’s the first to release in the classic movie uniform.

Definitely Saavik for me, as the sculpt is fantastic and she comes with two super iconic looks.
As far as teased figures go, I think the one I'm most curious to see is T'Pol. The outfit was looking great and I'm really hoping they can nail the likeness as well.

Well here's a few shots of my Data after doing some work to him. I wasn't totally happy with the proportions so I removed the fat suit and the velcro in the fly so it wouldn't stand out so much. And also narrowed the pant legs as they seemed a little overly baggy. The shoulders still don't seem as wide as they should be, but there's not much I could do about that.

The violin is a nice addition! It's always fun to see your mods and tweaks. Well done!
Thanks. It's from an old Pop Toys Sherlock figure. Unfortunately I couldn't find the bow that came with it.

Really nice figure !
Yeah, I don't understand why sometimes they gave fat suits to characters who don't really need one.
But they keep using the same bodies, even for characters with different height, build...so I guess it's their way to make them different looking.
A bit lazy if you ask me.
With the price of these figures, I don't understand why we don't have specific bodies for each character. It can't be that expensive to make. 1/12 or 1/10 action figures that don't have clothes are all differently sculpted. And they cost way less.
Maybe they think it's useless since we can't see the bodies under the clothes. But the overall look is affected by the height, build, etc.

I they don't make a Borg Queen, I will have to use this statue from forever ago (1997 I think)
Yeah...it's not the same level of details or accuracy
But no choice I guess...
I customised just a little the eyes to make them look less...dazed. But no miracle here, she still looks too kind and nice

I think I, uh, see the problem... Pretty sure the BQ's eyes were mirror contacts (which are so uncomfortable to wear that apparently Susanna Thompson almost quit on her first day of filming on Voyager), maybe just dabbing some chrome nail polish on there would help

It's not a bad idea.
But I don't expect to do miracles.
The sculpt was pretty cool for the time, I think. But the face expression is not a really good choice. And the likeness is not really there. Still it was a cool looking "monster" Borg statue.
Someone with good painting skills can make something out of it I think. With more detailed skin textures and color shading. But I don't know how to paint. At least not something really detailed. I do more basic painting sometimes for smaller figures.

I’ve actually never seen that before, that sculpt isn’t bad at all.
I don’t have any active POs at the moment. I’m most looking forward to the rest of the TNG crew, T’Pol and movie-era TOS. I’d pick up a Green Tunic Kirk if he gets made as well.What is your most anticipated figure, if it isn't the Borg Queen ?
Among the ones they announced I mean.
I'm not really interested in the recent ones, Spock or Pike from Strange new worlds.
I’m thinking Crusher and Troi would be the greatest challenge to get right, getting the required level of detail on their hair to make it look realistic isn’t something we’ve really seen on any female character thus far.
But if they nail it…
Yeah I'm a little worried about how Troi's curly sculpted hair is going to turn out...

At least it will beat the diamond select version. Now there's some standing out.. i mean, outstanding hair! Like she's standing in a wind tunnel... Has me thinking of those old commercials... "when I bite into a York peppermint patty, I get the sensation I'm riding the luge, at 100mph, while the wind whips over my body!!!"

Are there any neck stains on the Data figure?

I like that the visor is removable but hopefully that won’t cause scratching/paint chipping.
Kind of a weak offering for the Standard Edition. Looks like it’s just the engineering kit which he should come with anyways. Hopefully that won’t be a major added cost.

Yeah I would consider an engineering kit to be a pretty "essential" accessory for any Geordi figure. But I can also see how those extra parts could add to the cost of production, so suppose I can live with it.

I dunno. To me it’s funny that the Standard Editions are for the more popular characters. Kind of feels like we’re getting milked into paying more for the popular characters and accessories that go with them.
