One disappointing thing with Data is it seems the staining on the neck is still an issue with the TNG uniform. Not as bad as the QMX Picard but still some paint transfer. Only good thing is it’s on the neck which is covered.

This may seem pretty obscure, but hear me out. I think I’d TOTALLY be down on, I mean down for, a Captain Rachel Garrett figure from EXO. After all, what more heroic Starfleet Captain is there?

Oh yeah, Garrett would be an automatic purchase for me. And I'd take her over a lot of other supporting characters we're getting.

Garrett was a great character, but man I HATED that in order to have the uniform be from a Starfleet half a century in the future they... *checks notes*... made them not wear the white undershirt.

Agree 100%- The Monster Maroons without the collar is a lazy revision & not a good look! A
cooler progression would've been to bring back the Gold/Red/Blue department colors to those same movie uniforms.
I thought it was odd at the time, but the collar-less look has actually grown on me quite a bit since then. Makes the uniform seem a bit sleeker and less 1980s.

Capt Garret would be an automatic pre order for me too! Her character was developed by the wonderful actress, Tricia O’Neil, who also portrayed a Klingon and Cardassian!
In Yesterday’s Enterprise she is presented as a pivotal person and deserves to be included in EXO -6’s “Captain’s Series”.

I remember asking NT on FB about Harriman and it sounded like a high possibility. It seems like we'll definitely get some goods from Generations.
I think so far besides TMP and TWOK we'll be getting:
The Search For Spock - Kruge
The Voyage Home - I remember seeing something about that brown outfit that Sulu wears but not sure of any other figures.
The Final Frontier - Sybok
The Undiscovered Country - The full crew and Krang
Generations - Possibly Kirk and Picard during their horseback riding scene. If they're doing Harriman I'm sure we'll get more high profile characters like Soran and maybe the Klingon sisters.
Honestly I'd rather have a Demora Sulu over Harriman. But will probably pass on anything from Generations as I'm just... not a fan.

Duras Sisters are on my list if EXO-6 can do them justice.

I can see that, the double whammy of Kirk dying and the loss of the Enterprise was a lot in a single movie.
I do like how they kept the look and feel of the series though and the new bridge was amazing. The movie had a strong open with the Enterprise B sequence too. To me, it felt like an extended TNG episode.

I think Generations was approached in a flawd way. It was a checklist. We need a handful movie, check. We need Kirk to die, check. We need to dispose of the D so we can have a movie ship, check...
I can see what they were trying to do with Kirk and it was somewhat the right idea - he spends a long period of his life irrelevant and wistful of the past, and when he's about to die is given the chance to die younger, and forfeit decades of his life - in exchange for "mattering" one more time.
I think it just wasn't the right way to portay old Kirk. Ever since TWOK, he was afraid of aging, irrelivance, and death. In the opening he looks like a man terribly dissatisfied with life at this stage and essentially chooses to go out, or at least risking his life to go out - the hero one more time.
He should have been in a much happier place - learning in his retirement that he didn't need to be the hero to be fulfilled - only at the end choosing to give all that happiness up in certain death because it was more important to accomplish the mission.
They tried with the nexus, but the knowledge that it's all fake destroys any drama of giving it all up. Giving up fake happiness just doesn't have the teeth. And the mission - who he's saving - has no emotional weight.
It's better if he died saving the Enterprise B somehow at the end of the movie - an E-b that had aboard the families and children of his long time shipmates (they were on a ceremonial trip after all, so it's not stretching things too much most of yhem could be there.)
Kirk gives up his life for those he's always held dearest. His crew.
Of course that requires reconstructing the movie into something much different.

I know Generations tends to be a bit divisive but I always loved the story, the idea of the Nexus and I felt like everyone was on their game. The TNG crew seemed to flawlessly step into the movie world. There was a sense of confidence throughout the movie. I guess I'm kind of in the minority but I love Generations.
I liked it that first time in the theater, but now so much of it makes me cringe, from the cheesy humor to a blubbering Picard to the sappy Christmas scene. And Soran and the Duras sisters make for some incredibly lame villains that barely would have been worth an episode of the TV series. Then you have Data either whimpering in a corner or cracking bad jokes through the whole thing. And the magnificent Enterprise-D being destroyed by the Klingons because they were able to (ugh) spy on Geordi through his visor....
The whole thing just feels incredibly dumbed down from the TV series, and almost makes me embarrassed to be a TNG fan.

Generations decided Picard's cute nephew deserved to burn to death!! it was such a wild choice by the screenwriters but honestly pretty metal
