Been wondering the same thing about deluxe O'Brien. i think it's a possibility. Might depend in part on the response they've gotten on switching Picard in and out of his uniform.
Then again, if collectors are getting both TNG and DS9 figures, wouldn't they want 2 O'Brien's to display with the appropriate crews? And if a collector is only getting one of the series, why would they want the uniform from the other? i, for one, am only getting TNG and i have no interest in the DS9 uniforms, which to me look boring and oftentimes ill-fitting.
Agree on the sculpt. Not sure what it is. Maybe he looks a little too fat in the neck or his eyes are too far back or too small? i'd rather have a TNG/early DS9 sculpt than a later one where he was heavier.
