You worked your magic on that pic, didn't you, QGF?

Anything’s possible….

One can dream, but that picture is perfection!!!

Anybody have any knowledge of the updated arrival of Saavik?

 

[Jgg1701]

Running a little late aren't they?
Have you tried emailing Exo-6?

Earlier today NT mentioned that Ensign Ro is the next to be invoiced (possibly by end of this week), to be followed shortly by either Saavik, Kruge or Shaw.

Why do that? That's why they say "Estimated". It gets here when it gets here.

 

[Evil_Deadite]

Are they waiting until 2285 before they release Kirk & Spock?

Well, because their estimated estimate of "2nd qtr 2024" has come and gone and I was estimating—or at least hoping against all hope—that they might have had a new and improved estimated estimate.

She’s coming soon, the schedule was updated last week (August 27th), she should be shipping out this quarter.

In Vegas, and recently on FB he said TOS will be going up for preorder in 2025.

He's also alluded to TWOK Spock being up for preorder before the end of this year.

Assuming you are talking about TOS and TWOK Kirk and Spock.

There have been 2 Spocks, and 1 Kirk already released.

Yeah I was referring to TWOK. Really looking forward to those!

Kind of wondering if TWOK Spock is this week’s pre-order. Nanjin made reference to us soon being able to display Saavik and Spock together.

From your lips to Nanjin’s ear!

I think he's afraid of half his audience leaving after they acquire the TWOK figures. Hence, keep em on the hook just a wee bit longer.

 

[afrog]

Bummer, it's Beverly. And she doesn't look like Beverly, so I don't feel bad at all for not PO-ing.

My greatest concern is TOS Kirk head size and the new figures being neckless.

The other concern is I don’t think he has or willing to take any feedback on them and going with what he thinks look best.

Hope Kirk s head is not too small and the body neck joint matches the head.

Less afraid and more charting a new course in how to release the figures. Nanjin has spoken at length about the history of Trek collectibles. Almost all of them start with the big names Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Picard, Data. Then once those are out sales drop drastically, and the line is canceled.

The way Nanjin has been releasing figures is keeping Exo6 going and giving fans figures that we never thought we'd see.

I agree the want for the big names is big, I want them now, but I'm also willing to wait if that means I can get a full line of figs from the other shows, aliens like the Gorn and Talosians, and niche characters like Romulan Kirk.

The only problem is these TWOK figures have already been shown teased about 2.6 years ago. I get he is worried no one will buy anything else if the big 3 comes( IE Kirk and Bones) out but if his plan is 5 years before they are released, I’m afraid the Interest will eventually die off. In retrospect, maybe it was a mistake to string the hardcore fans along when they were shown 2.6 years ago. He might as well show them within a year of actual release

Even Hot Toys don’t take 4-5 years to release a figure or their best sellers. I think the idea it is the fitting, the heads are beginning to be a silly excuse. No prototype should take 4-5 years to release

Interest won't die off. Word of Exo 6 has already gotten out. They are on people's radar. People who are Trek fans and didn't know about 1/6 are learning about them. Fans want these figures. Where else will they get them?

As for Hot Toys taking a long time to make figures....Bespin Han, Power loader Ripley are two that come to mind that were teased and still have yet to be released.
