EXO-6 Star Trek "The Wrath of Khan" Figures

[Mike86]

If we’re honest I think almost all EXO sculpts leave something to be desired in terms of paint. Saavik doesn’t look bad but just a bit flat. The eyes seem kind of dead as well.

Something like THIS, perhaps?

That’s the Paint Master done by Viola Wittrocka for the production piece reference. The factory team did a commendable job, but they had no chance of matching the one-of-a-kind Paint Master that likely took days to complete.

Wow, amazingly the missing eye lashes, among other things, play a large role in breaking the likeness to me. Somehow the production version sadly does NOT look like Kirstie anymore no matter how much I'd like it to. That's my story and I'm holdin' to it [shrugs].

This may be the first time that the actual preorder images look better than the final product as well.

While I was hoping for a bit more with this figure since it opens the TWOK era, and since Saavik is one of my favorite characters (no clue why ), but I think those charges are a bit harsh. As I mentioned earlier, I was crossing my fingers that her paint up would be in line with some of EXO’s stellar recent releases and it was instead a bit soft, but I see Kirstie in the sculpt for sure. Let me get her in the studio and see if I can do her justice. So far I’ve only been shooting her with my phone.

One thing I’ve noticed for sure is that she looks much better to my eye than she does in my preliminary photos. I can’t seem to get what I’m seeing to translate into photography……yet.
