Another reason why the new TUC Sulu is just not cutting it

Pretty sure everyone, not the make believe club that still doesn't existThat new Bones looks great! So this one is planned for the special 31 club, or everyone? I need that figure
Excellent and thanks for the infoPretty sure everyone, not the make believe club that still doesn't exist
No problem!Excellent and thanks for the info
TWOK Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, and Khan will be general release. He has suggested that white tunic McCoy could be S31 release.Nanjin said Bones will not be Section 31.
People asked about that specific Bones, because it was with the confusing Section 31 post, and he said that TWOK Bones will not be Section 31, and said "no poster crew in Section 31." But then he said that there will be a number of main cast/crew in alternate looks in Section 31, like Bones in white and Kirk and Spock in 20th century clothes.TWOK Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, and Khan will be general release.

Yeah, I think he decided early on that having both versions would just compete with each other for sales and that he wanted them as their final swansong versions.honestly wish we would get the full crew of TWOK instead of an even older Capt. Sulu .
The shirt collar looks a little high, but not a deal breaker.
Honestly that’s pretty annoying how many people are saying that. It more or less sounds like parts of the jacket are just going to come off. Part of me wishes I would have just bought the regular version as I’m not sure I’ll even bother using the jacket.Swopped out the Monster Maroon for the Away Jacket.
Apart from a couple silver pieces becoming detached (and having to re-glue with fabric glue) I'm very pleased with the result.

Buy the one with the Away team jacket. You will thank me after you see it!Honestly that’s pretty annoying how many people are saying that. It more or less sounds like parts of the jacket are just going to come off. Part of me wishes I would have just bought the regular version as I’m not sure I’ll even bother using the jacket.
I already have it pre-ordered and paid for. I just don’t look forward to the jacket falling apart and having to be glued together again. I most likely will leave her in the monster maroon and maybe I’ll find a way to display the jacket near by.Buy the one with the Away team jacket. You will thank me after you see it!
Yeah with NT's obsession with getting TWOK right (remaking the jacket multiple times because the color isn't quite perfect, or reworking the Saavik sculpt at the last minute), it's surprising to see something like this slip through.Yes, and that’s a real head scratcher with this line. Saavik’s collar is also way too high, and that would seem to have been a pretty easy element to get close to perfect. And it really does take the accuracy of that figure down a peg or two in my book. The other really odd thing is that this was not an issue hardly at all on the prototypes. And if the entire line suffers from this gaffe, that will truly be unfortunate.
Not sure if these shirts are practically removable, but if they are, a Third Party making custom shirts with the correct collars could be a real money maker considering how many units of these we’er going to buy!
It's no big deal really. It's not like you're gonna treat the figure like we used to treat old GI Joes back in the day, launching them across the yard and having them run through a minefield of fire crackers. And the jacket is outstanding.Honestly that’s pretty annoying how many people are saying that. It more or less sounds like parts of the jacket are just going to come off.

my worry about the shirts are if they will bleed color on the white of the coat and neck of the body .Yes, and that’s a real head scratcher with this line.

Good luck resisting the urge to put her in the jacket.I already have it pre-ordered and paid for. I just don’t look forward to the jacket falling apart and having to be glued together again. I most likely will leave her in the monster maroon and maybe I’ll find a way to display the jacket near by.
