EXO-6 Star Trek "TOS" Figures (The Original Series)

[Mike86]

Yeah, the sculpts do look off. I think they looked different at the Chicago showing last year.

Also curious they show two versions- is the version with the jacket being sold separately? I wouldn’t think so but maybe?

 

[davejames]

I think the likeness is stronger than before, but it's still a very simplistic and cartoonish sculpt.

I wish I knew what was going with EXO-6, because for me they started off pretty strong but with each subsequent figure they’ve been getting progressively worse. This looks nothing like Pike. And even if the sculpt was off it would be ok, if the paint work looked half way decent. But this looks like playmates level

That sculpt reminds me a lot more of the stylized Gangsters Kingdom stuff than the actor.

 

[Paul Arnette]

Oh, man, you guys are killing my TOS vibe. But you ain't lying.

I miss when he used to give the date something was going up for pre-order on the email.

I miss when I used to receive those emails...

The head sculpt does look like the paint apps are hurting it. I have to keep telling myself these are "museum quality" figures...

Well the sculpt looks like Kirk from SNW more than Pike I'm sorry to say.

I think the sculpt is too stern looking. He almost looks kind of mad.

 

[davejames]

This is definitely a figure I'll be getting more for the outfit than anything else.

 

[Warthog81]

Maybe I need two, one to display with jacket and one without.

Star Ace went the same. Hoping EXO-6 can recover. I'm sure TWOK Kirk, Spock, and McCoy will be amazing, but then they've been worked on for years.

 

[histrionics]

I always wanted a Randy Travis figure and now I can have one dressed as Captain Pike.

 

[stingermck]

On Nanjins page everyone is gushing over Pike, but on the Exo page everyone is saying the likeness is terrible. It's a tale of 2 groups for sure.

Seems like a roll of the dice. They have some really talented people who have put forward great sculpts and then there’s the other side of the spectrum (lesser skilled?) For a figure that’s been presumably in development for a while this showing fails to achieve that “wow” factor. I know I keep saying this, but look at the Vadic sculpt and compare it to this version of Pike.

Why the drastic difference in sculpt accuracy?

 

[davejames]

To be fair this is another actor with generically handsome features that would probably be challenging for any CG artist to nail down.

Not saying they should have settled for this, but I'm also not really surprised that they weren't able to get there.

Can we say that about Shatner as well though? Qmx pulled it off quite well IMO.

I dunno. Some of the figures feel like they’re relegated to a B squad of artists. Jeffrey Hunter maybe didn’t have a lot of defining characteristics to his face but still I feel like the likeness could be better.

I'm getting more of a Ray Liotta vibe...
