This is easily the most interesting video (on ANY subject) I have watched in the last month (and there have been a few!) . . .
- It shows Nanjin in a different light. Instead of the person whose written word sometimes comes over as harsh, arrogant and provocative, we see someone who is incredibly passionate, organised & thorough . . . and someone who plans VERY carefully.
- Loved all the extra info about how his factory & production team is structured, how they trial things on less major characters to see what they can/cannot achieve, and the ways they are learning and adapting.
- The detail on all these recent (and upcoming) figures is phenomenal. So much quality & talent on display. NT & his entire team should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved so far, and it appears things will get even better going forward!
Honestly - SO impressive.
My thanks to @Skyroes for the post, to the SixScaleMafia team for making & uploading the video, and to Nanjin for providing so much information, in an easily understandable/digestible form.

I don’t think even his most harsh critics ever doubted his passion and caring about his team. I was good to see him animated in this light. There has never been any doubt how much Trek fans owe this man because the very existence of high end 1/6 Trek is not something people who just run numbers of would ever undertake. It took his passion for the franchise to make all this happen.
I also think his instinct to embrace his passion against all odds is at the same time amazing to see (who wouldn’t want to embody this trait in life) as it is almost certainly the key to the negative side effects we occasionally run into. Taking his work SO personally and SO passionately is what makes him respond so violently to anything he perceives as opposition to his mission even when this was not the intent of the individuals presenting the “opposition”. Most business runners see customer feedback as a valuable tool to help steer the company in the direction of success, longevity, and profit. Nanjin sees any non-positive comments on his deliverables as attacks on his children! And when you understand it in that light, it all makes sense. Not rationally, but emotionally.
That’s why I’ve given up any public commentary (with the possible exception of this forum) that could be seen in any way as negative or second guessing EXO’s products or decisions. I realized a while back that that approach only results in negativity. I will just be thankful that EXO is and continues to make Trek items I want to by. NT is a force of nature, and his initiative gets us a lot of really awesome stuff. Does us no good to argue with the weather outside, but eventually…a Summer day, a Spring morning, and a beautiful Autumn.
Beautifully put - from one of the TALENTED stars of this forum

Valid points, though I would fully expect EXO to make these refinements and others. It’s still early days on TOS. Looking forward to seeing his reveal on preorder.
