EXO-6 Star Trek "Voyager" Figures

[Astra]

Kathryn and Chakotay did some sightseeing.

Ok so we have all seen Nanjin do this too and I’m curious - when your out and about taking photos like this how do you transport your figures safely? I’d be worried about breaking something especially the wrist pegs on Janeway.

Great photos!

Thanks!
I don't think you need to worry about the wrist peg as long as you don't forcibly try to bend it without using the hot water method first.

I carried them in a simple bag, the kind we carry groceries in. A cotton bag with handles. Which turned out to be not the smartest idea since then the black uniforms had lots of fluffs afterwards...

So perhaps some plastic bubble foil for protection next time.
I was mostly worried about Janeway losing her hand, it keeps easily falling off so I made extra sure to check twice that she was still complete before I went from one location to the next.

I did once lose a weapon including the weapon holster - still to this day I have absolutely no idea how THAT happened. I had made sure the weapon was glued with sticky tape into the holster but somehow the whole holster had vanished from the belt. I noticed and went back to search for it but no luck.

Also with the second picture above, a lady came and touched Janeway's head, she wanted to make sure whether they were glued on or something. I said "Hands off" as I was afraid she would fall down and break her nose on the hard ground, which would have been a nightmare. She couldn't believe it when I said these cost 200 Euros.

But usually you meet many people who ask what you are doing and it is always funny! Once I was in a hiking area with Kirk and Spock - someone asked whether Scotty would beam them up now LOL

I also once met a lady from Florida while doing pictures here in Dresden/Germany, and she recognized Kirk and Spock and asked whether she also could take a picture.

So, wherevery you live, I'm sure you have some nice places to show off. Go out and have fun! Just make sure they are always sitting or leaning against something, we had a strong wind yesterday and I also was worried about them being blown over. And never go far away so you are always ready to catch them should they fall.

You really don't want them falling on their nose (or wrists, for that matter). And beware of old curious ladies

Star Trek: Voyager Ensign Harry Kim one sixth scale Museum Grade Figure will go on sale at
9 AM PST, Tuesday, April 25th, 2023
exo-6.com

$170.00

Harry comes with the standard equipment but also EXO-6 is giving Harry that promotion that he never got serving under Captain Janeway. He will be shipped wearing his Ensign pip, but also included will be a Lieutenant JG pip you can use to give him that much deserved promotion.

Harry will ship out end of May 2023.

 

[Skyroes]

Nice touch on the additional pip.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Love Harry. Easy PO. I've never dropped so much on one line. That's the power of Trek.

 

[davejames]

I'll be passing on him, but the sculpt does look quite good.

 

[scubasteve_85]

Kim looks great! Although is anyone else not getting Exo-6 emails? I’ve subscribed a couple of times and checked all my boxes

 

[Mike86]

I’ll probably pass on Harry too. I’d like to continue on but I think I’m done with VOY. I’m getting married in August so I have expenses coming up with that and other figures to pay for and while I like the character he’s not as much of a priority.

Didn’t get the email either. I received my invoices for the Enterprise E chair and Captain Archer. Checked my spam/junk folders and don’t see anything there either.

It’s hit or miss whether I get them but today’s email came through at 2:06PM EST for me.

 

[afaninfull]

I haven’t gotten an email. Thank goodness for the people on this forum.

 

[ebor]

I want to complete this line…so easy PO

 

[DParga21]

I think the best part about Kim is he's getting extra pips so you can give him his sorely deserved promotion finally. That alone mages me want to buy him.

While I don’t really want to display him in a fashion he never appeared on the show, I like that he comes with the optional pip too, so everyone can display him as they wish.

 

[Mike86]

Curious how the additional pip attaches. Probably a magnet but that’s going to be a tiny piece.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Definitely picking up Kim. Looks good.

No EXO-6 emails for me, as well. Perhaps we need to signup for them yet again?

How do you do the water method? I can't free the pegs from her wrists to drop them in water. I tried a hair dryer on them. They are still tough. One broke off in her hand, so I'm getting more pegs. It makes me not want to pose her. No problem with Chakotay, probably cause of bigger wrist joint?

I removed the hands, pulled up the sleeve slightly and put the wrist into a cup freshly boiled water. Don't worry if the uniform gets a little wet.

Then I carefully wriggled the joint back and forth, just a little. After a while it gave an audible snap and snapped into the next position. I moved it some more back and forth then with a bigger range.

It's still very tight but I can now move them without using water. The important thing is, if you want to do the "hands on hips" pose for example, to first put the joint into the right position and then put the hands on. If you try to move it with hands on, you don't see what you are doing and might move it into a wrong direction and then it snaps.

Good luck with finding pegs! I understand it is not easy as there are not so many female out there.

 

[MPCanes]

I’m wondering if exo-6 is hitting some kind of cap on how many people are on their e-mail list? Not super familiar with mailchimp but I’d imagine there are different tiers with how many you can send (ie, 10k, 20k, etc). Would make sense why some of us stopped receiving emails, we may be getting bumped off

Thank you. I will try it. How long do you hold the wrists in the boiled water?
