EXO-6 Star Trek "Voyager" Figures

So…?

Would love to see a side by side with the production piece, not to compare paint apps, but to see if the production piece is actually narrower. I always had the feeling that the sculpt had become squished in production.

No one is sure. NT kinda made it sound like this was the original paint master for Seven, but I’m not sure that’s true. His post was about this is how good the paint could be with unlimited time and money for each piece. But maybe someone with the inside track on the story can clarify.

So basically acknowledging the paint isn’t really up to par oftentimes..

But with a explanation that if you want that level of paint it would be more expensive and take more time.

I mean sure but still kind of an excuse for a subpar paint job on some of the sculpts.

If it was any other company the criticisms would come left and right. Star Trek fans seem blinded by being told no one else will make them so accept it or not.

You are right it is a excuse, but it is one that rings true. Trek fans wouldn't pay Hot Toys prices for a 7 of 9 figure. Plus no one is making these figures, and QmX dropped the ball because they made the same mistake all the others do, (make the big three and when sales drop off end the line.)

So compromises have to be made to get the product into a decent price range.

It's less about being blinded and more about understanding.

Do you really think people would buy a 300 plus Paris, Kim, or Neelix, let alone another company be willing to make them?

The figures are creeping up in price though. We’re not at Hot Toys pricing quite yet, but a lot of the newer figures are getting to be closer to $230 unless you opt for the barebones versions when that’s an option.

Also Seven of Nine was one of the more pricey figures partially because they wasted so much time and resources on developing a specialized body. I’d have preferred better paint on the sculpt. One of the reasons I passed on that figure.

Still no armoured Hirogen Hunter with Tetryon Disruptor?
