I'm a big trekkie but this looks like an easy one to pass up.

I think it looks good, althought the phaser is pointing a bit high
I like it! I have one on pre-order. The only thing I don't like is that Kirk looks too thin in the upper body. His face is the best likeness I've seen to date. I also have the HCG exclusive 1/6 release of Kirk sitting on his bridge chair. The body on that is perfect, but lacks in the facial likeness department: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150238643968479&set=pu.83458633478&type=1&theater

Looks more like Jack Black than Shatner

Compare it to anything else done in the past and it's a spitting image. For some reason Shatner's likeness is very difficult to capture for sculptors.

Wow, best Shatner sculpt I've ever seen. Hopefully the production paint will carry over this well.
The 1/6 release of Kirk seated that I have looks exactly like the original photographed on the website. They did a fantastic job on that one. The detail is stunning.
I also pre-ordered the exclusive edition of Spock with the extended bridge console: https://hollywood-collectibles.com/spock19.jpg

No doubt that Kirk is had to capture, but I think this face looks too flat (at least from the angles shown) and just doesn't capture the feel of the character.
Out of all I've seen I think the 1/6 sculpt from WGP is the closest:
This looks pretty good. But the "printed" version, not so much, I think, at least in this pic:No doubt that Kirk is had to capture, but I think this face looks too flat (at least from the angles shown) and just doesn't capture the feel of the character.

Interesting, not bad... but does seem to have lost a bit of detail.
If you mean this one, you can't be serious: https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=7106
But maybe you are talking about something else.... ahem.

Not too crazy about this. And it will be another case of Kirk, Spock and maybe Bones and done. I'm going to stick the custom 1:6 figure route where there is hope for complete bridge crews.
And you know this how? Actually, I was told by HCG that they have plans on doing the entire "bridge crew." They even said that the plan is for the bases to "butt together" as a bridge set. Not sure exactly how that would work out, but nonetheless, their Kirk and Spock statues are by far the best that I have seen to date. As I said, I already have the 1st release 1/6 Kirk sitting on his captain's chair, and it's beautiful.

Yes, it does a little around the mouth.

I think it looks pretty darn good, too. Definitely better than the SS PF release of a few years ago, which I think looks like a bad dream.

The likeness is off. The area under the chin looks too chiseled and too prominent. The nose is too high and too small. The head is too tall and narrow. It should be wider and fuller, rounder.
