1) Do you expect there will be 1/6 Star Trek TNG after QMx, and what do you expect from the future releases.
It seems like you are very passionate about making that happen, and there's definitely a market for it. I'm not sure exactly how big that market might be, but there is definitely an absence of high end Star Trek collectibles that an ongoing 1/6 line could fill.
One consideration is that there will be some people apprehensive about starting a line with an ensemble cast if they feel there's a potential for not everyone to be made. Being open about how far the line may go from the get go would be important, though I understand this would also depend on how well initial offerings sell.
2) Do you see yourself collecting the whole crew? Or just some specific characters? If specific characters, who are they in priorities.
I've so far avoided collecting Star Trek figures as I prefer TNG and DS9 over TOS, but I would definitely consider the entire TNG crew. I would say Data would be the safest bet after Picard, followed by Riker, Troi, Worf, Geordi, and Dr. Crusher in that order.
3) how do you feel about pre-ordering?
Pre-ordering is the norm. Although that would depend on pre-ordering with a deposit or pre-ordering with the full amount down. I think most people would be comfortable with a deposit, though some would be okay with a full amount.
But that also means a commitment to not miss delivery dates as it can rapidly spiral out of control like in the case of ANOVOS and many other colliectibles companies.
4) do you expect to see a delivery date? What is the Acceptable turnaround time that you would expect from future 1/6 Star Trek TNG releases?
Yes. Collectors have grown accustom to waiting about a year or so for products. A bit longer would still be acceptable as long as there is communication and transparency.
5) beside the main crew, whom do you like to see in 1/6 Trek TNG?
TNG has a rich host of memorable recurring and one off characters. I would definitely like to see side characters like Ro Laren or Miles O'Brien, but that would really depend on overall demand.
My suggestion (for both TOS and TNG) would be to provide uniform/accessory packs (ie. a pack with just a security uniform, Phaser, and Tricorder) so that people can make custom background crew members with their own 1/6 bodies and headsculpts. Would be a good way for folks to make a team of red shirts.
6) it is no doubt that the uniform used from S4 onward (S5 to be correct) were the Classic TNG era uniforms. What do you feel about 1/6 First Contact uniforms that had more military feel to it?
My favorite uniform is the First Contact uniform. This would be the ideal setup for me, but the series uniform is also extremely iconic. Perhaps a deluxe version of every character could be made available with an extra First Contact uniform included at an addition cost so people can have both. Or just sell the uniforms by themselves separately.
I'm not sure how many people would double dip on the same characters, though I know some would.

2. Disappointing
3. U.S.S. Copy-Paste
9) QMx's 1/6 Star Trek was released in 2017. In one short paragraph, describe how you feel about the experience.
I didn't collect the line, but the figures seemed okay with some issues. The line generally appears to have been mishandled. Had a lot of potential but didn't go far enough.
10) in your opinion, is there such thing as Trek vs Trek where one series competes with another.
There are some people that see it that way, as with any fandom. I think it's okay to like just one part of the entire series, or all of it. Everyone is different.
11) your top 3 Trek series of any?
1. TNG
2. DS9
3. First Contact
Honorable Mention: Lower Decks, which is excellent and understands Star Trek better than Discovery or Picard.
11) if possible, please let me know your age group: - This should be #12
B) 26~35
You are the ?Next Generation? Trek fan! Thank you for your time. Lower Deck is fun to watch. A wise expansion of TNG Lower Deck episode.
