We’ll be lucky to get the rest of the TOS crew....
So is the rest of the Next Gen Crew not coming anymore? Should i just go ahead and try and sell off Picard?
When should we expect BBTS to get their stock?
Owning it, I can tell you that the hair is definitely not too dark. If anything, it's got a similar base colour and more detailed highlights throughout it. As a result, it actually appears a little lighter. The paint apps are better too. I quickly threw a comparison of an image from MCW Toys reviews web site (credit to them) and part of an image I took earlier. Yes, the lighting is different, but you can quite clearly tell that the paint is not glossy like the old one and has various highlights through the hair. Paintwork around the eyes looks better too to me.I think the original version is better. It might just be the lighting, but the hair looks too dark to me. I'd be happy to pick him up though, if i didn't have the earlier one.

That's the best I can do for now. Someone with both would have to do direct comparisons. That's what I'm seeing though.
Actually, Kirk's hair changed frequently in Season 2. Season 3 was particularly dark. Technically, they are Season 3 TrekI think the original version is better. It might just be the lighting, but the hair looks too dark to me. I'd be happy to pick him up though, if i didn't have the earlier one.
Original plan was to use a body specifically for Kirk because of the Green Wraparound and Mirror vest, while Spock has his own. Everything was prepared since Nov 2018. Then the plan was knock out of the park.That's a weird photo of the 1.0, as in hand it doesn't look glossy at all - at least not the one I have. I just held mine under an LED and I'd forgotten just how good the paintwork was, both skin and hair.
McCoy, on the other hand, does have a little glossiness. It could be down to variation in the paint across batches.
I don't know whether it's an illusion, but Kirk 2.0 looks thinner in the shoulders and arms. I prefer the bulkier look of the 1.0. If I wanted to have a second Kirk, to have one in a standing pose, the 2.0 is a good option to avoid the aftermarket prices of the 1.0, but I'd probably change the body.

Maybe. None of my figures (original release) have any glossiness to their paint: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Kahn.
