QMX Star Trek General discussion thread

[DEATHASYLUM]

Hard to justify buying such an expensive chair for a line of dolls that are completely sold out. I guess if you have old Playmates dolls you can use it but really, the business strategy to go into a holiday with no more Kirk and Spocks available and expect people to pony up for the chair is pretty dumb. This line is obviously boutique for a small audience which is fitting; they must be a small company because they dont answer their emails. Kudos to anyone who got in on this line in the begining but for those of us who were late to the party, it seems we are out of luck. And if future fans can't get the big three and the company is already announcing a limited run of the first villain, I don't see the market support for any other big display pieces (helm, science station) or secondary characters beyond a Klingon with multiple heads (Kang, Kor, Koloth, etc.). These are sad times for classic Trek.

I wouldn't expect anyone to buy the chair without Kirk, or Spock. Post was meant for those with the figures. These things were available on several sites for a long time. Sorry you missed out, but Star Trek fans have waited a long time for high end figures. Selling out was only a matter of time. Also, I'm sure the green wrap Kirk is coming, since nanjin told somebody to hold off on hunting down a second Kirk. Would make perfect sense for QMX to get individuals like yourself on board that missed out.

For Khan you can sign up to get an email from QMX when they put it up for order.

I have to disagree with your last sentence too. These are great times for fans of Star Trek, especially for the original series !!!

kirk and Spock have been available for over a year. As for getting in in the beginning, I just purchased both when they announced the Chair going up for order, so I am late to the party and still have the figures. They are also making a Kirk variant with the wrap around tunic, so the chair will still come in handy.

Yeah, as others have said, this is pretty common, I'm not sure what you'd like them to do. And these were both available for a pretty long time. Heck, I picked up a second Kirk for around $120 last Xmas on sale, so it seems as if retailers were trying to get rid of them for a while.

I just went on eBay and there's Kirks up there for around $250. Higher than the original $180, of course, but well within the limits of reason of an aftermarket sale. Keep your eyes open around here, too, one will come up eventually.

I can see the argument that maybe the chair should have been available around the same time as Kirk as a companion piece, but remember that Kirk and Spock were the first releases in the line. Gotta test the waters and make sure the fish are biting before investing in creating more pieces, and I can only imagine that development costs of a chair with all those electronics is pretty high.

I just purchased Kirk and Spock Exclusives from Popcultcha. They are still available there.

Does anyone have an idea when QMX 1/6 Commander Data might become
available? Been waiting forever for this one, or so it seems....

 

[Monte Williams]

I had Kirk and Spock, and I thought they were beautiful, but I parted with them fairly soon 'cause I didn't feel like my photos were up to snuff, and the shoulder articulation was off-putting to me.

I've been feeling a yearning to reacquire them and add Bones (in the imaginary scenario wherein I have money); then I checked in on this thread and learned they're sold out! so much for that, ha ha.

I would be curious to know as well.

I want a regular Data but the version I’ve dreamt about getting since getting into 1/6th is the one from First Contact where the Borg Queen has him captured and is turning him “human” and his android skeleton is exposed.

I assume you meant this one.

Nanjin can you tell us when some of the other Next Generation figures and Seven will be up for preorder??

 

[Captain-Miles-Dallas]

i would love to see a 1/6 Seven Of Nine made by QMX, although they have
not made or shown any of the Star Trek women in their photos... which is
a terrible oversight on their part, IMO.

Nanjin has been posting in progress shots in his facebook for months:

Oh wow!! That’s amazing. I’m in day one for that. I actually meant more along the lines of this but I’d take either.

Thats a really ugly 7 of 9, hope it's not the final sculpt.

I believe she is being worked on still. It was mentioned her hair needed retooling and the upper torso.

Soon...

Those look amazing! From Nanjin's facebook? Also means they're probably still trying to do rooted hair for Worf which I'm fine with provided it looks good.

Ugly, really? I've never been a fan of the character or VOY, but I still think the sculpt looks pretty damn good.

I suppose if they were going for Worf's mid-series hairstyle, rooted hair might work. But I don't really see the point if it's the later ponytail look. And that does appear to be what the sculpt is from.

I really hope they do sculpted hair on worf. I hate the way rooted hair looks for the most part and the prototype with the rooted hair looked horrible.
