QMX Star Trek General discussion thread

[FlyAndFight]

That's one of my grail Star Trek figures - Green wrap Kirk. We definitely need that one for the collection.

This will be a body with neck. Don't think I will make a without neck version. It is specially made for his Green top.

I already have an amazing TOS Kirk for some specific episodes. I won't show until he is approved and ready for production..

Kirk had no tummy yet in the early episodes of season 1! In season 3, yes! But not in CharlieX, and the wrap around tunic in that episode was different from the one he wore later and which you made, Nanjin.

Season one Kirk was still ?fit,? and there was a S1 green. But S2 onward, thry had to make special outfit for Mr Shatner because his size changed every few episodes, and because they dry cleaned Kirk's tunic, it kept shrinking. That's why the Green was worn by Kirk most of the time in S2.

I'll be perfectly happy with just Uhura in tights!

If i'm out of line, mods feel free to delete but I think it would be cool to have a general discussion thread for all the figures instead of just putting all the general discussion randomly in the kirk/spock, McCoy, and Picard threads.

I get the feeling that we need to be vocal about what exactly we want and don't want going forward. I feel like there are probably several characters/crew members that if we say nothing we either won't get or we'll get but not get what we want.

To be different, I'll start with one idea I haven't seen anyone mention specifically: For the less popular crews, can we at least get the captain? I don't know how many of you want a Paris or Tuvok but I know much more of you would probably like a Janeway. I would like a Capt. Archer from Enterprise but have no interest in Mayweather or Reed. Basically what I'm saying is that obviously the main crew of the original and probably next generation should probably get figures but maybe for the others, we can try to gouge who else we really want.

I'll have more intricate thoughts later should this thread be allowed to continue. We can all chime in about what versions of which characters we want from all the shows/movies.

I already read you thoughts years ago.

I think once they got the TOS trinity out of the way, they should of done the Captains. Then circle back and do other characters from the different series. I love Scotty, Data, Worf, etc, but I REALLY want each Captain to go with each ship in my display at home.

Give you a hint. This is exactly what I WILL do something similar [emoji38]

TOS seven are definite buys for me and several iconic aliens such as Romulan, Gorn etc then the seven in their red movie uniforms (Scotty hopefully in his engineering uniform) I'd prefer them from TUC rather than TWOK, but TWOK is also fine with me.
TNG only if the main seven were made incl Dr Crusher.
DS9 would be my preference after TOS, but it's unlikely that the core crew would be made. 9" Quark didn't even get a release by Playmates & they were pumping out characters.
No interest in Voyager, Enterprise or reboot crew (although I do enjoy the films)

You assumption is wrong too unless I am QMx [emoji1787]

Remember, I am just like you guys. I want my favorite characters just like you guys.

The Trek vs Trek phenomenon is obviously showing in some of these replies.

No one listened to me when I brought up Trek vs Trek except the previous director of CBS consumer product, MC.

Only she acknowledged what I saw in Trek merchandising.

JJ Abram was right to Kill all old trek (that's what he wanted to with trek) because old trek will prevent his new trek from existence.

I think Uhura and Seven look like they are the first two female figures. My dilemma is that I'm a completist so I get frustrated when characters are left out but I also don't have the space to go the whole hog for every genre so I'm in for all the TOS figures. I'm also hoping that Chapel and Rand get made but realistically, I don't think that's likely any more than Kyle or Leslie. I just don't think the numbers will be there for them to do them commercially. They might do better selling uniform and equipment packs for folks to use as customising fodder when they get to the end of the run. I have already commissioned a custom Rand head with TMP hair. That way, if she does get made, I won't have two the same .

Worse for me is that TMP is my favourite Era. I love the look of the ship and the diverse multi racial crew. Thus, on top of Rand, I will probably end up commissioning Chapel, Decker, Ilia, a few of the aliens, plus TMP uniforms for all.

I noted that Nanjin teased a TMP sculpt for Kirk as a personal project, so maybe he has found someone out there who will be willing and able to make those uniforms for me! He also stated previously that he is a fan of Majel Barrett so it's possible some kind of sculpt might get made, most likely Lwaxana, but I can see how some minor tweaks could turn her into Chapel, especially if her hair is not too crazy.

I have no interest in Ms Troi but Ms Trek (nurse Chapel)

I hope the exclusive version comes with those tights.

I once bought this. One day I'll be brave enough to actually put it on him.

 

[nanjin]

My other thinking with this thread is that I know, at the minimum, Nanjin will be watching but I also think other people from QMX will be looking at various forums like this one to try to see what we want. Nanjin mentioned Q on his facebook and that we the fans need to let Qmx know we would want him. That should be for any character. So...how do you think the releases should be? The idea of captains and then circling back is a good one but I kind of like jumping around more than that.

I think it's very interesting how many people are pro Dr. Crusher. I think of that show's main seven, she seems to get the least figures for some reason and I want to echo the others in saying I would like to get her. In fact, I even have an idea for the exclusive. The regular is just her in her uniform and the exclusive would be her with the doctor lab coat Got to go to work but when I get home I'm gonna list what release order I'd want for all the characters I want. I'd suggest many of us do the same. Let them know who we want NOW and not later. I think they're more willing to listen then Hot Toys for example.

Did you see Q listen to what Picard wanted? They care less about humans.

The Q Continuum are gone from 1/6 trek, and I believe I can put ?forever? to this statement.

Chapel gets insufficient love and respect! The woman was a scientist and researcher with training in ancient alien civilisations and archaeological medicine and all she got to was change bedpans and develop ice cream recipes. I even saw someone on Facebook ask who was that blonde woman in one of the promo pics. We must reclaim her honour in 1/6 scale plastic!

Just buy a Hulk Hogan figure as a sparring partner and go for it. Once Kirk learns how comfy they are even when in a masculine bear hug he can start lobbying Starfleet for pyjama uniforms.

Yes. Tapatalk not functioning well or Q is screwing around with my phone

I probably would pick up a Chapel or possibly two. Then I could try to make a McKenna from ST Continues

No, I don't think that Nanjin is talking about a Gamesters of Triskelion Kirk, he is talking about a TOS Kirk for some specific episodes, not for just one. Perhaps in his green wrap around, and with a tribble?

I guess we are not too far away from a special Kirk and not all to far away from a Uhura.

I'm sorry, but I never had any feelings for Christine, Uhura (only TOS) has been, is and will ever be my favourite female Enterprise TOS officer, closely followed by Mira Romain and with some distance Tonia Barrows. Unfortunately there was no big deal female officer in a gold tunic.

 

[Koloth]

There are two different wrap around tunics Kirk wore in seasons 1 and 2:

Season 1:
“The Enemy Within”
“Charlie X”
“Court Martial”
“This Side of Paradise"
Season 2:
“The Doomsday Machine”
“Wolf in the Fold”
“The Apple”
“Mirror, Mirror”
“I, Mudd”
“The Trouble with Tribbles”
“Bread and Circuses”
“Journey to Babel”
“The Immunity Syndrome”

Nanjin is showing us the season 2 tunic.

The women were terribly under utilised. I always preferred the ones who got stuck in like Lt Commander Mulhall, or Dr Noel, but Rand and Chapel could have been so much more. Lt Romaine, Lt Palamis, and Lt McGivers are quite annoying to me. I do have a soft spot for Barrows though. Maybe it was her Bewitched vibe.

An evil Kirk / Rand two pack always struck me as a fun set, even if a bit niche. Plus didn't good Kirk wear the green tunic? Mirror Kirk is more likely perhaps. Then you can have fun with Uhura's alternate uniform too.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Don't forget "Mirror, Mirror" renditions of at least Kirk, Spock and Uhura. Those would be automatic pre-orders for me. Bad-ass Kirk, goateed Spock and sexy Uhura... oh yes!
