QMX Star Trek General discussion thread

[JMW326]

I personally like that they are making Captain Georgiou. They don't need to complete one line before starting another. It makes sense to put out a figure from a current show as well. I'll buy her.

 

[DinoMan]

I love what Nanjin is doing with Star Trek. Hands down the best figures for Trek out there. Keep up the stellar work!

 

[davejames]

If they have skipped over Burnham, Saru and Lorca, all of whom I'd happily buy, and are just doing Georgiou (who I personally have zero interest in) as their first Discovery release then I have to say I'm heartily disappointed, and somewhat baffled, by the choice. I mean she was only in, what? Half the episodes. And in this guise, significantly less than that...

Oh well, at least the outfit looks pretty good. And it's cool news for anyone who really wanted a Georgiou (if it gets released), I guess. Meanwhile, I'll just keep waiting for Scotty, I suppose...

Agreed. As nice as the Georgiou figure looks, I would much rather have any of those other three characters before her. Although I realize Nanjin likely didn't know where her story would go when he started developing her.

On Twitter, QMX is calling this their biggest SDCC ever! No that was 2 years ago

 

[screamingmetal]

I don't understand. Of all the females in Trek their first one is not even on of the main female characters? Uhuru, Crusher, Troi, Dax, Janeway, 7of9, Burnham. Any of those would of been a better choice, and probably sell better then Georgiou, IMO.

CBS controls the licensing rights for Star Trek. CBS has a new Star Trek show on "TV". CBS is pushing merchandise for their new show STD.
That's probably why we're seeing a STD figure now. I think the reason it's Georgiou is Nanjin has a thing for Michelle Yeoh.

I can only say this.

I can develop and produce Any Trek Figures.

I have Uhura at work, I have 7, I have TPol, I have Sisko, I have Jadzia, I have a partially done Janeway, I have TMP Kirk, I have ST6 Kirk, I have partial Archer, I have a special Picard, I have Dr Crushed, The only character that I hardly think about is Chekhov [emoji6] (these are less than half of what I have been doing)

....and I have tiny voice at work.

Sorry, guys, those who know me all these years know what I wanted to do...and they should know...

I have been and always try to deliver these Trek Figures to the friends.

I am doing what I can.

And we thank you so much. I think lots of us(myself included) got super duper hyped up with all the possibilities and need to calm down. I mean at one point, I had a whole shelf cleared off for just trek even though there haven't been many releases yet. Still...I guess we just want more confirmed releases. I know I love my figures and want more. QMX haven't been in this as long as Star Ace for example but you're kicking their ass at this!

I’ve not collected anything other then hot toys and the occasional figure here or there so I don’t know a ton about what’s been teased or shown or confirmed so forgive me if this is a silly question...have they done the Kelvin timeline figures yet?

Well even if they never get released, I look forward to seeing pics of those completed figures someday. I'm sure they'll look incredible.

Nope, only Original Series figures have been released so far - Kirk, Spock, Bones, Khan and the Command Chair. Sorry plus Picard from TNG.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I would get all KT figures.

 

[JMW326]

You do not need to apologize for anything. Especially to some of the crybabies out there with no patience and are being bitter because they aren't getting the figure they want immediately. Lol. You have done more for the Trek collectible license than anyone has in many years. Just keep making great figures and I for one will keep buying them. If you make a character I don't care for, then I will just sit back and wait for the next. So far, I haven't missed a Star Trek release yet. Just keep doing what you do.

I think we all know that Nanjin is the best friend 1/6 Trek can ever have! Not to mention, also a great guy who helps out others a lot and is always willing to take a chance on anyone. I wish there were more people like him.

Especially whoever decides what's released at QMX

 

[karamazov80]

I gotsta have that Scotty. Not loving the Wrath of Khan Kirk sculpt, though it could be lighting. And I think the "real hair" on Khan is the wrong decision, but YMMV.

 

[Kebron]

Nanjin isn't the problem. Lack of communication, misleading information, and 2+ years wait time is the problem.

This time last year QmX was top dog IMO they regularly released figures and had a great reveal of several upcoming figures at SDCC. This year silence and a big chunk of those coming soon figures showed last year are not displayed this year. If plans have changed then just tell us so people can move on to other stuff instead of sitting in limbo for another year or more.

 

[karamazov80]

From what I can tell, QmX isn't a massive operation, and so they need to be more deliberate out of necessity. While collectors will always be frustrated when they don't get what they want when they want it, this isn't Hot Toys (which itself pisses many collectors off, of course). I bet many more figures would be well on the way if the decision-makers at QmX had it their way. But if they are continually showing things off, it only stands to reason that they hope to release them at some point. The hottest potential release on their horizon is Pennywise, and they missed the boat pretty significantly with getting it released in time for the first film. I suspect they are scrambling to get it out before the sequel hits. But if that's their priority and it takes this long to come out, you can understand the more methodical pace of Star Trek releases.

 

[thecapn]

I have no problem with long waits and long lead times...that is really the nature of this industry. But Scotty has been "done" for what, 2 years? And it still says TBD. If it said "4th Q 2019" and they had professional photos taken and up on their website with an accessory list, then I'd be fine. It's not the wait. It's the lack of conviction to release a product.

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that last year they released McCoy, Picard, Khan and the Captains Chair all within one year. Been about 8 months ,four months shy of a year, since their last Trek release. I think they released only one other 1/6 figure in those 8 months. To go from pumping figures out at a regular rate to a near stop is a huge red flag, and raises questions and concerns. The lack of communication and PR responses of "plans" and "soon" add to the problem. Combine that with missing figures in their display this such as Riker, Worf, Kelvin Kirk, the Justified figures, and Firefly figures. I'm hoping the upcoming Q&A addresses these questions and perceptions with concrete finite answers and not vague answers to keep leading people on.

I'd also note that other smaller companies are releasing product at a regular and in some cases faster rate.

 

[stickman]

Are we not getting Scotty, or Uhura? Any news?

I'm simply a TOS or bust collector. I'm happy for the fans that want and are getting other series figures.

 

[screamingmetal]

Nanjin, no complaints from me, your passion for Star Trek is what made what we already have so far possible!
At least we have that.
I'm personally liking the reprieve on my bank account.

Nanjin, could you tell us if anything at SDCC this year has a revised sculpt?
