Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

They're great figures (I have the first two so far) but they don't seem to photograph well - most photos don't do them justice and they don't look good at all in that video (that's a polite way of saying they look terrible in the video :))

Very much looking forward to seeing McCoy in hand later in the year. I need to ask Michael Crawford to include a "Most Un-photogenic (aka MUST SEE In-Hand)" category in the poppies for the best figure with the worst aggregate photo representation - these guys could seriously upset the streak held by HT's Chewbacca.

I'm trying to learn more about lighting the proper way. So much depends on the right moody light. I often take hundreds of pictures and only one or two are actually useable.

As this video was meant to show off all the details it has the glaring light which may not be flattering.

I guess we all just need to try... and try... and try again until we can take good pictures ;) Oh what a hardship.

I haven't been able to take good photos of these guys yet either - certainly nothing I'd put up in my Flickr collection yet. :) I feel like they're characters in a Seinfeld episode - "Camera Face"

So Bones is due to ship in March and yet I was charged for the full amount upon placing the order. Just curious to see that QMX doesn't follow the standard practice of charging for the figure until ready to ship. Hmmm...

That's only standard with Sideshow and retail operations (and figures don't ship for 6-18+ months). Most manufacturers of 1/6 seem to charge up front - it's just much easier to handle than trying to process failed transactions later.
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

Some manufacturers vary. Like PCS for the SOA figures you could do either. Three Zero for Danni you have to pay up front. Storm Toys Hogan, you paid upfront. Usually if you want the ex. you pay upfront. Otherwise you can pick the figure up at any retailer that charges just an NRD or nothing at all.
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

Good points, Pix and ali. I guess what threw me off was that when placing the order on QMX's website, it said "In Stock" for Bones. So I didn't even think twice about the charge.

Just received a shipping notice with tracking number for USPS priority mail.

Who did you buy from?
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

I just received the shipment notice from QMX as well! :clap

Regular or exclusive? I ordered an exclusive and watching my email as I type
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

Hadn't even noticed it was already up for pre-order at Sideshow.
Ordered there with RP's, I hope the good Doctor arrives soon.
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

Got mine. I am building something sweet for the Doctor. Doesn't look like it will be finished when he arrives
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

Got my shipping notification for the EX from QMX today as well. :rock
