Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Kirk and Spock

Yes, the tunic material changed to nylon as the velour would not hold up, and using nylon solved the problem. I can't wait to see how the red tunics come out!

They changed to nylon in Season 3, more or less viewed by Trek cosplayers as "official".

There were 2 reasons for the change of fabric:
"Kirk" required his costume dry cleaned for every new filming. So the velour shrunk every time the tunic was taken to the dry cleaner.
Kirk body changes, so the tunic beginning to look smaller and smaller. That's why the Green Wraparound used more often in S2 (expands).

Velour is certainly a more challenging fabric to work with than nylon. When the series originally aired, velour was very popular...some of my favorite shirts were made out of velour. The think the uniforms as a whole look great. I'm curious to know if future releases might include the alternate black utility belts that were used on the show, as they blend in more with the uniforms.

I hope QMX considers making accessory packs available that would include a full uniform, and maybe a phaser or two. You can never have enough expendable ensigns to go around!

Awesome! Do we have any idea when these will ship or is it just whenever in July?
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Kirk and Spock

Only the Romulans or the Klingons can delay their arrival.

Poetic answer, but those of us who have to budget for these might prefer at least a ball park date.......

In my case I am full steam ahead to ship by the end of July. The last I spoke to QMx they are also. Hope this helps.

Kirk EX ordered!! Undecided on Spock EX.
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Kirk and Spock

Got both EX versions. Just a warning that they charge your card now for them and not when they ship.
 
Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Kirk and Spock

Got the Kirk EX and the standard Spock! My reaction . . .
