Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Kirk and Spock
I'm assuming that most of what you have mentioned will come to pass. Once we're well into the series, many of the lesser characters will have to come in the form of customs. I would love to have a nurse Chapel and Yeoman Rand down the line.
If any series begs a company to release accessory sets it's the Star Trek franchise. QMx should consider releasing simple outfit sets and separate head sculpts without any fancy packaging to help trim costs. I know I would buy many uniforms to create various characters.
Yeah, costume changes, custom characters, we could have a lot of fun with uniform and equipment packs. I don't mind if the ladies have the wrong wig on for the occasion! I suppose it comes down to cost and demand. Would it be better stick on patches and rank braids or would people demand each uniform for each character come completely correct? The latter becomes too onerous IMO.
A lot of people are not fans but I love the TMP uniforms. I'm painting and lighting a 1:350 Polar Lights TMP Enterprise and it would be so cool to dress up a 1:6 scale crew alongside it. I'm very tempted to get some made but even there, every character wears about three different uniforms. Even if you stick to the basics, that's:
Two piece blue and beige (male & female)
Two piece blue with collar
Two piece white medical scrubs (male & female)
One piece beige and white with pockets (and maybe red for TWoK security) (male & female)
Security armour (male & female)
Radiation suits (male & female)
Equipment packs
Uhura fan dance equipment
And then have stick on epaulets and badges for rank and department (possibly stick on sleeve braids)
I still want them but that's quite heavy going!
