Here are a couple pics I took with my phone. Picture quality is pretty low, but I am compelled to share. These are fantastic figures! I couldn't be happier with them.

It's going to feel like a very long wait for McCoy...

Looks like you have the same Enterprise I had my Kirk squatting. I noticed the white at the top of the stand. Seels like mine your stand broke at the same place also.

My Kirk and Spock have arrived. They have far exceeded my expectations. Many thanks to Nanjin for all of his hard work on these and also to Aaron for getting these out to me.

My last figures for god knows how long due to unemployment, so they are a little special to me.

DST Star Trek stands are notorious for breaking. I own 5 ships, the first one from 2002 and never had one break on me until my Ent. E that I've owned for only a year, broke a few months ago when I moved it. They really need to do something about this persistent issue.
You can buy custom acrylic display stands specifically for these ships on ebay, they look great but they're expensive.

Actually the stand was like that when I bought it new. The white piece is a soft rubber, unlike previous releases. I'll also weathered it some. Although I'm not thrilled with the effect.

Indeed. I purchased one of the acrylic stands for my Enterprise-D. It was pricey, but it looks great! I'm hoping to eventually get one for each of my DST ships.

I have not said much yet but these would have to be some of the most impressive figures I've bought in ages. Are they hot toys quality, in all honesty they are very close. They feel like sturdy quality figures with really great tailoring, acessories, sculpts and paint jobs.

I'd almost go so far to say they are perfect with the exception of spock's build. Kirk was perfect but Spock was a mess, He was way too buff and looked all wrong.

I put him on an obi wan wirh ankle extenders for the perfect build and height In relation to Kirk.

Hot Toys Obi Wan body?

My Kirk finally beamed in and I had fun trying different hands, poses and angles.



Apparently I am using the wrong hand for the big phaser, but I was afraid to force it into the more closed hand. I guess the slighly more open one is actually for the small phaser?



Um, wrong chair, but you get the picture

I have to say of all the 1/6 figures I have the hands on these are so nice to switch out. They come off and on so easily, yet never feel like they are going to just fall off.

Yes exactly... With long ankle joints.

A must do IMO

That's not happening for 99% of people with that body because a specific HT body is 1. hard to come by and 2. insanely overpriced (I know because when I sell them I charge an insanely overpriced sum )

So how about alternative bodies? Shouldn't be too difficult to frankenstein something as long as the chest, arms and quads are on the thin side.

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

Incidentally, I discovered by accident that the phaser rifle disassembles into three pieces. It's not glued together, so the front end with the barrel lifts out of a socket to release the transparent section.

You mean, the front end going up? I tried but mine seems to be glued, and if looking closely, I also can see some shiny glue sneaking out. So perhaps it's just yours.
Please do a picture of it taken apart and Kirk cleaning!


How about some music? I couldn't decide which version I like best, so you get all four of them.

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

Agreed. I would like to know that too. I only have one spare HT body and I don't think it's suitable. There are Obi bodies here in the UK, but £45+. So, yeah, nah. Not worth a third of the figure price, IMO.

Any experts with ideas?

I'm gonna go through my other KO and custom bodies and see what I have.

For those who don't have an obi wan body here are a few alternatives

- Alex Murphy body, basically the same thing
- hot toys basic TrueType with the chest and abdomen from the slim body (which is what the obi wan body is)
- hot toys Stan lee body with the legs from a regular TT body

Ahahahaha Great! Thank you! I love it!

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

I was a bit disappointed they didn't include a couple of switch out displays for the PADD, but it forces us to invent some of our own!

That would have been cool, but honestly I don't remember seeing anything on the display in the show or even in any reference material. I'd love to see some hi-res pics of what was accidentally included in some of the shipments to see what they invented, otherwise I suppose we could invent almost anything. Maybe a page from the 1975 Star Fleet Technical Manual...
