Agreed. It kinda works on Kruge, but even that figure I think would work much better with sculpted hair.
Personally I prefer for the hair to be sculpted whenever possible. Rooted is harder to maintain and to me it looks out of place when 90% of the figures have sculpted hair. Don’t get me wrong a head sculpt with well done rooted and styled hair can bring the realism up a notch but I am no good at styling and even if I could pull it out the figures right next to it would most likely have sculpted hair. It’s one of the issues I have with the Asmus LOTR line. I end up separating the rooted ones from the sculpted in different displays.

Looks great. Although again wish we had the Seti-Alpha nomad; cloak , head gear (turban and googles).
Really need a EXO-6 WoK Kirk to go with.
And while a fine looking "captain on the bridge" moment sculpt.
Not sure what this^ was? but way to friendly
WoK Kirk needs much more of an intense look, to face off against Khan.
Or if to be staged opposite Spock in the warp-drive chamber.

Pike looks great and I agree on both Michael and Saru - I'm mainly planning on just collecting Captains with a few exceptions so I kind of wish Saru was the Captain variant - though saying that he could have an alternate jacket which would be perfect.
With the hair I agree, Hot Toys have pretty much moved away from rooted hair though I honesty the only one of the three currently offered I'm interested in is Kruge and while I think he’d be perfect with sculpted hair as it’s pretty short he’s also the best looking one at least in my opinion.

I think that was the old QMX Kirk prototype. Totally different from this figure from Exo-6:

Its an insane and glorious amount of figures listed thus farBased on that, it looks like we can expect around 20 figures released in 2022.

He looks great, the pose they have had him in with the book is
Going to be a long wait for him next year but he will be worth it and there’s going to be plenty of 1/6 goodness for us to drool over in the meantime!

I feel comfortable removing Khan's wig and doing my own rooted hair, so i'm not at all concerned with the hair. But this rooted hair looks poorly thrown on, it needs a little attention from a comb, some water, and some hair spray. I get that people prefer not to have to fiddle with things, but IMO well done rooted hair is miles better than sculpted hair. Its the "well done" part that is sometimes hard to achieve. The fur on the Khan boots on the QMx proto look better than the plastic sculpted fur on the EXO proto.

...and the furry boots.
Oh, I missed that. I do like the real furry boot tops better, yeah.
So now its more clear why there's so damn many figures revealed at the show... Nanjin's been busy for a very long time. He probably has another 40 figures in various stages of completion...

Huh. This was taken in Chicago yesterday:
And this was taken in 2017:
The sculpted "fur" boot tops seem to have been ditched a long time ago and have not come back.

I know this might sound odd, especially as I say that WoK is not just one of my favourite Star Trek movies but favourite movies in general, but for me the interesting thing on the photo is the TNG era Phaser and Phaser rifle bottom right 
It's surreal.
The Wrath of Khan is 40 years old this year.
That's 4 decades. We've seen figures over the years in smaller scales, customs and bootlegs.
But we're finally, finally getting Jim, Spock and Bones in definitive quality on the movie's birthday. It's an amazing feeling.
Just wanted to share, I'm watching the film right now and I've had a few drinks to celebrate this landmark moment in Trek collecting history.

Any solid info on the release dates? I'm torn between TWOK & TOS Kirk/Spock. If they're indeed coming 2023 and later, I have time, as that will be a much more empty year for me (Kang, Thrawn, Ashoka, maybe Star-Lord and High Evolutionary are the only things I can come up with ATM, assuming F4 is slated for 2024 and not counting any surprises or reissues) so I'll easily be able to afford them, even with the taxes and everything.
Speaking of that iconic scene, I think it would be cool if McCoy came with his white medical tunic as well.
