EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

[Jimmy C]

The video presents a lot of concerns regarding availability and being in the right place at the right time to order/preorder. First concern regarding the limited time and availability of TMP set. Second there’s a comment ( I don’t know if it’s specific to KTL figs or generally) regarding the Asian market getting first crack and the western market the leftovers. Third discussion about how fast Janeway and FC sold out in the past . Not easy to understand and decipher. Hope TMP a does not go up on Good Friday.

Glad we're finally talking about Archer!

There seems to be a pocket missing on his upper arm? I've seen him getting the communicator out of there twice now. I understand though that these probably won't be working zippers.

Of course Archer!

Good spot, assuming these are all protos to be revised before production

I was afraid I was the only one being interested in him! I am watching Enterprise (plus everything else Scott Bakula has ever done, quantum leaping, singing, dancing, the full package) for the very first time and enjoying myself immensely.

Let's hope so! I know that Nanjin always cares for all the little details. I don't know whether he had access to an original Enterprise uniform like he did with other uniforms.

That’s great - Quantum Leap is fantastic and one of my favs. Me and my wife always refer to Scott/Jonathan as Dr Scott Beckett! He’ll always be him to us having grown up with it. Don’t get me wrong - love Archer, brilliant character for sure.

I’m a dog lover and have 2 myself so was really hoping for a Porthus to be included with him - he’s the best accessory any of the captains can come with in my opinion! Cute little fella.

If you don't know it yet, watch the 13 part series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" from 1996 on youtube.
He's a spy there, falling in love with another spy. Doing lots of stunts, there's action, humor and love, really great series! I'm sure your wife will love it too

I had not expected Porthos to be included so that also brings me huge joy!

That's why I wanted an Archer too. He might be older with the wrong hair, but there'll never be QL figures, so you do what you can do.

My dilemma is... how to get a Dean Stockwell. Lone Ranger needs his Tonto, as AL referred to himself in one ep..

 

[DeganUAB]

Are the voyager figures considered screen colors or set colors?

You’ll just have to hope Exo-6 makes a Grat figure

Good recommendation - will take a look thank you

 

[nanjin]

Nanjin, I meant no disrespect brutha. Just saying that there needs to be a bit more scale to how black hair is sculpted in 1/6th. It’s not just your company, my friend, it’s industry wide. There have been some great innovations in how the scale of straight hair is depicted I.e. SS 2015 Jedi Luke vs any of the latest 1/6th figures like from Exo-6! Just trying to be constructive.

Understand. I am still in an agonizing state since l lost this friend. When I accepted the fact that he is really gone forever than I can move on and be able to accept people's comment about his work.

Right now. I am very protective on anything he did for me.

Nanjin just posted a few new pics, for those who don't have FB.

I know it hasn't been discussed much on here, but I'm seriously loving that Burnham sculpt and how perfectly it captures her despite not having a ton of detail like the male characters. I think that's when you know you have a great likeness.

As for Riker... eh still not feeling that one.

I feel like every review of released EXO-6 figures have remarked on how much better they look in person compared to photos, and I think that’s still holding true.

Seeing photos of Archer here, they seemed disappointing online, but in person at the convention I was surprised that the hairstyle didn’t detract as much from his likeness. His portrait is great, but the angles and lighting in the photos seem to undermine the quality of the figure. It wasn’t absolutely perfect, but its expression captures non-angry Archer pretty well!

I also feel the same about Riker, who I think will be improved upon, but the figure looks way better in person compared to some of these photos and again I think that’s due to angles and lighting. Seeing them in person you’re able to take in more of the sculpt/figure at once and nearly every figure displayed really impressed.

I’m not a big TMP fan, but Saru, Quark, Seven, TNG Picard, and Locutus (plus the Borg Alcove) were the most outstanding for me but seeing Tuvok in person made me the most giddy since I’ve been arguing for his immediate release on the VOY thread.

How can you know the end date already if you’re waiting to see how successful ENT and DS9 and DSC are before determining how expansive those series will be? Do you have scenarios planned out for each being successful or not already?

Dude, i was a senior strategies in a gambling establishment for 15 years. My job was to predict the future trend and the possible outcome.

I did nothing else except 1/6 Trek since 2016. My brain runs scenarios of possible outcome on a “constant” basis even while I was browsing in toys store.

I think I have already ran all the possible scenarios.

Lastly, as oppose to conventional thinking, I don't think about how can I be successful, but how can I fail this.

Lastly, some friends know I want to build a school. So my plan is to finish Trek and move on.

I have a time limit, thats why I am moving so fast.

Nanjin, would you consider the voyager figures screen color of set color?

 

[DeganUAB]

The Voyager Janeway has very red shoulders, so my guess is she is screen color. EMH looks more set color. Just my two cents.

I guess I would just prefer to have all of the figures be uniform.

 

[nanjin]

I've said it before. I'm in for everything EXO-6 makes. This weekend just reaffirms my position.

I have no worries with how any of the figures looked. All of the figures released so far have had negative comments or nit picks on what would be better based off pics seen. In hand everyone has said the figures look much better in person. It happens every time we see pictures, and once again it is happening. It's like everyone forgets what has happened before.

Nanjin is a fan, he wants to make the best Trek figures, more importantly he wants us to have the best Trek figures ever made. He has shown us the future of 1/6 Trek, and I am very excited for it. It doesn't matter how the pictures look, or how the QmX figures looked years ago. I know when I finally have the EXO-6 figure in my hand it will be superior to the pictures and old QmX figures.

Thank you. Like I told Norm at TEST. Our Prime Directive is to make the best 1/6 Trek that we can produce after we can't improve anything.

With this direction, I am sure I will be satisfied with any results. If we can't do better than your expectation, then skip the figure. We failed you, and you can move on to some Marvel or DC.

But we didn't fail ourselves. We know we have done the best of our abilities under whatever constraints at the time.

 

[superdoug]

Nanjin, do we need to be glued to the forum and EXO’s website the next few days to not miss our chance at TMP Kirk & Spock?
