Can you use TBA from Hong Kong?

Get refunded from your supplier?

Tuesday can't come quickly enough.

Nanjin...if you are still around on these threads reading these comments...I just want to say that it is an amazing time to be a fan of all things Star Trek and a 1:6 collector.

And this is thanks to you and your team's endeavors at EXO-6!

Possibly, I haven't looked into it properly yet. Thanks for the tip!

Nanjin, just in case you are still coming on here and checking in on the thread. . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Apparently Janeway and Mirror Spock can be had at 10% off from Sideshow with code BESTFEST at this time.

May be controversial here, but I’d actually prefer to have the Robin Curtis version of Saavik.
Always found Kirstie Alley’s version a bit meh…

I am with you on preferring Robin Curtis’ Saavik.

I prefer Kirstie Alley as Saavik, but I prefer Robin Curtis as a person.

I'll be even more controversial and say I actually prefer Kim Cattrall's Valeris to either one. I just found that character so much more interesting and complex than Saavik, and Cattrall played her perfectly.

It makes it difficult when a recurring character was played by two different actresses. In an ideal world, we'd have both Saaviks and Valeris on our shelves, but the reality is we may only get one. I prefer Kirstie, wouldn't be upset with Robin.

I don't think it's that controversial. Kim Catrall is arguably (perhaps objectively) a better actress than either Kirstie Alley and Robin Curtis, and Valeris is much more complex than Saavik.

It seems like if there was ever going to be a Saavik figure and it didn't come with two heads, it would be a major mistake.

Nanjin likes them to be screen accurate though and her polo neck and rank insignia change from red to white.

I love Cattrall but I thought she made a terrible Vulcan. Far too emotional.

I think Spock got far more emotional in that movie than she did. And I always prefer seeing a hint of emotion or attitude in Vulcans anyway, versus those like Curtis or Peck who are far too robotic in their delivery for my taste.

The inner battle of controlling their emotions is one of the things I find so fascinating with Vulcans. I also like when you see at least a hint of that inner battle. Even though they try to be logical and control their emotions they definitely still seem to have them so seeing them try to walk that fine line feels more realistic then when they are portrayed woodenly.

Controversial….Jolene Blalock’s T’Pol is one of my favourite portrayals of a Vulcan

I will admit that I was quite fond of her portrayals as well

After Nimoy, I love Tim Russ as Tuvok the most. Quinto was great too.

Even her own mother said she was too emotional. I liked Blalock too, the turmoil. I think maybe Cattrall didn't seem like she was trying and that was what felt off to me.
