After a long time waiting to get out of Shenzen, a long layover in NY, and then apparently a visit to every regional sorting center in the DC area, the EMH arrived yesterday.
My thoughts -
I've noticed it before, but I LOVE the new EXO-6 body. I've got my EMH posed with his arms crossed and it looks phenomenal - that's really hard to do with a Hot Toys body, for example.
I'm still in awe of the tailoring of the uniform. Even though, now, it's the fourth I've seen. I can't wait to see how Q turns out with his more ornate, different outfit.
Gotta love the bases. I haven't done this with any of the previous releases, but did you know the crotch grabber doesn't HAVE to go centrally in the back? It can go to the left or right as well. I've gotten into the habit of using the grabber on one leg, mid-thigh, and this makes it infinitely easier to pose with more options.
I'm still not sold on the headsculpt expression, but the detail is fantastic, it looks just like Picardo and the paint is excellent.
I like the option of the multiple hypospray syringes, though the yellow one that comes initially attached was really hard to remove. It also seems like it's slightly thicker than the others - they all fit well, but the yellow one is more snug.
I like the different graphics on the PADD, but I really wish we would've gotten new graphics on the tricorder. Why would a medical tricorder be looking at a nebula (or whatever it is in the graphic). Not a huge deal, just a wishlist kindof item.
Despite the fact that he only comes with the tricorder, EXO-6 still put the magnet on both sides so you can add in a phaser from another figure. It's a nice touch.
I've noticed people saying their signature card was in different places. Mine was actually taped to the inside of the cardboard box and not attached to the tray at all, just in case you can't find yours!
Overall I once again am pleasantly surprised that the quality inhand beats both promo pics and pics online.
