EXO-6 Announces 1:6-Scale STAR TREK Captains Series

Connect with trekcore.

If you like your Starfleet captains — and if you’re reading this article we know you do! — then 1:6-scale Star Trek figure licensee EXO-6 has got news you’ll want to see!

The newly-formed company — former QMx developer Schubert Tam, the designer who ran that company’s line of 1:6 Trek releases — first announced its entry into the  Star Trek world back in January with its Star Trek: First Contact Data figure , today announced that a line of “decorated captains” from across the franchise are on the way.

While this teaser image is all that’s been revealed so far, it already gives us a tantalizing idea of what the company has in store for collectors: a wraparound-tunic Captain Kirk , a “Darmok”-era Captain Picard , a compression-rifle-carrying Captain Janeway, a Dominion War-era Captain Sisko , and the NX-01’s legendary Captain Archer are all part of the EXO-6 plan.

This will be the second Picard figure for the company, as a  First Contact -era Picard was previously announced for a late-2021 release, set to go up for preorder in May; likely it will be the same likeness sculpt with alternate costuming and accessories to reflect the Next Generation look.

(QMx also released their own Next Gen- era Picard in 2017, with a different head sculpt.)

In addition, these captain figures are expected to be followed by “companion crew members from each show,” so look for more members of the Original Series,  Next Generation ,  Deep Space Nine ,  Voyager , and  Enterprise crew to join their commanding officers in the future.

In a statement to TrekCore, EXO-6 told us to expect “a lot of amazing 1/6  Trek  figures” in the future, so if this kind of thing is for you — start building up your savings account today, as the first Data figure went up for preorder with a $189 USD price point.

We’re still waiting for more specifics on timing past the “3rd Quarter 2021” image caption, but the moment we’ve got additional details on EXO-6’s plans — and better photos of non-prototype products — we’ll be sure to bring them to you here.

EXO-6 Teases First Contact Worf 1:6 Scale Figure

Assimilate this!

StarTrek.com

Ahead of First Contact Day, EXO-6 is joining in on the celebration by teasing their next 1:6 scale figure in the First Contact collection — Worf in the EV suit!

This fine collectible figure is a perfect rendition of everyone’s favorite Starfleet Klingon and a great addition to your EXO-6 Star Trek 1:6 scale figure collection. The EXO-6 First Contact line includes the previously released Captain Jean-Luc Picard figure and Lt. Commander Data figure .

When first introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation , the surly Worf was the first Klingon to serve in Starfleet, assigned on the U.S.S. Enterprise -D under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

In the film Star Trek: First Contact , Starfleet has engaged in combat with the Borg. Following a massive battle, the Federation appears to be losing. The U.S.S. Defiant , commanded by Worf, is unable to turn the tides of the battle. As the Defiant is about to ram the Borg ship, the U.S.S. Enterprise -E beams aboard its crew, rescuing them, and reuniting Worf with his old crew.

Donning EV suits, Picard, Worf, and Lt. Hawk must travel out to the exterior hull of the Enterprise -E to thwart the Borg’s attempt to phone home. The Environmental suits that the Enterprise officers wear for the spacewalk were created by costume designer Deborah Everton specifically for this film.

The EXO-6 1:6 scale Worf collectible figure will incorporate lights into the suit and helmet just like the original. Thanks to Norman Chan of Tested for consulting with EXO-6 on adding lights to the replica.

Pre-order and additional figure details will be released by EXO-6 at a later date.

Stay tuned to StarTrek.com for more details! And be sure to follow @StarTrek on Facebook , Twitter , and Instagram .

EXO-6 Archer & Shran review

EXO-6 has certainly been, as their Executive Producer Nanjin Tam might say, ‘firing a full spread of torpedoes’ so far this year. Today, we’re looking at the EXO-6 Arche r and Shran figures. It’s a good time for Star Trek: Enterprise lately. This brings the number of figures released in just eight months almost hitting double digits, practically unheard of for 1:6 collectables companies. Especially those that are focusing their efforts on a single license like Star Trek .

They’ve also bought us the first high-quality Star Trek: Enterprise merch in many years. The previous efforts were the uniforms from the controversial Anovos and the studio scale replica of the NX-01, the prototype for which was recently auctioned off . We haven’t seen anything since the prematurely ended figure and ships line from Art Asylum. That was while the show was on air! Their efforts also represent the first-ever figure of fan favourite Jeffrey Combs alias, Andorian Commander Shran.

EXO-6 Archer & Shran Packaging

To avoid too much redundancy, and given the packages are practically identical, the packaging for both of these figures will be reviewed together. They come in the standard 1:6 figure brown shipper. Within, you have the art sleeve, which goes over the standard windowed box with the figure credits and instructional video QR code on the back.

As always with EXO-6, these art sleeves have tasteful amounts of spot gloss to highlight the figure portraits and metallic printing for the series name, Star Trek logo, delta, and the drawn lines on the packaging. Sadly for this collector for Shran’s release, EXO-6 experimented with using a less reputable courier for the final UK side leg of the journey, resulting in the top back right corner of the box being a little bashed in. But given these boxes, for me, at least end up in a draw, that’s fortunately not much of an issue, and the packaging did its job of protecting the inner contents.

Commander Shran’s Sculpt

From the moment you lay eyes on this figure, it’s not only unmistakably Shran but also unmistakably Jeffrey Combs. Sculptor Waruna Waligamage did a wonderful job capturing the expressiveness that Shran would periodically fill our screens with. The eyebrows stood out as a particular highlight here.

Paintmaster Haoyu only enhanced the details of the sculpt further. There’s no mixing up that iconic Andorian blue, and it really stands out on a shelf. Equally part of the genius of Michael Westmore’s makeup designs was that they usually allowed the actor to emote with their face and body, whereas another artist may have given into the temptation of covering more of the face to create a more distinctly alien look. This is fully replicated in this figure.

This brings me neatly to one of my only critiques of it, which is that the lines on the face are a little too harsh under lighting compared to the series. Giving the figure version of Shran an extremely intense facial expression could make you jump if it caught your eye in the middle of the night. But then again, intense is certainly a word that I would use to describe Shran as a character, so maybe it does fit!

Shran’s Uniform

Uniforms are one department where Exo-6 has never disappointed and I’m pleased to report that this figure doesn’t break that trend. When he was first announced I was worried that there would be some corners cut, given that Enterprise is far from the most popular Trek show and that it’s a complicated uniform featuring multiple fabric types including leather.

Fortunately, my concern was unwarranted. The uniform looks superb and as though you could put it under an expanding ray and look as though it came straight out of the costume department. Every detail is recreated. The ribbing on the leather left arm, the armband on the right arm and none of it impedes the movement of the figure, although the boots are quite rigid which means you need to take care that he’s balanced correctly, or supported on the stand for more dynamic poses.

I was most surprised that it seems genuine suede has been used as well! I’m slightly concerned that over time the artificial leather may begin to deteriorate but unfortunately, that’s a risk that any collector faces if they buy a figure that uses it. Artificial leathers for use at this scale have improved a lot in recent years and it’s my hope that Exo-6 invested in a good quality one, which will see Shran looking pristine for years to come.

Shran’s Accessories 

Like with Saru, Shran isn’t short on accessories. Exo-6’s enthusiasm and love for the franchise shine through in this section. After all, it’d be easy to just throw an era-appropriate phaser and tricorder in with most of the figures.

Alongside an assortment (3 pairs) of extra hands. Here, we have amazing recreations of the Andorian Blaster, its holster, and the Andorian Rifle seen in Enterprise. Not just that, but also the Andorian Communicator! One of the real highlights of Enterprise as a show was that it really built out a few of the Trek species that had been around since the original series. Vulcans finally got their own tech! Several ammo/supply pouches fit easily onto Shrans belt.

But my favourite inclusion is that of the Ushaan ritual equipment. The Ushaan Tor and the protective gauntlet are seen in the Enterprise Episode United . Adding to my love of this inclusion is that it’s a pair. You don’t need an Archer figure to have two of each. They both come with Shran, so you can have him fighting any figure in your collection. Should you wish, of course.

Captain Archer’s Sculpt

Scott Bakula certainly has a face that you would be able to spot in a crowd. But I certainly don’t mean that in a negative way! The sculpt here from Godwin Nerona certainly managed to capture his likeness and especially that distinctive brow.

But with that said, I can’t help but wish that Scott Bakula hadn’t rejected the initially developed Archer sculpt with the Season 1 & 2 hairstyle. Hair is notoriously tricky to get right in 1:6. The seeming easiest-to-replicate styles are a couple of inches long. As seen on Archer in the later seasons, short-cropped styles are difficult to pull off. Sadly, This figure hasn’t hit the mark when it comes to hair, with it protruding from the ‘head’ in a very uniform jagged pattern that doesn’t feel or look ‘real’. That said, this only becomes noticeable when you get close up with the figure.

But aside from that, especially if you close an eye and hide the hair, the sculpt is Scott Bakula. The eyes especially really stand out when he’s on your shelf. For Enterprise fans, he looks ready for action, a common occurrence in the series!

EXO-6 Archer’s Uniform

Archer is the first figure from Enterprise to be released from EXO-6. So this figure would make or break the Enterprise line in the uniform department. But fortunately, they haven’t missed a trick here. Despite the right arm pocket being missing on the earlier prototype, it’s where it is supposed to be on the final figure.

Given the Enterprise uniform’s ‘utilitarian’ construction, missing a few details would have been easy. But they’re all here. The buttons on the back of the uniform. Every zip pocket. The iconic department colour shoulder detail and the Enterprise mission patch on the left arm. Like with Shran, the boots are stiff, so make sure he’s balanced properly or on the stand!

But further up the body. The main uniform zipper that goes down the torso is also completely functional! You can display your Archer in his more formal Season 1 & 2 look or lower it down for his more relaxed/stressed look from Season 3 & 4 to match the hair. On a 1:6 scale, having this functional zipper is impressive, and I’m sure fans will be grateful. Especially those that may commission a custom early Archer head sculpt!

EXO-6 Archer’s Accessories

In a strange turn of faith. I seem more excited to play with any EXO-6 figure accessories than the figures themselves! Archer certainly comes with everything you need to post your canine-loving Captain in a manner that is true to the character.

The detail on EXO-6 accessories continues to be unmatched as well. Like with the Discovery communicator seen in our Saru review . The Enterprise version also flips open and has all the relevant details beneath the cover. Included also is an Enterprise -era scanner with two different top attachments for extended and closed modes. But of course, no Enterprise figure would be complete without a Phase Pistol! Archer comes with one and the relevant holster. As well as the standard assortment of hands for each accessory.

I was slightly disappointed by the lack of a Starfleet pulse or particle rifle, but hopefully, as with the Voyager figures, the rifles will be included with the characters that were typically seen wielding them. So we might see one in a future release of Reed. However, the disappointment was more than made up for with including Porthos! Not lost by Scotty in transport this time, Archer’s prize beagle will complement any display.

Archer and Shran were always highlighted when they teamed up on any Enterprise episode. But it turns out they’re also a highlight together on any shelf! EXO-6 has done a fantastic job bringing these icons of the waning Berman era to a 1:6 scale, and any fan of Enterprise (or Trek Captains and aliens) would be wise to pick them up while they’re still easily obtainable.

The EXO-6 Archer is available for immediate purchase directly from the EXO-6 website for $205 + shipping. Along with Shran, who comes in slightly more expensive at $215 + shipping.

Review: EXO-6 ‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture’ Admiral Kirk Is Ready To Come Aboard

| January 24, 2023 | By: Jeff Bond 32 comments so far

Star Trek: The Motion Picture Admiral James T. Kirk

Manufacturer: EXO-6 Price: $175 Grade: A

Welcoming back The Motion Picture

A couple of weeks ago, we took a look at EXO-6’s “Kolinahr Spock” limited edition figure from Star Trek: The Motion Picture . EXO-6 is producing figures of Admiral Kirk, Spock and Dr. McCoy as they appear when they first step on board the USS Enterprise in the 1979 movie, the first theatrical film to feature the Star Trek characters. It was a big moment when we first saw these people board the Enterprise in preparation to intercept the mysterious space entity V’ger, and EXO-6 has chosen to memorialize that vibe with these painstakingly detailed, instant purchase additions to their rapidly growing line of 12-inch collectible figures.

Of course, Kirk was the first release in this little line and both Kirk and Spock rapidly sold out, but I just got my Kirk and damn if I’m not gonna review it! If you must have a TMP Admiral Kirk you’re welcome to hunt for one on eBay or elsewhere where it will likely be going for several times its $175 asking price, but you may want to save your money as EXO will definitely be offering other versions of the character (including one from the movie sequel The Wrath of Khan ) in the next few years.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture has fallen in and out of favor over the years, but a 2022 update of the 2001 Director’s Edition and a 4K HDR Blu-ray release have done a lot to rehabilitate the movie in the minds of fans. One element of the film that still comes in for criticism: the drab gray Starfleet uniforms designed by Robert Fletcher, which tended to make the characters blend into the woodwork as the bulk of production designer Harold Michelson’s set designs (including the familiar Enterprise bridge where the characters spend 90% of the film) were the same shade of cool gray. That may be one reason EXO chose to highlight the costumes the characters wear as they first board the Enterprise, as Fletcher did a bang-up job on those. In Kirk’s case, Fletcher came up with a slimming, hourglass design that looks a bit like a futuristic tuxedo, with a white panel down the front and back framed by green. Yes, green—not gray, although various prints of the film may make the costume look white and gray. Admiral Kirk wears this outfit as he exits a Starfleet air tram in San Francisco (his actual entrance in the movie), briefly confers with Enterprise science officer Sonak (soon to be killed in a horrific transporter accident), beams into an orbital office complex to meet Scotty and get a tour around the newly refit U.S.S. Enterprise, and finally board the drydocked starship for a tense confrontation with its soon-to-be-ex-captain, Will Decker (Stephen Collins).

The Admiral is on board

If you’re familiar with EXO-6’s online presence you’ll know that a lot of time was spent figuring out exactly what color Admiral Kirk’s uniform is, and I can’t find a fault with the execution of this beautiful design, from the green boots (bootstrapped into the green uniform pants) to the distinctive life-sign-monitoring “belt buckle,” gold rank braid, updated Starfleet badge, and shoulder epaulets. I saw at least one person complaining about some unevenness in the triple line of stitching in Kirk’s white collar, but the stitching on mine is flawlessly parallel.

As with Spock, the figure includes no accessories to keep the cost of this very limited edition down—but of course, Kirk doesn’t handle any props while he’s in the admiral uniform, so there’s really nothing to reproduce. In addition to his open hands, though, the figure does include two fists, just in case he needs to punch Decker. Also included as with Spock is a decorative badge, in this case a gold Starfleet one that can be displayed on the front of the figure’s transporter pad display stand.

William Shatner has long been one of the most difficult Trek actors to get a decent likeness of as far as action figures and other collectibles are concerned. Unlike Leonard Nimoy’s and DeForest Kelley’s craggier, more lined faces that lend themselves to sculpture, young Shatner had a notably smooth baby face (there’s a published fan fiction story where a criminal gets a rise out of Kirk by calling him that) with a small, somewhat blunt nose and a high forehead and temples that give his brow a distinctive “V” shape. He’s a handsome devil, but getting that certain Shatner je ne sais quoi is a challenge for sculptors. But if you think sculpting 1960s Shatner is hard, try 1979 Shatner. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture , Shatner and Kirk are 10 years older—Shatner’s face is a bit more lined, maybe there’s even been a little work done, so he doesn’t look quite like the old Kirk. In the movie, the actor’s makeup seems to change from scene to scene, sometimes chalky and pasty, sometimes ruddy.

EXO-6 TMP Kirk facial sculpt

But the big difference between ‘60s Kirk and Admiral Kirk is the character’s hair. Now I might be shocking some of you, but in the original Star Trek and Star Trek: The Motion Picture , William Shatner’s hair is not quite his own. Shatner’s natural hair began thinning at a young age and the actor found himself needing a little assistance from Hollywood hairdressers to give him that classic, high-hair-lined “hero hair” every ‘60s TV star needed. If you watch the original Star Trek in high definition, you can see the telltale signs of this hairstyling magic—check out the edge of Kirk’s hairline and the “widow’s peak” at the center of his forehead and you’ll be able to see the faint hint of a hairpiece “net” that holds a toupee down on the forehead and is then covered and hidden by makeup. Also note that the hair on the top of Shatner’s head is a lighter, almost blonde color while the hair on the sides and back of his head is closer to black. Now you don’t have to take my word for this, and don’t be too awestruck by my encyclopedic knowledge of William Shatner’s coiffure—there’s an entire, exhaustively-researched and v ery entertaining blog about this . Rumor has it that one or two of Shatner’s original Kirk hairpieces still exist in a box somewhere, hidden in the recesses of some enterprising fan’s collection.

EXO-6 TMP Kirk’s hair

So what does this have to do with the EXO-6 Kirk figure? Well, fast forward from 1968 or so to 1979, and a lot of thought was put into just what Admiral James T. Kirk’s hair should look like 10 years after he captained the original Enterprise. Test photos even exist of Shatner modeling his original hairpiece from 1960s Trek , but ultimately the decision was made to boldly go with a brand-new, giant black rug that would stick with Shatner for much of the early 1980s, through several Star Trek movie sequels and his cop show T.J. Hooker . This new hairpiece is huge, and in some shots seems piled high enough atop Kirk’s forehead to make him look like Elvis Presley. I say “some” shots because this hairpiece, much like Shatner’s makeup, does not look consistent from shot to shot, so in duplicating one specific look from the film, this Kirk figure may disappoint some whose favorite sequence is one of the later moments where Kirk’s hair seems a bit more flattened down.

So far, all of EXO-6’s figures have featured plastic, molded hair that’s part of the overall head sculpt, and Admiral Kirk is no different—it would be impossible to reproduce Kirk’s hair in this scale with rooted “Barbie doll”-like hair, although EXO seems to be looking into some characters with longer hair having rooted hair down the line. Molded hair generally works just fine with characters that have short, masculine hair, and EXO sculptor Sean Dabbs has done a heroic job of capturing all the waves and curlicues of Shatner’s 1979 hairpiece. Dry brushed paint details lighten up the dark black/brown look to something a little closer to Kirk’s ‘60s hair color in a nice compromise that even looks a little more convincing than what we see in the film.

But reproducing this look is a tough, tough job, as is recreating Shatner’s face. EXO-6’s exquisitely subtle paint details give Kirk a distinctive five o’clock shadow and a ruddy look, along with a wistful half-smile designed to reproduce Kirk’s expression as he sees the Enterprise head-on for the first time while touring around the ship in the travel pod with Scotty. You really have to get the proper lighting on the character to get the full effect of the likeness and as others have noted, this is tough to do in photos—I tried a lot of approaches, and then once I got the figure in a kind of dark alcove, the soft lighting really made it look right to me. (EXO-6’s professionally shot photos on their website do a much better job of capturing the Shatner likeness than I could.)

EXO-6 TMP Kirk looking good

I will wager this will be one of the most challenging Trek figures EXO will ever tackle. That said, take a look at the side-by-side comparison with my old Frankenstein combination of the original 1979 Mego Admiral Kirk 12” costume and a Playmates Wrath of Khan figure from the early 2000s. The ill-fitting admiral uniform is a straight gray and white, doesn’t include boots and gets the rank braids totally wrong among other problems, and Playmates’ Shatner sculpt and hair looks like something carved out of a bar of soap.

TMP Kirks: EXO-6 (L) and Playmates (w/ MEGO uniform) (R)

Admiral Kirk features the same rainbow-style, gold-inlaid packaging as Spock, and with a similar piece of showmanship on the inside—when you open the display lid (which is smartly armed with magnets to make it snap closed), you’ll see what Kirk saw as he and Scotty prepared to board the Enterprise: the starship’s docking port lighting up in greeting.

For anyone who’s been eager for a high-end reproduction of the Enterprise crew from the 1979 movie, these figures are well worth the wait. “Disco McCoy”—DeForest Kelley’s unforgettable, one-scene bearded look as he appears on the Enterprise transporter pad early in the movie—is due out in March, so close monitoring of EXO-6’s website is in order.

The pic where he’s in the bag looks like a deleted scene from Halloween.

I was going to mention the same connection. Make his face pale and he looks like Michael Meyers… hahahaha..

If they are going to recast Kirk for a TMP-remake or are moving SNW toward the TMP-era, they should cast Anson Mount. Is it the smiling or the hair of the figure? The resemblance to Pike in SNW is stunning!

A friend of mine draws portraits, and she thought Leonard Nimoy’s face was difficult to draw … until she tried to draw Shatner. She said that Shatner’s face was incredibly difficult to get right, and looking at the covers of the Star Trek novels, it looks as if other professional artists also found his face a challenge.

So this sculpt doesn’t look perfect to me, but when it comes to reproducing Shatner’s face, I think perfect isn’t possible.

Now I know what a child of William Shatner and Martin Laundau would look like.

Yeah it’s weird how close these sculpts get but still don’t quite look like the actor.

Landau would have been GREAT in a Star Trek movie as everything from the main villain to a fellow captain to the President of the Federation.

It’s said that Landau was a possibility to play Spock originally, but it’s not clear how accurate that legend is. (Nimoy was the first offered- Landau may have been seen as a fallback.)

It’s very accurate. However, the order offering of the role goes:

DeForest Kelly (yep!) Martin Landau Leaonard Nimoy

Martin Landau is quoted in the excellent “These are the Voyages: Volume 1” by Marc Cushman:

“I was offered the role of Mr. Spock, but I turned it down. I felt the emotional range of the character was too limiting, and I didn’t want to be locked into playing a character like that, week after week.”

Here’s a copy of an interview with him in 1986 saying essentially the same thing: https://catacombs.space1999.net/press/wrefplandau.html

That…does not look like Shatner. Is it the nose that’s wrong? The eyes? It’s kind of unnerving.

As Corylea said above, his face is extraordinarily difficult for artists to capture, in either drawing or sculpting.

Just getting human figures to be believably human is always challenging, as witnessed by the uncanny valley problem in computer generated people, even when they are created with motion capture from real actors.

But there’s something about Shatner that seems exceptionally prone to give us that in just about any sculpture. He’s commented on it in interviews, saying he doesn’t understand why they never really look like him.

Is the hair piece removable? :-)

I wish Fred Phillips and GR had overridden Shat on the toup choice for TMP. Shat should have stuck with an older TOS era wig, since that already looked a little receded. The Brady-Hawaii hair he clung to through most of the Trek films was distracting and unintentionally humorous (tho the TUC hair, which I think of as aging Steve Austin, does work okay.)

the Generations hair was his best movie piece in my opinion, but I agree for the most part. Even if they didn’t want to use the same TOS hairpiece, they could have used something similar , albeit more wavier and textured to keep up with his real hair.

Thank goodness! I’ve been hoping for an action figure like this of Ron DeSantis!

An action diorama as he necks with Gaetz, perhaps? While they put the constitution through a shredder and stomp their kinky boots on Mickey Mouse’s throat. (images described are intended as parody only, not intended to reflect views of trekmovie or its staff.)

Constitution through a shredder? Which articles? The Tenth Amendment?

The facial sculpture reminds of a young Christopher Plummer more than a young Shatner.

When Mr Shatner go in to space in Bezos space capsule, I have a big worry that his wig float off his head.

Much glue was needed, I imagine?

There’s usually something keeping it on. Although I think by this point Shatner has gotten implants (according to some blogs on the topic).

For me, I have no qualms about Shatner’s hairpiece or the make up for the cast on TMP. Looking at the films now up through the Kelvin timeline, TMPs look has stood the test of time. I’m thinking its Fred Phillips and that older style, the techniques and materials. You don’t see much wrinkles or blemishes on any of the TOS cast. Sure the crew is 10 years older. The makeup does them justice for the BIG screen. Kirk looks tan and his toupee I would say an ‘update’ much like someone cutting his hair differently or styled differently. Big deal.

However, jump to Beyond. I can’t get over how the late Yelchin’s make up did nothing to cover this humongous boil or mosquito bite he had on the back of his neck! I cringe everytime I see him in those scenes. How is it the production crew did not notice especially in dailies. Too bad he didn’t live to see himself. Like Shatner demanding CGI slimming of his rear in VI for what was it.. $100K, Yelchin’s relatives should’ve demanded CGI removal of his boil. If I were his brother, I would.

Shatner’s head is quite flat at the rear and with the Elvis pompadour, it’s quite a strange shape. His nose is broader which is a characteristic sign of a facelift (from behind the ears.) And he has that strange deep wrinkle on one side of his brow and not the other.

“ Molded hair generally works just fine with characters that have short, masculine hair.” There is no gender to short hair. It is simply short hair. Many people have long hair, many have short hair and this has no bearing on gender or gender expression. This language reinforces a very absurd, out-dated and repressive concept that boxes people into ridgid gender roles that serve no purpose. Are Thor and Aquaman, who both have long hair not “masculine?” Is a woman with short hair breaking this rule you are propping up? Of course, the author meant no harm, but this text should be updated to take it out of the 1950s. LGBT people, women and even cis-gendered men get boxed in by a thousand little “rules” like this that are perpetuated in small ways with language like this that shapes thoughts and expectations of people. It creates “rules” assigned by gender and then when people don’t conform, there is something “wrong” with them for breaking these made up rules. I hope TrekMovie will update the text. Thanks! :)

Men tend to have shorter hair than women. It is what it is. We speak everyday language.

(I say this as a man who married a woman whose short hair he found rather attractive.)

I remember when I first saw a picture of TMP Kirk, the hair made me think they had a new actor.

Is it already sold out? How unfortunate…

Yeah I only ever seem to find out about them after they’re sold out :(

Is there a link to the TMP test shots where he’s wearing the original hairpiece??? I love any photos of those crazy late 70’s years in trek

Agreed – that would be a tremendous discovery.

Just got this and my Spock is on the way too! I think these will be some of the most collectible Star Trek figures / merch in the future due to their limited number (they’re fetching stupid prices already on ebay!) so I didn’t want to miss out – but my caveat is that this is really something I’d only recommend for the die hard Motion Picture fans (of which I am one). This is not one for the casual Star Trek fan due to limited accessories and it being very “niche” in appeal but I love it. They’ve really captured the likeness and the “feel” of Kirk in TMP. Great work EXO-6.

“Respect is good, but latinum’s better.”

Sideshow and EXO-6 are proud to bring you the Star Trek Ferengi entrepreneur in stunning 1:6 scale form, the one and only Quark!

Although first seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, the alien Ferengi didn’t really become important to the Star Trek universe until Star Trek: Deep Space Nine introduced the bar owner and businessman, Quark. Quark was constantly working at odds with Constable Odo and Commander Kira, but over the course of the series he became essential to the operation of Deep Space 9 and a friend to all. Seemingly only concerned with profit and the acquisition of “gold-pressed latinum” Quark became a fully fleshed out and beloved character, thanks to the performance of Armin Shimerman.

The latest in the EXO-6 “Out of this World” alien collection of one-sixth scale museum quality figures is Quark as seen in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Quark is wearing one of his multi-colored suits which was recreated and scaled down by the expert tailors at EXO-6. He comes with his gold-pressed latinum, the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition book, and a Ferengi PADD.

This 1:6 scale figure re-creates this iconic character in exquisite 1:6 detail. Standing approximately 11 inches tall, no detail was spared in reproducing his outfit and accessories as authentically as possible. The original portrait of Armin Shimerman as Quark is expertly sculpted with an accurate likeness to the actor in full make-up.

This EXO-6 Quark collectible figure is a perfect representation of your favorite Ferengi and a great addition to your Star Trek figure display and sci-fi collectibles shelf!
