love this villain. love this box. like the rooted hair. love the accessories. love the figure. EXO is doing a great job - really happy with this figure.
I'm debating buying this one. There's one available at the place I sometimes buy figures from. Pricey though. I'm hopeful EXO-6 will have a Khan figure from Wrath of Khan. That would amazing.
Oh, so right about including one of those worms! That’s a missed opportunity on their part. Great review as always, good point about it being a risk to use the movie photo
The worm you could wrap around him would have been such a cool display option especially because he's wearing his robe in that scene also! Thanks for watching 🖖
My main gripe is the display stand. He’s standing on an enterprise transporter base. I much would’ve preferred a plain black base with a nameplate and the ST3 logo. I didn’t know all exo-6 figures have the same base. I’m fine with the tv series all sharing the same base, but the movie figs should have something different. Either a Klingon bird of prey base, or the Genesis planet base would’ve been perfect.
That's true! I've always thought of it as a cost cutting way of doing things on their part but even just a plain black stand wouldn't cost anymore! Even if they had a planetary style base the could use for most other alien type creatures it would add some variation! They do give that slip of plastic though and you could probably have a screen printing shop make a few for a low cost to change the surface of them. Shouldn't have to do that at this price though. He was the most expensive one so far I think
Congrats on your new figures. I have been holding off on purchasing it until I see some reviews.I may have to now send EXO 6 an order request. thanks, fo the review and for helping me expand my collection. Looking forward to your thoughts on Geordi. I have him and love the figure.
Kruge came out better than I expected, and is a great looking figure. But I don't get a lot of villains in my figure collection. And if I am going to get a Star Trek movie villain, it'd be Khan or General Chang. But I'm thrilled you are happy with Kruge and that he came out so great. It bodes well for future releases. It seems like after rushing the Voyager line, they have stepped up their game on the head-sculpts that are coming out now.
They've also so far done a great job on aliens! ANDORIAN, Quark, Saru, Neelix (85%) and now Kruge! It's the human likeness that seems to need a bit more love! But hopefully trending the right direction! Kruge is awesome! My geordi arrived with no PIps :( qc
OMG THOSE EYEBROWS!!!! I know in the movie he had big, bushy eyebrows, but what they did on this figure looks awful! The uniform looks great. Enjoyed it, Mr. The Ben Thomas Show.
Awesome review, Ben. Kruge is a wildly underrated villain. "Klingon Bastard!" Star Trek 3 also wildly underrated film -- probably because it was the middle child in between Wrath of Khan and Voyage Home. I think this looks really good. My final Thoughts: th-cam.com/video/SY7kx-ir6Ag/w-d-xo.html
I love Star Trek III. Its up there with the best of them IMO. Loved Kruge in the film as well as ALL the uniform designs. Kruge is a great looking figure though a bit too pricey for me. AND I'm just not willing to wait 15 years for EXO-6 to producce Kirk Spock & McCoy from the film. So I gotta pass.
He was a very pricey dude! The air and the costume plus the likeness rights added up id think. I think if they'd given him better sculpted hair it would have looked a tad better and been cheaper to produce I'd think. But who knows
They can say what they like. For some folks these likely do feel like museum quality. Im loving this figure in hand even though I've been critical of other exo lines outwardly. I doubt I'll ever be able to get a kruge figure from anywhere else. Wax statues are in museums and some of those likenesses are far worse than this one is 🤗 which then technically means this could be museum quality if it's the closest representation of the character that exists in figure form. But sucks you don't like it! Sounds like you're a fan of the characters
@@TheBenThomasShow I am a fan. Lord knows I've been chomping at the bit for the damn wrath of Khan Kirk, Spock, and Bones, but those are the only ones I'm probably getting. I'm just not in love with the quality.

Same!! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel also 🖖

Hah sorry not sorry 😅 glad it helped you make some decisions! I stuck the hair down a bit and it's almost perfect! Love it 🖖

@@TheBenThomasShow I think that is my biggest fear with EXO-6, is the pips or communicators falling off.

Agreed!! Thanks for watching 🖖
Agreed. Kruge should have come with that bizarre looking pet dog he had on the ship.
Hah hell ya! Or the worm!!

Despite what they keep saying, these pieces are just not, in any way, museum quality. Not for the price paid.

well the costumes/uniforms certainly are.... the headsculpts maybe not. but they are improving.
Totally fair! Hope they start improving then to see that turn around for ya! 🖖
The costume is the most disappointing. They went with gray pleather those strips should be metallic silver.
Sorry you feel that way! I love it in hand! Does it for me! Did you pick this up still
