Yes, please do a review for the other two! Thanks for covering the Exo-6 stuff! To be honest, I don't find this one to be too off. It is better than the recently done T-Pol to me.
I was going to comment earlier but wanted to spend time freeze-framing the scene from TMP to compare with the figure promo shots to identify what might be throwing the likeness off. Per your comment in the video, the body is definitely giving off a very broad shoulder appearance and when I looked at the scene again it was surprising how thin and small-framed DeForest Kelley really was - he had super narrow shoulders. Based on Facebook posts, I believe Exo-6 knows the suit fabric is a bit too stiff and it's making the shoulders look broader than they should so hopefully that will be resolved in the final with a different fabric in production. The face accuracy is actually quite good when I focused on just the eyes and nose. What I think might be throwing it off is the hair is a bit flat in the sculpt compared to the styling in the scene and it feels like beards are challenging to translate to 1/6 scale solid plastic in general. Having said that, given my prior investment in Kirk and Spock TMP this was a quick preorder for me. I think there will be some improvement in the final production version and even if it mostly stays the same from the promo photos it's a good enough overall look that I will be happy to add him to the collection.
Thanks for another awesome vid. I was REALLY looking forward to this one because I love the Kolinahr Spock and this McCoy was just so random but great in concept but man, he just doesn't look much like DeForest. When I saw it I immediately yelled out YO JOE! thinking it was some re used GI Joe face sculpt, and he looks oddly buff. Not sure if it EXO 6 does discount figures like Hot Toys or Sideshow, if the price drops a little I might pick this one up. Again, the concept is cool, I love TMP but I might just have to hold off and save up for the TWOK figures which will come out....next year??? Anyway, if you pick this one up please do a review! Great work as always
Thanks for the kind words good sir. Sorry for the slow response! Sucks this one didn't hit for you either. Could always use a good GI in the collection...but not like this .. lol They are usually better in person but still. I think TWOK will be superior either way though....when they come hah thanks for watching and supporting the show!
Feel the same. And I'm nervous about TWOK too (my favorite and must have). Saavik had an "update" it seems, and she looks more like an idealized doll then the prototype, I'm afraid. I ordered her so I will see ... I'll pass this Bones.
One thing that I've noticed is that for better or for worse, what we see from the prototype is pretty much what we get! So I'm sure if you like what you saw then you'll still be happy!
While I'm not in love with this sculpt. I'm not as worried about the other Mccoy's, we have seen the prototypes of those (recently in fact) and they look good.
It's funny becasue when you showed the movie pic with the head sculpt side by side I thought the sculpt looked pretty dead on. I think it's the paint app and the super intense look in his eyes throwing it off a bit. Picking him up to complete the TMP trio and hopefully he looks better in hand.
You're totally right. The head sculpt is way off, particularly the nose. They're barely even trying. That said, it's been so hard for me to get the original cast figures like Kirk, it's easy for me to not care. Good point about the shoulders, too.
I'm told it looks better in hand as I thought but yes a dissatisfied with how it's looking atm. They night make more tweeks but we shall see! Thanks for watching!
i preorderd one. its uniqueness makes it a buy now.. i wish they would rescuplt the head and narrow the body/ shoulders. your absolutely correct. maybe customize a bit, but have to do it in a way not to damage any of its shipped artifacts....maybe swap a body... dont want to paint head. not sure it would help. its the eyebrow and nose thats shaped wrong.
But for 200 already I wouldn't want to have to put much more money into it either! Could be a fun project though! Great way to look at it! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
The resemblance is there and the outfit is iconic. I think with the other two he will still be great. Just not 100% what I was hoping for! Thanks for watching and supporting the show!!
I was a little kid when my parents took me to see Star Trek the Motion Picture. It looked fantastic but was too slow for me at the time. I can see the resemblance but if I was a Star Trek 1/6th collector I would be iffy about this purchase until my obsession with completing collections would kick in lol. The opening scene is still fantastic with a great musical score.
Loved the music and sci fi story that's for sure. I csn see it def being slow as a kid. I was really into their films after about 10-14. Would watch search for Spock after TWOK most though . Thanks for watching 💪🏻🥜
I'm STILL waiting for Klingon Commander Kruge!! Paid for preorder Sept 12, 2023... Where is Kruge!!!??? I have Spock and Kirk from TMP--nice, but this one? Looks like my GI Joe from the 70's!! ehh...
Looks cool but it is a pass for me. Waiting for the rest of the TNG crew since I have a feeling we are going to see more and more figures. Maybe even the lower deck cross-over figures. Keep up the great work Ben!
I'm so looking forward to completing this trio. But I have to say I'm not sold on this sculpt. His forehead is too sharp, eyes appear to be wrong colour. I heard the original sculpt went missing & then had to be redone. I'm hoping that like a lot of EXO-6 figures the promo photos show an earlier head sculpt/paint app. Geordi was a concern in photo, but turned out to be one of my favourites
The original prototype sculpt did go missing and there were plans to redo it. Then it was found again. This is that original sculpt. I wish they had redone it, because while I can see Deforest Kelley in the sculpt. I don't think the resemblance is strong. It's not just the eye color that appears to be wrong - the eye shape is completely incorrect. Look at De's upper eyelids and compare them to the figure's. Totally different. De's eyes were also a little larger.
Congratulations on picking up Kirk and Spock - I have Kirk which I managed to get the day they went up for order and he's great. I didn't go further down with TMP but I need to decide which Kirk, Spock and McCoy trio I want to represent in my collection whether TWOK or the equally as iconic but more colourful TOS versions. So many decisions coming down the pipeline but Im glad Im not one of those trying to complete all of the crews, TNG is going to be my complete crew and then its mainly Captains, randoms like Quark or Kruge.
@@TheBenThomasShow will still be delivered quicker than if he was coming from Hot Toys. Currently trying to find the budget to slip Ro into the mix with Shaw and Saavik reportedly releasing this month. At this point I think apart from TNG and TWOK I’m going to be limiting the collection to a few more Captains and then will bow out.
Currently I have all the TOS figures that QmX released. Im hoping whenever Exo-6 does Chekov and Uhura, that they will match or at least blend in with the rest of the five that I have. As far as Exo-6 McCoy, I'm holding out for TWOK figures if and when they come out. It'll probably be Mr. Nanjin's final thing before he loses his Star Trek license.
It's not just you Ben. I don't feel it either. I really like that EXO-6 is doing a lot with the license...I just wish they were consistently better with their sculpts.
Totally fair! I'd rather wait for characters longer if they aren't getting the b and c team treatment. Some are great! And others super questionable. Thanks for watching and supporting the show!!
I don't think he looks that bad. You gotta remember, the aim is to get close enough not completely identical. I think overall he looks good. I'm waiting for the Wrath of Khan trio. And from the prototype they showed, I have no worries.
I see the resemblance still forsure. But compared to some of their other offerings, it's one of the weakest likenesses so far. But appreciate you tuning in and supporting the show!!
EXO-6 have been a bit of a mixed bag, but I've been happy with them so far. However, this headsculpt is a big miss for me. McCoy is one of my favourites in all of Trek and I love this costume. I'm a bit torn really. I want it, but don't want it.
Unfortunately I'll be hyper critical on all the McCoy's as he's my number one character. The recently shown TOS looked amazing, but the one by the feet of the figure was awful. Even the previously shown TWOK McCoy needed some work
I have Kirk and Spock from TMP. I would love Dr. McCoy but I rather would not have the disco version. If this is the only version I have this is not it.
I’ve got both Spock & Kirk from TMP…but I ultimately had to say no to Disco Bones. The headsculpt looks nothing like DeForrest. Every feature needs tweaking. Body proportions are waaaay off. Just no.
I don't think the likeness is accurate to the film. I think there are some angles where I really do see him, and others, less so. I think he will look good with the other two figures, and you won't really see it as a miss in a cabinet. I did order him, because I have the other 2, and I think I have more tolerance for likenesses that are close, but not fully there. I'm also going with TMP for my movie Kirk, Bones, and Spock, rather than WoK (I'll have Saavik for the maroon uniform look).
Still a great reason and if you ever parted with them the 3 would sell beautifully as a collection imo! I think he will be better in hand just like most of exo so far but we shall see!
Too little too late. I sold my TMP Kirk and Spock long ago. I gave up hope this figure would ever get made. EXO-6 should do those of us still buying their figures a favor and rerelease them. Either way we are ALL waiting on The Original Series and Wrath of Khan Kirk and Crew to finally be put up for preorder.
I was really looking forward to completing the trio, but I have to agree with you Ben. The lips, forehead, and even cheek bones are off, and the shoulders are too wide. He looks more like a villain from a 70’s Bond film or something. Sadly, I’m going to have to pass.
It's outrageous what EXO-6 is pumping out and assuming Star Trek collectors are willing to swallowing with this purchase. Do not reward bad sculpts or figures. The manufacture will not adapt if collectors do not speak out.
Personally, I don't like any of them. Spock is particularly bad, Kirk looks more like Tim Allen than Bill Shatner. Disappointing, I'd love to see some killer original Trek 1:6.
I'm hoping their Wrath of Khan lines is better! But we shall see. They've Teased some more OG trek figures on Las Vegas, and I'm not convinced yet! Thanks for watching and supporting the show!
Yes, please do a review for the other two! Thanks for covering the Exo-6 stuff! To be honest, I don't find this one to be too off. It is better than the recently done T-Pol to me.
Will do! Maybe once Mccoy comes! Thanks for watching and supporting the show!
