QMX Star Trek General discussion thread

[RED SHOES]

I ordered Sulu seconds after I saw that it was available on the QMx website. The package arrived today and here is a very quick iPhone photo.

Who's that blue guy? He looks more life-like.

I don't know I think folks are really overreacting on Sulu, it doesn't look that bad to me, even with the new, slight smile. George has weird eyebrows, so that fits -- not entirely accurate, but damn close; and the "smile" that everyone is blowing out of proportion is pretty mild.

 

[abake]

Yeah, Takei's left eyebrow is disconcertingly triangular!
I had never noticed that...

 

[greatlakes6]

He mostly has a deadpanned look and that is what most of us think of when we think of Sulu. As far as the eyebrows, it is suttle and only when he has the extreme facial expression.

 

[davejames]

Again, I would have been perfectly fine with a hint of a smile like we see in a lot of those TOS pics. But what we got in the sculpt is a bit more than that, and not nearly as natural looking.

 

[greatlakes6]

Exactly, not natural looking to the character.

 

[Drake]

Not reflective of the character and not even reflective of George Takei's actual smile. So it doesn't work well reflecting either the character nor the actor who played him, at least to me.

Nanjin posted a rejected paint test on Uhura. Looks pretty good.

Wow. Thank you. That is quite a compliment. I will share that with the 3-D artist. The blue alien was inspired by a character on the TV series, The Orville. I purchased a high resolution 3-D printer for the artist to use and he sculpts 1/6 aliens for me. He can also use my printer to fill any orders of items people may want.

That’s very cool. I’m curious how the 3D printed sculpt looks close up. Can you post some close up shots?

I agree. I was disappointed when they bait-switched the heads. That is bad business practice. But I am over being mad, and the one they are shipping out is still the best Sulu figure ever released. It knocks the socks off of anything else out there in the market. So by that standard, I can be happy with it. I just hope that QMx sticks to the advertised head sculpts for future releases. Hope and crosses fingers may work magic?

^Thank you.

Nice! Tabling this for Zaranite, Arcturian, Saurian and maybe Rhaandarite and Betelgeusian heads once the TOS line is complete...

I thought he looked familiar!
Everyone, go watch The Orville. That is all.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

^ Yep. Love that show.

YES! That would be awesome. The alien action figures from ST TMP are in my collection. I even considered making a 1/6 scale Saurian from ST Discovery. I have always wanted the aliens more than humans.

Groovy. I don't have enough space for the entire Rec Deck scene but I'll have a good try.

Not sure if this is common knowledge now, but it looks like Scotty is getting a second run. You can pre-order on SSC's site.
