FYI, an in development modulated Body with no Mr Universe Biceps that will be available for purchase in later 2019.

Thanks Nanjin!!!

Any news you can tell us about Kirk 2.0 or Spock 2.0?
Or any STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE figure news (it’s the 40 anniversary this year as you know)?

We all appreciate your hard work, so thrilled to be filling out the TOS crew, can’t wait to see Uhura [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303]

That looks like new tunic material. That material looks like it could work for a Kirk wrap around tunic.

Really love the more screen-accurate blue, but the shirt is looking kind of shapeless on that body at the moment. I'll be curious to see how the final figure turns out.

FYI, the tunic was only a test for possible improvements. There are NO plans in doing season 2.

A better fabric was used when I proto'd the green wrap last year.

Also, as of now, no plans for my Spock 3.0 (version 2.0 is what we have now)

Ah, so it sounds like it's only the slimmer body that will be made available (for use with previous figures), and this wasn't meant to be a preview of a new Spock figure. Got it.

I take this opportunity to mention that making Trek 1/6 is both my hobby and work. Making new, improved, or different Trek figures are more related to my personal interest, production is related to my work.

Because I dont depend on my work to feed myself, I have tunnel vision. At the end of the tunnel is 1/6 Trek existence. Thus, my Prime Directive is 1/6 Trek survival and well being. I will do Anything in my power to uphold my Prime Directive.

So all of you changing to the slimmer body - how do you get off the boots? I am seriously worried about the leather breaking if I force them off. They seem so delicate. Or would we just leave the foot with joint in and slip it with the joint on the new body? Can the joint easily gotten out of the leg? Questions for later I guess.

 

[davejames]

I've never had a problem removing the boots myself. Although you can always heat it up a bit first so the pegs will pop out easier.

A slimmer body would be a great addition.

 

[Pauln6a]

I'm definitely going to get a slimmer body. I wonder if there will be an easy way to make Spock taller than McCoy?

Hopefully it will include removable ankle extenders — or ones you can add.

 

[harvey2face]

I wonder if these bodies are being done separate from QMx, or a side project from Nanjin? Either way I'm interested in picking up a couple. Also a quick update on my scuffed up Sulu, Sideshow is sending me a replacement head. So now he'll be able to take his place with the rest of the crew.

Good question. Great news on the slimmer body being made available.

Now we're talking!

So they aren’t rereleasing Kirk and Spock?!?!

I was very surprised by that too. Doesn't quite make sense. There's definitely a demand, and you'd probably sell a few more of the side characters with new collectors. Seems like it'd be a good business decision to do and collector friendly.

 

[atexp80]

I've bought McCoy, Khan and Picard based on Nanjin's posts about the new Kirk and Spock figures. I've also got Scotty and Sulu on pre-order. I'll be pretty miffed if that's not happening and I've been suckered into buying a line I'll never complete.

If that's the case, I'm out right now. I respect QMx for doing these figures, but if they don't give new collectors the chance to complete the set then that's poor form. Not only that, but after ditching Firefly after Mal and Inigo from The Princess Bride looking a little uncertain, this will be the third time I've been burned by them. No more chances. They'd be insane to do it, as it'd straight up kill their 1/6 figure lines.

 

[davejames]

I don't think it was just Nanjin either. Pretty sure QMX also said in their Q&A that they'd be releasing a new Kirk and Spock at some point.

But it's starting to look like the only thing we can really trust anymore is what actually goes up for preorder.

 

[Pauln6a]

I'm still fairly sure that they will do it but they may not want to delay the release of new characters at this point. If they don't, knock off sculpts will start appearing soon enough. I'm 100% convinced that there will be a way to get Kirk and Spock. Their popularity is undying.
