QMX Star Trek General discussion thread

I imagine the production run for Chapel will be even smaller than the one for Scotty. Personally I don't know if this is a character I remotely need in my collection, but if it's well executed I might just buy it anyway.

I just hope Nanjin gives her one of the earlier hairstyles from the first season, instead of that ugly 60s beehive she had later on.

Please not the dead squirrel from the Naked Time.

Please not the dead squirrel from the Naked Time.

Haha yeah, that one was pretty bad. The one from What Are Little Girls Made Of was a lot better I think

Sulu is finally up at BBTS and Timewalker.

 

[jal76]

Thanks for the heads up! Not a fan of the September release date that BBTS is claiming though...

 

[jal76]

Nice to see that the excellent Khan figure is finally Waitlisted at Sideshow! Anything that sends a message to QMX that if they make these figures people will buy them is much appreciated!

Is Sulu up at sideshow? I just hope he can stay up till I get paid on Friday. I prefer my preorders there cause of the payment plans. I got my Khan today. Love him. His tailoring is exquisite. Great head sculpt. Fun to pose. The little phaser or whatever he came with snapped right away but I'm not flipping out. Ill email sideshow later today about it. I LOVED posing Khan today. I only stopped cause my son wanted some lunch lol. Witness the glory!...

I know it was mentioned before, but worth repeating, ThinkGeek.com has the Captain's chair for $59. Pretty good deal, if you ask me...

If they still have that chair by Friday, I'm getting it. [emoji41]

My chair came in from Thinkgeek last week and it is beautiful...I was moments away from buying it at 129.99 so for 59.99 it is even more amazing!

Well then, you'd be disappointed, because Nanjin does real-world accurate. He made Kirk's TOS tunic the correct avocado green color it is, and what's cool about that is under bright lights it looks gold just like the real deal. So if he ever makes Kirk's grey TMP uniform, it will be a real-world accurate representation. Depending on the lighting in the room it will look as grey or powder blue as you want it to.

Thanks for the early warning! I’m sure if we’re lucky enough to get TMP figs I won’t be quibbling over the color!

TMP is a beautiful film...it is just misunderstood. FACT!

Indeed indeed.

Right, same here. If we get the opportunity to have at least one high-end figure from TMP, it would be a first for that particular film. It deserves a good bit of recognition because -- in spite of the film's rating among the masses -- most Trek fans at least acknowledge it as the beginning of a very successful continuing franchise. TOS reruns got the ball rolling, but TMP sent it into real kinetic motion. For me it still ranks as one of the best ST films.

I rewatched it recently. Hadn't been there for ages now.... (I almost tatooed the film on the back of my brain when I was a teenager going through my TMP stage of development and never had the need to return after I left)

Great movie, great ideas, endearing special effects, very ambitious effort. You feel Roddenberry's gravitas, ambition and deep respect for his audience, traits that EVERYBODY lack these days. It is a serious attempt at nonsense (this ain't no 2001 ASO) that at the very least feels both feasible and workable.

Ah... Those were the days...

Agree on all counts, but as a kid at the time it missed the mark for me. And TWOK was precisely the antidote I needed!

 

[Timemeddler]

Cool, just grabbed a chair myself. BARGAIN!!!

 

[atexp80]

Picard might be rolling up tomorrow! Outside of Kirk and Spock (I'll be waiting for the re-releases of those) I'll be all caught up on the line!

New update by Nanjiin on FB:

Pushing really hard to finish TOS. I myself cant wait to have the complete TNG.

 

[Thrawn]

So here we have Uhura, 7of9, Geordi and Worf.

 

[Pauln6a]

Awesome Khan/Kirk fight. Just needs a judo chop hand. When Uhura comes out, Uhura vs Khan will be even better.

 

[harvey2face]

Still no Sulu up at Sideshow. I have reward points waiting, lol.
