It would be cool if the tribbles were the base.

Hopefully an interview will be posted soon on what the future might hold. They have so many licenses it's hard to keep up with what they are doing

So now I have Sulu and the two Spock figures. 

 

Initially, I was a bit disappointed with the Sulu portrait, however, I reflected on it... took some snaps and overall I really do like it. 

 

My biggest issue with the Sulu figure is that the head don't snap on as firmly as it does on either of the Spocks. This is more of an annoying not than anything.

 

My feeling of the Cage Spock, is that he seems a bit pale, and that doesn't accentuate the sculpt as good as it could have. 

 

I have no issues with the outfits on either... and in fact the cage spock is tremendous IMO.

 

Here are couple of pictures!

Do these all have the same body type under the cloth clothing? I have Spock and he's superb but I've been put off from getting the rest as I assumed they'd all use the same body as Spock.

That last picture looks like a "word to you mother pose".

Sulu's head is a tad bigger than Spock and the yellow is a lot brighter than the gold from the show. Small nitpick. I just wished we would have the green tunic Kirk in a few more shots and learn more about how to get the MM Spock

Yes same body. Sulu is out of scale but surely not as bad as the wave 2 Art Asylum TOS figures were compared to the wave 1 TOS figures.

Michael Crawford has a great Naked Time picture of Sulu. I am not that brave yet to start removing uniforms on $70 figures

Yep. Sybeck1's 411 is right on the money!

 

Removing and replacing Cage Spocks outer jacket is a bit of an ordeal.. but I think he looks better with it removed.

 

As mentioned... to truly be in-scale Sulu should have been a bit smaller than Spock, but its hard to complain. 

 

I love MWC's reviews. Sometimes I think he can be too Generous, but here I think he nailed it. Its an excellent figure... but not quite as good as the Spock release and he gets that across.

If I had the funds I would go QMx because more has been revealed from that company than Mezco

According to reviewers like MWC... QMx has hit it out of the park.

 

Have to agree the Shat portrait looks great. but they are more than 2x the cost!

 

But yeah... what was shown at SDCC by QMx was amazing.

 

If the TWOK spock and kirk come out as good as the TOS ones... I'll keep with the Mezco TOS and Go QMx fro TWOK.

The price on the QMX 1/6 figures amazing for that scale and level of detail. Compare it to Hot Toys who is the leader in that industry and charges around $220.00 per figure.
