Yup, he sure did. I've been working on him on this, mostly with getting the props right. He's got a phaser with magnetic removable P1, tricorder, opening communicator, and medkit in the works as well. He's making Kirk, Spock, and McCoy for now...I personally can't wait to get a hold of a set of these!

That is some of the best work I have ever seen. Have you given any thought to selling heads or doing custom commissions?

Actually, I am making the TOS figures for other 1/6 (12") collectors. But I should have a few extra sets available. Right now I am still evaluating the prototypes so I don't have an exact price for them yet. When it is available, I will post it here. The cuttings on these uniforms are based on the Official TOS Uniform Pattern except two areas: I left out the shoulder zipper (look better without it and it is not neccessary) and I am using magnets to attached the phasers (both P1 and P2) and communicator instead of Velcro.

I just began working on TWOK series too and it is in initial prototyping. The head sculpts are done by a really good sculptor. The TWOK Star Fleet Uniform is EXTREMELY complicated but luckily, the gentlemen at Star Fleet Uniform Club are helping me to squeeze as much details into it as possible. (I am still trying to find out how does that front right panel looks like on Kirk's Vest). I might include the Away Team Jacket if it can be made in to 1/6 scale. I, myself, really want to include the Jacket. I will see if it is possible. Also others in Star Trek Blueprints are helping me on the Refit-Enterprise Captain's Chair. Here are some pix (this is just a rough draft):

Hey Nanjin,
Will you be making these to sell? What pricing did you have in Mind? I would be very interested in them.

I checked into it, he wants to sell sets of the three figures for $450 dollars. He wont break up a set. I wouldnt mind having a Spock, but i dont want the Kirk or McCoy bad enough to spend that kind of money. Maybe someone that wants a McCoy and Kirk would like to go in together and get a set? Supposedly he has them ready to sell.

For $150 a piece what do you get? I assume it's a fully painted figure and not just a head, but is it clothed? accessories?

Fully clothed figure, head painted, multiple hands, one set is bendy (so you can do the live long and prosper salute). Comes with phaser, communicator, tricorder. McCoy comes with a medkit that has his scanner and hypo.

You know, that Spock looks awful nice, and i would get it if he would break a set up, but i was just thinking, i paid $150 for the Sideshow 1/4 scale premium figure a few years back and its a lot bigger, heavier, has a great headsculpt, uniform and a tricorder. Its more of a statue than an action figure though. I dont know what my point is exactly here but i think i would still spring for the Spock for $150, maybe even $200.
