Welp folx, it didn't take long to see the first custom figures based on the 2022 line, and it's nothing short of a red Data. The work on the card here is good, but the paint finish, I think, is nowhere as glossy or as saturated as it would have been from PM.
 
Will we see something with the rarity of Redemption Data though in this new line? 
 
I'm on the fence whether such a thing would be good for collectors if the production runs are as small as red Data was, but it would be nice to see some convention specials with smallish runs of like 5K figures.

Nice. I wonder if the torsos are different like Kirk and Spock.

I was wondering if that's just a parts swap with a Riker body and a repainted neck on the Playmates card. Then I considered it's probably easier to match the red than the color of Data's skin.

Probably a repaint, the red seems a little off of the regular production ones. I was looking at the TNG torsos the other day and the wrinkles and crinkles are all the same just the thickness of the torso is different.
