Kirk and Sisko are my favorite Captains.

I'll be reviewing Picard probably this year. Sounds like a long wait for Kirk, but it will be worth it.

I think it would be awesome if they would make just ONE good Deanna Troi statue.

On paper, I think Picard may have turned out the best out of them. His portrait looks phenomenal. I'd probably display him with the Earl Tea. I think its such a cool accessory. That, and I always remember him doing his iconic 'Engage' pose when he's sitting down. However, the only statue I'd buy from the TNG era would be Q. Maybe Locutus.

So far I'm more than happy with Spock. I doubt I'll get my wish, but I'd prefer to have the Movie Kirk to go with him. Star Trek IV The Voyage Home was my first exposure to Star Trek and is still my favorite of their movies to this day.

Still, the more I look at this new Kirk Statue, the more I like it. Unlike Spock and Picard, I'm a little iffy on Kirks' Portait which is why I want to see this review. (Your video convinced me to get Spock) But I agree, the pose totally captures the Classic Kirk.

Now that would be awesome. So far, I'm unclear what the details of the license are. So far, they've only done Captains, so maybe the license is limited to them?

ES is 150 on this, just like Picard.

I have to get Picard as well

Shocked there aren't more of these being made. I thought there were more Star Trek fans out there. Or maybe they just aren't aware of these statues?

I think the 1/6 scale Exo-6 figures are doing okay. But the price difference is probably a big issue.


It’s kind of funny that they probably produced more Michael Burnham figures than the amount of statues being produced here.

Unlike most, I actually don’t mind the new stuff. I do like Discovery and SNW (except for a couple of episodes). But Picard has been a complete mess until the current season.

If you do, just be prepared to get a hair dryer or heat gun out in order to properly seat the statue onto its base.

I'm surprised, too. Especially Kirk, who's $300 less than Picard since there aren't any switchouts.
