It’s been two years since the last sign of any news from Star Trek scale character figure licensee QMx — who previously showed off prototypes of several different Trek designs, and released several Original Series figures for collectors — and as they’ve seemed to have departed the marketplace, there’s a now a new name in scale figures: EXO-6.

Led by former QMx developer Schubert Tam — the designer who ran that company’s line of 1:6 Trek releases — new company EXO-6 kicked off it’s foray in to Star Trek figures with the announcement of a 1:6-scale Lieutenant Commander Data figure, as seen in Star Trek: First Contact.

This 12-inch tall figure is clad in the familiar grey-and-black Next Generation movie-era uniform, and comes with a wide range of hands to hold various accessories, interchangeable heads to reflect the Data’s pre- and post-Borg Queen encounters, and Starfleet gear including a Type II phaser, Type III phaser rifle, and a Mark X tricorder, which attach to the figure using hidden magnets (when not being held).

· Fully Articulated Body: More than 30 points of articulation allow the figure to be displayed in multiple dynamic poses, approximately 30 cm tall.

· Two Realistic Portraits: Data comes with two heads, his regular portrait and also his look after the Borg Queen gifts him with grafted skin. Lovingly rendered by a top artist, these are excellent likenesses of Brent Spiner in his role as Data. Each head sculpt is specially hand-painted.

· Starfleet Duty Uniform Jumpsuit: Meticulously researched, this duty uniform matches the pattern, and color of the original costume recreated in 1:6 scale. Magnets are sewn into the uniform so the holsters for the tricorder and phaser can be attached. An authentically scaled communicator badge is permanently affixed to the tunic.

· Boots: Soft plastic boots sculpted to match the cut and style of the original movie footwear.

· Display Base: A hexagonal display base featuring the transporter pad will provide additional support for the figure. Two different inserts for the floor of the base can represent the transporter pad or the center of the transporter array.

According to EXO-6’s release, the company will produce “a wide-range of characters from across the Star Trek universe, with each series of figures planned out in advance,” and there are future announcements for additional characters planned down the road.

Tam spoke with Screen Tested at San Diego Comic Con 2017, about his work on 1:6-scale figures during his tenure with QMx:

We’ll have more details on when you can put in your preorder for this Data figure — tentative list pricing at $189.95, likely due to the probable relatively-small manufacturing run on this item — and more news on future EXO-6 release plans, as soon as that information is announced.

In the meantime, you can find out more information about this upcoming release at the EXO-6 website now.
