If you like your Starfleet captains — and if you’re reading this article we know you do! — then 1:6-scale Star Trek figure licensee EXO-6 has got news you’ll want to see!
The newly-formed company — former QMx developer Schubert Tam, the designer who ran that company’s line of 1:6 Trek releases — first announced its entry into the Star Trek world back in January with its Star Trek: First Contact Data figure, today announced that a line of “decorated captains” from across the franchise are on the way.
While this teaser image is all that’s been revealed so far, it already gives us a tantalizing idea of what the company has in store for collectors: a wraparound-tunic Captain Kirk, a “Darmok”-era Captain Picard, a compression-rifle-carrying Captain Janeway, a Dominion War-era Captain Sisko, and the NX-01’s legendary Captain Archer are all part of the EXO-6 plan.
This will be the second Picard figure for the company, as a First Contact-era Picard was previously announced for a late-2021 release, set to go up for preorder in May; likely it will be the same likeness sculpt with alternate costuming and accessories to reflect the Next Generation look.
(QMx also released their own Next Gen-era Picard in 2017, with a different head sculpt.)
In addition, these captain figures are expected to be followed by “companion crew members from each show,” so look for more members of the Original Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise crew to join their commanding officers in the future.
In a statement to TrekCore, EXO-6 told us to expect “a lot of amazing 1/6 Trek figures” in the future, so if this kind of thing is for you — start building up your savings account today, as the first Data figure went up for preorder with a $189 USD price point.
We’re still waiting for more specifics on timing past the “3rd Quarter 2021” image caption, but the moment we’ve got additional details on EXO-6’s plans — and better photos of non-prototype products — we’ll be sure to bring them to you here.
