After beaming down Lt. Commander Data and setting a course for Captain Jean-Luc Picard earlier this year, scaled action figure company EXO-6 has unveiled its third Star Trek release for 2021, bringing one of the Delta Quadrant’s most legendary characters home.
Teased back in April, the next entry in EXO-6’s 1:6-scale Star Trek Captains series is none other than USS Voyager matriarch Captain Kathryn Janeway, just in time for Kate Mulgrew’s holographic return in this fall’s Star Trek: Prodigy animated series — the first time a new Janeway figure has been produced since the series was still airing on UPN.
The first 1:6-scale figure from Star Trek: Voyager, the new EXO-6 Janeway design is based upon the character’s later-season look (with shorter, shoulder-length hair), measuring about 11 inches tall and armed with hand phaser, a Voyager-style compression phaser rifle, her familiar Mark X tricorder — and of course, her trusty coffee cup.
This 1:6-scale figure re-creates this iconic character in exquisite 1:6 detail. Standing approximately 11 inches tall, every element, from her 24th century jumpsuit to her custom black boots, is authentically reproduced. The original portrait sculpt of Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway has an authentic, hand-painted likeness.
The EXO-6 Janeway 1:6 Scale Articulated Figure includes:
• Fully Articulated Body: More than 30 points of articulation allow the figure to be displayed in multiple dynamic poses, approximately 30 cm tall.
• Realistic Portrait: Janeway’s portrait is lovingly rendered by top artists, with an excellent likeness of Kate Mulgrew in her role as Voyager’s captain. 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 series 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.
Captain Janeway is outfitted with everything needed for a Starfleet officer. She comes equipped with:
• Type II hand phaser. The phaser can be worn in a black holster that magnetically attaches to the jumpsuit.
• TR-590 Tricorder X: This standard tricorder can be opened or worn in a holster.
• Phaser rifle: Compression Phaser rifle used by the Voyager crew.
• Coffee cup: “Coffee, black.” Kathryn couldn’t start her day without her signature beverage.
This fine collectible figure is a perfect rendition of the best captain in the history of Starfleet and a great addition to your EXO-6 Star Trek™ 1:6-scale figure collection.
Expected to arrive to collectors this winter, the Janeway figure is set to go live for preorders this Friday (August 20) at the official EXO-6 website, where she will retail for $189.95 USD (plus shipping), which includes a $20 nonrefundable deposit.
(The first two figures announced by EXO-6 both sold-out of their direct-to-consumer preorders quickly; while third-party retailers may keep sales open longer, the fastest way to guarantee your delivery is through the direct EXO-6 online store.)
