    New Picard and Data pics from FB

    Very different from protos, these are billed as pre-production examples

      Those production samples are quite a step down from the prototypes. This is what they're asking people to pay for up front?

      Wow.

        I think the different camera angles make the Picard look more off than it probably is. The color diff on Data is pretty striking, tho. I see the prototype in the sculpt but the colors make it feel very different. Maybe it is the eyes?

          Data reminds me of the green/blue skin Galoob figure.

            The uniform fits better, but I am really not fond of the printed uniform.

              Me neither. I continue to be baffled by Mego's design choices with their new figures. They are so inconsistent from one figure to the next.
              Compare these with the WOK figures and they look like two different companies produced them.

                  Considering the original Trek crew figures had sticker logos, I can live with the pre-printed.

                    I do like the proto suits, but God they are hard to make. I am OK with the silkscreen, both for the overall outfit and the emblems. If they'd gone with a sticker I am sure some people would not have liked that. The plastic version on the prototype is nice,but there's still the production cost and issue of attaching it consistently and reliably. Diamond Cap A sticker anyone?

                      The figures shown on Card look like they need to do the Picard Maneuver, a lot. I am not sure I will love the silk screened uniforms... I guess there is a lot of sewing though. They will look good on my bbt customs

                        The silk screened isn't as fancy as the sewn but it's more retro. They look fine.
                        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                            The silk screened uniform is okay. But unless it's the lighting, Data needs to have his skin color fixed.

                              Those head sculpts are VERY good.
