All I can say is WOW.
Hot Toys has some competition. This figure is INCREDIBLE. The sculpt and paint are amazing. Just as good as HT in my opinion, and I've owned a dozen HT figures.
So what makes these better?
1. The body. Feels much sturdier than a HT body...no fear I was going to snap something with every pose. The joints are tight and the figure holds a pose well. The 11 different hands swap super easily with no fear of breakage.
2. The outfit. Much closer to scale. They used some type of micro textile for the shirt...it matches the screen uniform in color and cut perfectly and instead of the usual iron on, the Starfleet insignia is actually embroidered on the shirt.
3. The boots. No molded plastic here. The boots are real, stitched leather complete with zippers and soles. They are perfectly in scale and look 100% real.
4. The accessories. The communicator, phaser, and tricorder all match the screen used props in both appearance and function. The communicator features a flip up laser etched metal grille that is 18K gold plated. The type 1 phaser is removable from the type 2 phaser. The tricorder opens and features a real leather strap. The accessories all attach magnetically to either the season 1 sash/belt or the pants at the hip.
The bonus accessory for this exclusive version is the Vulcan Lyre. It may actually be made of real wood...I can't tell, so if it's plastic, it's an amazing job. It even has micro strings that are really strung, and they included an extra set of hands designed to play it.
SDCC revealed that many more are coming. McCoy, Sulu, Scotty, Chris Pine Kirk, TWOK Kirk and Spock, Picard, Data, and Worf. These are the Trek figures I've dreamed of owning my entire life.
