Exo-6's portraits are all consistently awful - the portraits are either off (take your pick of any of them from their Missions Chicago exhibit), waxy (looking at you Janeway and Sisko), and simply not worth the asking price. As a lifelong Star Trekker my only ST items are the Eaglemoss' XL Discoprise and McFarlane's Kirk (with Tomy's TOS Enterprise supported, but who knows if it'll get funded by July 11). I can't say Hot Toys would do a better job of it, but their Star Wars figures don't see this level of off-ness.

The quality is getting lower because the price is getting higher. These are now breaking $200.
Eh, that seems alot for what you're getting. |

Have several of Exo 6’s figures and many Hot Toys Star Wars and can say Hot Toy’s likeness isn’t as high as some would tell you, sculpt-wise. Main difference is paint app, Hot Toys appear to have more layers. But I do prefer Exo 6’s tailoring over Hot Toys.

No issues on tailoring or accessories, just sad that ST doesn't get the same love SW does. Even playmates' modelers aren't talented enough to bring figures to market that will appeal to new generations, just older now-adult collectors playing off the retro-style trend and cardbacks (newer series figures and added articulation notwithstanding). I'm dumbfounded that in 2022 I can get a 7" Black Adam figure that looks like Dwayne Johnson, or a 1/6 IM85 with a RDJ portrait that Hot Toys can admit wasn't up to snuff and fixed, but Exo-6 keeps putting out figures that mostly? look like the actors.

This is an awful sculpt? It may not be 100%, but it's definitely 80-90% there. Can't asks for better from the 3/4 angle.
