By now I've seen pics of this figure from every conceivable angle and lighting condition and my opinion hasn't been swayed in the slightest...this is one of the worst likenesses of any licensed toy in recent memory.

It's like their internet was down that day and they couldn't Google reference photos so they just sculpted some random white guy in the office and hoped no one would notice. It's embarrassingly bad.

*EDIT* I just figured it out! Mezco apparently thinks that Kirk was played by Nathan Fillion! They actually pretty much nailed HIS likeness, IMO.

You're welcome to your opinion. But there's no mistaking who this is supposed to be:

Is it perfect? Not by any means, but it's a better Kirk than just about anything released in the 6" scale. And to call it one of the worst likenesses ever is a little overly hyperbolic. We've gotten far worse from far more expensive. You could always opt for the QMx Kirk, though that will be about triple the price.
