NEW PRODUCT: EXO-6 1/6 Star Trek Deep Space Nine QUARK

EXO-6 1/6 Star Trek Deep Space Nine QUARK

"Respect is good, but latinum's better."

Although first seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, the alien Ferengi didn’t really become important to the Star Trek universe until Star Trek: Deep Space Nine introduced the bar owner and businessman, Quark. Quark was constantly working at odds to Constable Odo and Commander Kira, but over the course of the series he became essential to the operation of Deep Space 9 and a friend to all. Seemingly only concerned with profit and the acquisition of “gold-pressed latinum” Quark became a fully fleshed out and beloved character, thanks to the performance of Armin Shimerman.
The latest in the EXO-6 “Out of this World” alien collection of one sixth scale museum quality figures is Quark as seen in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.  Quark is wearing one of his multi-colored suits which was recreated and scaled down by the expert tailors at EXO-6.  He comes with his gold-pressed latinum, the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition book and a Ferengi PADD.
 This 1:6-scale figure re-creates this iconic character in exquisite 1:6 detail. Standing approximately 11 inches tall, no detail was spared in reproducing his outfit and accessories as authentically as possible. The original portrait of Armin Shimerman as Quark is expertly sculpted with an accurate likeness to the actor in full make-up.
 
The EXO-6 Quark 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 28 cm tall.
  
• Realistic Portrait: The portrait sculpt of Armin Shimerman as Quark is beautifully sculpted based on the make-up from the series. It is specially hand-painted.
  
• Ferengi suit: This multi-color suit was a popular outfit for Quark on Deep Space Nine and was also featured in the pilot for Voyager and his appearance in Lower Decks.
  
• Boots: His boots are sculpted to match the style of the original footwear.
  
• Ferengi PADD: Quark’s Personal Access Display Device in the Ferengi style.
  
• Gold-pressed Latinum: Quark’s favorite substance – included are 3 bars of Gold-pressed latinum in varying sizes.
  
• Book of Acquisition: The Rules of Acquisition are the Ferengi bible, and this 1/6 scale book has been created based on the actual prop as seen in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
  
• Display Base: A hexagonal display base will provide additional support for the figure.

Never got too heavy into DS9, and there are already WAY too many ST figures I want more, so I’m afraid I’ll have to pass.

I vaguely remember anything from this show, but I do recall him, and I think they captured his appearance very well.

Oh, sweet childhood memories. Unfortunately headsculpt is odd not resembling Quark at all.

I'm veeery impressed. He looks fabulous! I little too much so, because I don't remember him looking so fabulous. His face is too friendly. In some shots he looks like his gentle soul of a brother(?) got merged in. I did enjoy the show a lot due to its politics, but lost track when I couldn't watch it every week. Too much happening. I never really cared much for any of the crew members though. Not enough to put them on my shelf.

I liked DS9 very much. Actually, it was one of the Star Trek franchise series that I loved the most. I grew up reading the books, next to watching the series.
And my favorite character was indeed Quark. I loved his bickering with Odo. The way, against all odds and even himself, that he would many times be the one saving the day.
This figure is amazing. Very well done. Although it seems Quark went to the dentist and then to the Spa. He looks very fresh and his teeth were supposed to be, aesthetically (to ferengi people) crooked. And he's too happy.
Other than that, it's spot on!
