Well, I’ll be the first to respond. Thanks for the excellent review, and for your enthusiasm, Michael. She does look great. Looking forward to getting mine (she shipped out yesterday fro Exo-6). This was the Star Trek series I managed to get my wife to watch and she loved it, so to be able to get (hopefully) the entire crew main crew is exciting. I was actually able to snag 2 (one from Exo, and eventually one from Timewalker) in case something were to happen to the first.

Thanks for the review, Michael. And thanks, Mark, for posting the link. Seems very reasonable, and the product looks excellent. The blonde is a challenge, and perhaps a tad too metallic, but still works beautifully. There is a lot of truth in what you have been saying about getting the features right, and I think this works better than Janeway -- perhaps the latter's features were not off, but she looks more like a toy. I wish TBLeague would create more realistic bodies like these. I haven't watched the series but yes, even I recognize her.

Ahh, Voyager is the favourite ST in our house and it’s fantastic that it’s getting a good run of figures. I was a bit torn with these, so much is good but I find the face sculpts a little too off, sadly. Can see the sculpting has really paid attention to individual facial features, but as a whole, it doesn’t quite gel for me. Still a cracking version of a cracking character; Voyager really took off properly when she arrived!

I'm not feeling it. The hair looks too big, and the face seems weird too. It doesn't do justice to Jeri Ryan at all. Even the cloth comes across as low quality. I'm really not a fan of most of EXO-6's body of work, they make figures that are in the low end quality wise, but with hi-end price tags.

Actually that's a good thing, makes me not want to order any of their Star Trek figures, despite being a huge Star Trek fan. The only one I ordered is the Motion Picture Kirk, at least that has a more accurate head sculpt, even if the uniform is the same cheap looking material. It seems like really rough linen to me.

I think her make-up might have been a tad more expressive, but I do think the likeness is there.

Here’s an interesting video about working with the Seven figure (and a good look at the body NSFW?).
