I'm impressed with the photos. The detail is incredible even down to the folds in the shirt.

Not sure if I'm ready to go down this financial commitment path just quite yet. My collection is modest and primarily consisting of items gifted to me by family and friends. My library on the other hand has become quite extensive and it's because of my love of the literary side of Star Trek that I now want to concentrate on memorabilia.

That's why blogs such as yours help me to become a better collector. As with any genre, if you're an avid collector you will spend good money for good products. Thanks for the review and I will give the statue some consideration now that I know it may be worth the price.

I, too, am very pleased with the statue. I have one an Exclusive version (it was the same price as the Regular version so it really was a no-brainer which to pre-order).

The first thing that struck me is the weight of this thing: it feels like it's carved out of solid stone!

I agree that the likeness could have been better, but it is the best one to date.

The paint work is impeccable! But two details bother me:

1) The glossy clothes should have been a matte finish. Even the skin on the face should have been a little less glossy (maybe the Bridge air conditioning had malfunctioned!).

2) Kirk's hair looks too greenish. Maybe they were going for a blonde look, but in any case it really looks off.

Other than those little finish details and the mediocre Kirk-likeness this is an exceptional piece! I do not regret my purchase.

Now, onward "in search of Spock"?!

Now that I think about it, Kirk kind of looks like he's got a Charlie X making-somebody-go-away expression.

They shouldn't have laughed at him. He told them not to laugh at him.

Kirk looks almost crossed-eyed in his intensity, really angry. The kinda extreme expression hurts the facial features, I think... but overall it really is good.

The body language of the pose is actually amazingly Shatner-esque, but you're right - the face just isn't quite there. Too much cro-magnon forehead, but I've definitely seen worse.
