No sooner was Star Trek: The Motion Picture‘s Admiral Kirk available for pre-order was he sold out. I’d been keeping my eye on EXO-6’s site all launch day, and somehow, between refreshes, James T. Kirk in his ’70s spaceware came and went. If Kirk were still available, he would have cost $175 plus $25 in shipping.
The 1:6 scale version of Admiral Kirk was noticeably light on accessories. The figure only came with his accurately tailored Starfleet Admiral’s uniform, badge, boots, and bio-monitor. There’s no doubt that the artists at EXO-6 got this depiction of Kirk just as right as when he ventured on his first cinematic journey abroad, the newly refitted Enterprise 1701-A.
Thankfully, EXO-6 included a screen-accurate 1:1 delta badge from Fansets to compensate for the lack of phasers and other Star Trek technology. If Kirk again comes up for pre-order, we’ll update you here at Clownfish TV.
Now The Captain that started it all makes his first appearance as an EXO-6 Museum Quality 1/6 scale collectible figure from EXO-6. Depicted in his formal Admiral’s uniform, we see Kirk in his first appearance in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, recreating the look he had as he beheld his true love, the Enterprise, in all her refitted beauty.
- Fully Articulated Body: More than 30 points of articulation allow the figure to be displayed in multiple dynamic poses, approximately 30 cm tall.
- Realistic Portrait: Kirk’s deep affection for the Enterprise is evident on the face of this figure. Lovingly rendered by a top artist, this excellent likeness of William Shatner as Kirk is specially hand-painted.
- Starfleet Formal Admiral’s Uniform: Meticulously researched, this duty uniform matches the pattern and color of the original costume recreated in 1:6 scale. Debated for years, the color of this film costume comes as close as possible to the actual set used colors that appeared on screen as grey or green, depending on the lighting in the scene. An authentically scaled bio-monitor is permanently affixed to the belt area.
- Boots: Soft plastic boots sculpted to match the cut and style of the original movie footwear.
- Display Base: A hexagonal display base will provide additional support for the figure.
