- We dive into the color theory of Star Trek uniforms and cut-and-sew with Exo-6 founder and director Schubert Tam as he brings prototypes of sixth-scale Star Trek figures to our studio. It's a chance to see the difference between screen and set-accurate fabric color dyes side-by-side, and our first look at the finely tailored recreations of costumes from The Wrath of Khan!

His attention to detail is so intense! I’m at best a casual Trek fan but every bit of these videos has been fascinating to me as an artist and modeler.
I never realized there was that much difference in the colors of the uniforms that they were wearing. This man has a great eye for detail and I mean detail. This was an excellent video, I actually learned something this time LOL I always learn something from this channel. Y'all have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!
I am UNREASONABLY excited to see that Quark is being prototyped and must have that when it goes for sale. DS9 is so unfortunately the forgotten series of Trek, it gets so little attention from any other canon Trek series or movies, but it's so damn good. Seeing Sisko last time was amazing, and Quark is such a great character that will be a great addition to the line too. DABO!
The Ferengi businessman suits are a marvel of tailoring. Yes, they were LOUD as all-get-out, but whoever did their construction was a real pro.
Nature decays, but Latinum lasts forever.
(I mean, for the series. This Quark is great too.)
DS9 Worf alone should be worth it in my opinion... He finally gets a sense of humor, how could anyone miss it!
I would love to see a Gul Dukat as my unloved or unlikely entry into the collection.
But yes, the Quark is mint, and deserves the early release.
@@CmdrCorn Dukat would be fantastic, they're not doing a lot of villains yet and he was DS9's best. Weyoun would be fantastic too, I mean Jeffery Combs has been such a Trek staple he deserves one!
Man. This guys passion for Star Trek and 1/6th figures is unparalleled. Super impressed
Grown man with dolls.
@@alwayscensored6871 And?
@@jedifyfe Grown men with obsessive attention to detail. That makes them Master Craftsmen. I respect all crafts at that level.
Many of the faces are uncannily accurate! They're all good, of course. The tailoring, OMG!
These are amazing! Personally, I’ll go for the “on set” colors, because I can see the “on screen” colors anytime I want, but I’d like to be able to see the “on set” colors too.
Exquisite! I’m so impressed with the tiny seams on the costumes and curious if a special sewing machine or modifications are used to achieve that fine detail
yes, they have specially made sewing machines that are very small, the same ones they use to make doll clothes. Your standard household sewing machine wont make stitches that small per inch :)
Uhm … what dolls are you referring to? It can’t be Barbie because my vintage Singer 99 domestic sewing machine can make a much finer seam than what I see in mass manufactured Barbie clothes. They may very well have special machines but the quality they are achieving is crap compared to this.
25:16 Archer looks fantastic ❤
Shoutout to Captain Archer! If any fans havent bothered with Enterprise, I understand. However the deeper you get into it, the better the characters get, and the more it starts to align with true Star Trek canon. Give it a chance.
I'm watching it for the first time right now and can't wait to buy Archer!
Enterprise takes a bit to get going, but then it really becomes great. And compared to modern Trek, it's fits perfectly alongside the older series.
Archer is the only one I want from Enterprise...if they come out with Dr. Crusher I will also buy her....the others....I can do without
His passion and knowledge is so infectious!!
It's mind boggling how much work he and his team put into those.
I really appreciate watching this type of content. It makes me appreciate something from a different perspective that I had not previously considered.
The attention to detail on these figures honors the legacy of Star Trek!
I have never been as excited or anxious for 1/6 scale figures until EXO-6 has started getting serious about Star Trek.
Thank you very much!
I appreciate the attention to detail, but I've got to go with "set accurate". It just looks better to my eyes.
Well, set accurate would then look different to what youre seeing right now, because you're seeing it through the screen! Hahah.
@@explodingshroom Bingo! Plus, calibration would be required on both the filming and viewing sides of things.
I have to go with Set Colors, always. Nanjin goes so deep with these and does so much painstaking research that it would feel wrong to ultimately go with something inaccurate to the actual props (but I understand and appreciate why he would want to appeal to those consumers, as well). Best of Both Worlds, indeed. I love Captain Tam's commitment to this line and will happily continue to support EXO-6!
These are really cool. Back in the early 90’s I was a big collector of the Playmates line of Star Trek figures so even though these are very different they really hit my nostalgia for this type of collectible.
The tailoring and attention to detail is amazing. For them to have different bodies and separate tailoring for different characters even though they have the same costume design is an amazing attention to detail. You can really tell he’s passionate about this line!
I don't know. I think the resemblance is rather striking. Wouldn't you agree, Number One?
I'm curious which references he used for the TNG set accurate colours. They varied quite a bit over the run of the series.
I've heard of the uniform colors being different from set to screen, but to see them side by side is fantastic. I love the darker, muted set colors, makes it look more 'professional', and those fabric details on the TOS set accurate uniforms is amazing - it really looks like that futuristic, advanced fabric mentioned in the show. But my favorites have to be the TWOK uniforms- I love all the little bits and details and color accents.
The quality and accuracy is insane. I love this guy!
Never would have thought there was so much interest in the dies and color variations. Thanks for the insight.
So pumped for these. Im hardly passing on any of them. 😂
The TNG colors were interestng because when we got the Dominion war uniforms, and when you look at Riker's uniform in S3 of Picard, you can see how much darker the colors are compared to TNG, at least as we saw TNG on screen. But in fact, the Picard and war uniforms were really well made because they matched the on-set colors and at the same time allowed us to see those on-set colors! To the eyes of everyone on set, the Dominion war collars and under shirts were the same colors they had always been, yet many fans were quick to point out they looked darker than TNG.
We need more for Deep space Nine. They never get the love that the others get and that too me was the best show!
As a collector of sci-fi and horror figures, and growing up watching the shows.. these are jaw-droppingly awesome. I doubt I could afford them, and I would have to have one of each character. But wow, these are amazing.
picard in jacket looks cuddly lol amazing models !
These figures are so amazing, I want them all lol
I can imagina all the man hours that went into developing them and then the time it takes to actually manufacture them
Love these videos
I have the first five releases (Mirror Spock actually arrived today). Absolutely love this line & Nanjin's passion. I hopefully plan to get as many as possible.
Amazing products, great detail, and apparent quality. It must be difficult to sculpt the heads, not to forget that they must license the use of the likeness of the characters. The range of characters is astounding. I doubt I could afford one, would be hard to chose a favorite.
EXO-6 attention to detail is amazing! I’m buying everything they release.
This is the best ever! I mean I probably would try to buy certain figures, just for the sake of the details! As for the colors, I actually like the set accurate colors, because they look less cartoonish. Very well done! Will we see a Wesley Crusher?
The Quark figure is so impressive to me. Th jacket looks so good.
I have zero nostalgia for TOS or TNG, and the set-accurate colors are GORGEOUS to me, especially that Science Teal!
I'd Definitely like to See A V Alien Visitors Line 1/6 Scale figure's Line The Leader, Diana, The Commander, Visitors Trooper, Human Head Sculpts and the Battle Damaged Masks Reptilian Head Sculpts even Rolling eye's would be incredible to bring Characters to life Even more. Plus
Main Characters of Human Rebals resistance Mike Donovan, Julliet Parris, Hammer Tyler, Rebals...
Q in captain outfit complete with the mariachi band and space ladies. That'd be insanely tempting to buy lol
That Archer looks awesome! 🤩
Excellent to see Exo-6 really delve into the Star Trek figures! Such an unexplored series for 1/6 figures. I can’t wait to see all of these done up. Really cool to see Seven of Nine and locutus with their borg alcoves. All I would say is the Seven of Nine still needs more work in the head sculpt & I hope they don’t do a half neck like that.
Detail is amazing and tested would make uniforms on the show.
Very awesome.
If i get minimized to that size, i would love to wear that tiny jacket, soo cool! 💓
I have to say, I like the set accurate uniforms.
I wouldn't mind buying any of those including any of those from his website and the prices are reasonable considering the detail.
Is there a time estimate when these all go into production? There are only a couple on the web site.
Love it. Im in deep with this just take my money now.
All the screen accurate colors make me think if daylight filming on away teams.
I almost feel like they should split the difference between the set and screen colors. The set colors look better to me, it just goes to show that 'screen accurate' isn't always what it's cracked up to be. The uniforms all look awesome though, my favorites are the Wrath of Khan ones.
The thing with rooted hair is you have to put some kind of product in it to get it to hold the style. I have many years of experience with doll hair, and for a style that I want to look nice on a shelf for many years, I will essentially 'sculpt' the hair while it is saturated with liquid hair spray. When the hair spray dries, the hair appears to have weight, the flyaways are tame, and the bulky look that you sometimes get with rooted hair is much diminished. How do I get a job as a doll hair stylist? 😆
Really cool figures. There's something about the likeness of Jonathan Frakes that doesn't sit well with me. Something is making my brain do the dragging-needle-across-record-scratch-sound. Edit: Ditto with the Patrick Stewart. He looks like a 70s actor I can't remember the name of at the moment. If I remember, I'll edit this again.
Yeah im not digging those 2 either. Hopefully the final productions are better.
There is a detail on Picard at 10:02 and he looks spot on . From afar he looks to me strange as well who knows why. And i agree on Riker , he does look nothing like Jonathan Frakes not even close. The QMX prototype was better . It was made under mr. Tams supervision too and in my opinion it was more Riker than this new prototype .
Nose is too wide on Picard imo
Set Accurate every time.
The new Picard head sculpt is a big improvement. I must get that Kirk and Spock TWOK figures.
Where can I find that new Picard
Those Spock figures are mint
"Shut up and take my money now!" - is what I'd say if I could afford every figure. These are amazeballs!!
This is so nerdy but I love it.
this is an overthought for color grading, but crazy to see it being rectified by hand.
24:51 Definitely needs to increase the size of Seven's ahem...Bussard Collectors!!!🤣😅😂
And to make matters more confusing for us Europeans, there also was the difference between the colours from the NTSC ("never the same color" :-D) versus PAL - once again, different tones/hues. At conventions, especially TNG's blue/teal uniforms were quite controversial. Some uniforms were more on the blue side, while others tended more to a greenish tone, turning blue into teal. Subtle, but very visible side by side. In the PAL version, we definitely saw a more blueish tone, so if you wore the teal version, you could bet to be pointed out and asked about it at some point. Not that I'm such a nerd that I'd ever have done something silly like that... ;-)
I hope to they put some highlights and 2 types of color in his Kirks hair and not just one basic color in his hair. Kirk's hair was dark in some areas and light brown or reddish brown in some scenes due to lighting and shadows. The figures are incredibly beautiful 😍
Set colour all the way!
Would love to see a data and a lore and even a B4
It is odd seeing Riker's figure without one leg up.
Does Picard wear different trousers with his sweater/jacket uniform?
Yet they didn’t talk about Kirk TOS tunic looking gold but was really green like his wraparound and dress uniform.
I probably would have bought a Q if they weren't sold out. So awesome.
Watching youtube clips and the Darker Maroon color looks more Screen accurate not the lighter red for TNG Uniforms. same goes for Tan color looks right as darker Tan color. Over all these look amazing. Hopefully he can Complete whole team for each series.
Ar3 these available at Target?
I want to take the Ryker and make him sit down. 🤣
Curious. Because I distinctly remember watching TNG on TV and the costumes being closer to the "set-accurate", than it was to the "screen-accurate" one.
I wonder how much that’s because we’re watching this video through a screen, though. Since, in theory, set-accurate + camera = screen-accurate. Obviously this wasn’t shot on film… but in the video he even calls out that it looks different in the monitors than to their eyes.
@@wkirby2574 I wonder if it has to do how tv's are (now) color calibrated. The big tv i used to watch it on was pretty standard. Could have been the (few) color settings that were on it were set badly.
@@wkirby2574 This is what I was going to say
Why'd they pull off Georgiou's head? LMAO!
I had no idea Geordi was only as tall as a Ferengi
If you go back and look at Spook and the Doctor there was a different in their tops
We need a Chancellor Gowron for the ol' crazy eyes.
Gotta love the Shining maze in the space room. the moon doesn't exist!
Nice
man i hope they bring out a dukat
Can't wait for the Aliens from Startrek the original Series .
Vena from the cage ,Andrea from what are little girls made of .Shahna from gamesters of Triskelion. Losira Spock's brain. ,Marta and Miramanee.
Now that's a collection .
9:06 - Did Norm say "trials and tribble-ations?"
Nicole deBoer / Ezri Dax - DS9 figure please!! ❤️🙏
Thank you, Norman. I looked less like a grandpa 😊
Definitely set-accurate.
1/6 is not about being prop accurate, it's about being accurate to what you see on screen
What about Chief Obrian? He's the best ☺
I wonder when Star Trek will realize putting armor on their characters might be more protective than a red shirt lmao
Didn't work for Stormtroopers..😂
Why no O'brien? He was in TNG and DS9!
Set-accurate Geordi should have LeVar's normal human eye color. 😉
Piękne figurki, :)
The ones in the center look like Robot Chicken.
Set accurate color looks better to me.
Beautiful work, oh to be a poor man in this decade is painful, so many amazing film figures coming out.
To take these models to the next level someone needs to invent some type of super micro stitching, and use slightly thinner fabric. I also think that someone needs to find a way to make it less shiny so the skin, and hair look more realistic. I’m just nitpicking, and I still think these figurines are amazing 👍
Shadows aren't black. But cool video!

Pardon, mais il manque des costumes essentiels : les tenues portées par l'éuipage de "l'Enterprise" du premier film de Robert Wise de 1979, qui a mon sens étaient une vraie réussite. Les tenues rouges des films 2,3,4,5 et 6 étaient laides et ont jetés la confusion.

Why does this have 65 dislikes vs 144 likes? WTF?
How do you see # dislikes? They disabled that feature a while ago -- because snowflakes.
I prefer set accurate.
All the darker ones look better.
But 200.00 a piece though.
They kinda look not good? The clothes are thick like with dolls. Some faces look decent while others are what i'd expect from Barbie. Now if the price was lower it'd be totally fine. But it's the same price category as Hot Toys. And that is just wrong.
Are you playing with your dolls again?
