Always buddy!! Thanks for the great work! Helps to have a critical yet hopefully constructive take on the figures!

Nice video, you have the right demeanor for this kind of stuff and your Star Trek observations are spot on. I found this video totally at random and liked this it enough to visit the sponsors and donated to St. Jude so I hope you get credit for that with YT ads. Good luck to you and pursue your passion, especially when it's Star Trek! This new subscriber looks forward to the next video 👍

Oh wow what a wonderful compliment! So kind of you to donate as well! I'm not sure the channel is credited for that but even still, incredibly generous! Lots more content to come! Thank you again for the kind words and supporting the show!

Thanks for continuing to cover Exo 6 news and releases. There really isn't much social media attention paid to the line which is unfortunate. Like a lot of folks are saying, for me it's a bit of an "in for a penny in for a pound" situation where I don't like the weird open mouth sculpt on Neelix but I have every Exo 6 release so far, so I'm not going to stop now. One point you made that I thought was particularly interesting was the fact that we get a lot of "there will be another updated sculpt" messaging but I agree that over all the releases... It's been hard to see much change between the promo photos and the final products. I do think it's definitely admirable that a high end sixth scale Star Trek line has gone this far and that we're getting secondary and even tertiary figures like Neelix.

Well said on all thoughts good sir and thanks for always tuning into the show! Makes them worth doing! I don't love that they are asking us for pre order money before we even know what a final will look like, but now that they've said they will update it they better!! Thanks again for the show support!

Hi Ben, ordered this to complete my Voyager crew! Pleased to have him, but obviously not perfect!

I think it’s the tongue that throws it off. On Instagram exo commented saying the sculpt had been revisited since the promo pics were taken so not sure what that means but maybe they made it better?

Apparently this is still not the final! But that's a good thing because either feel it could use work still. Just unfortunately they still want our pre order money before we know forsure!

I'm not loving the design. I want to pick it up to Complete my Voyager line but I'm not sure if I want to spend the money on something I don't love. Loving the new intro!

If you don't love it don't do it!! Save the coin for something that hits you in the feels more! Glad you liked the intro!!

Man... I'm really torn on this. Hate the character, love the actor. Not in love with the figure, but want to complete my Voyager crew.... ugh. At least we can get some unique accessories I guess. And visually he will certainly distinguish himself amongst the crew.

He definitely would but I'd save the money if you don't love the character! There will be many more to come that will fill the collection nicely! But if you wait and it's still burning you up, neelix is a fun one to have!

Just wondering which leds you used for you closet. Want to do the same thing but only see one color leds strips and many kinds but not by the top brands so bit unsure.

Nice thanks. Right now I put a Govee old 5m light strip in the rear of a Billy just as your old setup but that doesn't display, just creates silhouettes (although it has segmented lightning). I didn't know Hue had this, perfect! :)@@TheBenThomasShow

hhmmm watched it, you run them through. That might be an option, but my space is 160cm wide so need to cut them I guess. Or keep the existing 60cm one with the Govee, shuffle it and buy 1m. 58 a piece I need 6, pricy haha. O well, first world problems. @@TheBenThomasShow

I think Neelix is much stronger than Harry Kim, Tom Paris, and B'elanna - though they were pretty weak, so that is damning it with faint praise. But I need to finish my Voyage line, so I have to get him. And then I'm going to get MUCH more selective on my EXO-6 orders.

Makes sense good sir! I like belanna but we're def not impressed with the majority of the others tuvok was solid. Put him with neelix on the transporter pads and hope for a tuvix! Thanks for watching ha

@@TheBenThomasShow true. But then again they’ve done rereleases of other characters and it’s not like they announce new characters every week. Guess I’ll just have to wait and see🤞

Neither did Kes @loved the mouth or anything else about Neelix. A dude perpetually stuck in the friend zone smh. Fig looks good to me but pass for moi. I'd argue Seven of Nine is the strongest of the Voyager line buuuut I never saw Tuvok in person so I will defer accordingly. Thanx for vid! #bringusworf!

Hah that would be awesome

They've done a good job with the Star Trek franchise, but I guess it was bound to happen....this is awful, in my magnanimously modest opinion. If they'd model it with the mouth closed, it would make a world of difference. Also, the expression around the eyes seems too blank for Neelix. Isn't it missing the small split in his nose, too? That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it...until I change my mind. Thanks for another enjoyable episode of the Ben Thomas Show.

Heck ya buddy also some great notes from you! Thanks for tuning in as always

Appreciate the review of the figure but.....Neelix was the worst character of Voyager and had some really bad plot lines devotes to him. Thank gawd Kes was written out because those two had zero chemistry.......and in came the magnificent 7 of 9 and her catsuit.

@TheBenThomasShow

Yes love 7 of 9s inclusion hah totally agree!! I still liked neelix alot but for the comedic moments or the coffee, or even the tuvix episode hah but he was definitely The worst of the lot hah thanks for watching and supporting the channel

To be fair I was never going to buy this figure... He's the Jar Jar Binks of the Star Trek Universe IMO. Hated his character. And the price they are asking??!! Completely illogical.
