I remember when I got my Picard/Locutus/Gowron/Geordi figs they were on deep deep deep discount and were going in the mid twenties then. Not cheap, but they are very nice figs, well sculpted, great detail.

I love the detail that GEOMetric sculpted on Geordi's tricorder and his visor.

One of the LHS had it in stock for a long time, but it was expensive. They finally dropped it way down to get rid of it. I got it.

And that's a cool thing when you can get something CHEEP.

I want it! I have always wantedt this fig to go with my other Geometric vinyls. How was the assembly? any problem points?
On your next fig, try adding a drop of either blue or green to your flesh paint, it sets "off" the skintone a bit and makes it looks "less human" .
I think you did a great job capturing Spock's eyes, which I know are not the easiest thing to do.
Great job! Im looking forward to more

The fit was great. Its only 4 parts, and it actually sat on my workbench for over a month, fully assembled, without a drop of glue. The fit was that precise. As for the skin tone, I was trying for more of an actual Nimoy look rather than a correct vulcan look. Didnt want to put up with the "your skin looks green. He looks sick to me. why did you do that. etc etc" comments.

Very nice. I like it. It looks like it builds up nice. The only thing I noticed is the flesh could have a bit bit of a green tinge to it. He is Vulcan after all.

This is the Geometric kit. Its Ambassador Spock from his appearance[s] in Star Trek: TNG. this was my first figure [aside from quick 1/35 ones]. Its painted using enamels, acrylics, and oils [face]. Comments and critiques welcome.
