Had to make a Kirk to go with the Spock.

These are cool in a comicbook/cartoon way, but they need the rank stripes on the bottom of their sleeves.

BTW- if you need Phasers to arm them with, hit up my Swap Shop :)

The work is clean, but I don't think I share the Vision... I can't help but think of the "Super Buff" POTF II figures when looking at these too... Even for the new Trek films they just seem a little too beefy.

Also the Extreme "V" of their torso directs my eyes right to the waist...and I'm not sure what the shirt/pant joint is doing...are they wearing a jumper? shirts tucked into pants? Anything other than Trek I'd suggest a belt...I'm not sure what to do here...but it bothers me.

I was just wondering if anyone was trying to make some Trek customs. I was also thinking of trying some but I'm too behind on my other customs. I would have used some modern Joe bodies instead.
yes way too buff!
what bodies are you using?

It's too bad Hasbro didn't make any figures for the movie. I guess they didn't want them to compete with the Star Wars line.

Nope, shirts stop at the waist just like the uniforms, sculpt line just not as visible in pics. All my customs are to Marvel U scale so these are Doc Strange torsos so not so buff in the scale of my line.

These are great Like the take on them both. Should Spok be taller than Kirk?

A great complement to our Spock, though I agree that the latter should probably be slightly taller than Kirk.

The buffness of the torsos don't bother me at all. The arms look a little exaggerated in thickness/ripped news, but if all of your figures are that way it makes sense in context.

That said, since you aren't going for total accuracy/realism, I'd suggest giving them belts to address the shirt/pant transition Nova mentioned.
