Don't they have Quality Control at these doll factories? I understand that Alex Ross is pretty good for getting likenesses down. Maybe if they put him on the payroll?

Nice to see they know their characters. Note the caption on this.
The guy who created the awful "Family Guy" is behind that?!
(Actually no, the store's creator is Todd and https://mcfarlane.com/info/company-profile/ suggests they deal with only premiere, exclusive content. Only they used to get the names right, how can they screw up a 30 year old show that isn't exactly arcane?
Unfortunately, the Picard figure does not have the "kung-fu" grip he needs to pull down his shirt.
No, the awful Family Guy figures are by Mezco:

ETA: Apologies for posting a hotlink to an image in my original post. I honestly forgot about the rule. Won't happen from now on.

So...worth it?
Can these be found in stores?

Initially, McFarlane Toys announced they were doing a Michael Burnham and a "Discovery" Klingon first, but these were shunted down the line by Kirk and Picard. Stores like Kirk and Picard. The cardbacks suggest that Burnham and Spock will be the next two figures.
Here are my recent purchases. I customised one Kirk as an Andorian.

I happen to like action figures. "They" are making what they think/know will sell. So what "upscale items" do you covet and how much profit can be made by selling them?
Mego. And Mego has been resurrected; currently available at US Target stores. Rereleases of the DST retro-Mego Chekov, Sulu, Spock, Mirror Kirk, Mirror Spock and Gorn are now available on Mego cards. Kirk and the Romulan Commander are due soon.

I've still got the playmates figures from the nineties and especially the species 8472 model which is highly collectable! 
My old mate Scunner was after it and I had to tell him it was worth a mint five years ago! Don't know how he would have paid me for it considering he's as poor as a beggar and his only currency is the millions of flies that exist in his flat?

I appreciate the look they're going for, but the whole Picard holding a phaser thing irritates me. Movie Picard maybe, but it feels a little out of character to TV show Picard to see him 'ready for action'. Now, if he were holding a cup of Earl Grey... 
(I always appreciated how the Playmates version of the good captain had his fingers in a pointed motion, ready to give a hearty "Engage!" or "Make It So". Much more in character

He was taken over by the black oil from the X-Files.

I also like action figures.
And if I get an "upscale" item for the home or whatever, you can be sure that it will have absolutely nothing to do with pop culture!

You don't have to use the phaser. His other accessory is the flute he learned to play as Kamin in "The Inner Light". And there are alternate hands.
Alex Ross is a brilliant illustrator and painter. He is not a sculptor. The action figures and collectible statues based on his work are typically sculpted by others.
Are these online exclusive?
