New Khan is actually really accurate (I painted the console)


New Spock is fine, the body is good, but the face is not. Everyone found the gloves way too big, but comparing them to the real ones, they're not that much bigger.


Saru is easily the best Disco figure (and character)


New Riker was also criticized a lot, but his face might be more accurate than the old PM one. He can finally do the Riker leg maneuver well, his clothes are intact, I do like him.
 
The new figures weren't bad - as you say, Khan was excellent, and the Disco figures were very good too.

Kirk, Spock and the TNG boys were just very soft face sculpts. Picard was probably the best.

Overall I much preferred the more caricatured style of the 1990s line. It works better at smaller scales. I think they should have tried to get closer to that style with the 2022 wave, as the new figures aren't really close enough to the older ones to look good on the shelf together.
 
I don’t mind the visual style much. Like putting a Lower Decks character besides a TNG one. For me it’s more important figures have the same scale.
