My thoughts exactly. I think that head sculpt is spot on! The best I've seen outside of very expensive statues.
This one blows me away like Worf blew the dish
Based on concept art, so the helmet is not the final design, but I'll see what I can do with expanding the black parts a bit. So happy that the rifle has good colors and fits in his hand.
It's not just the wear, examine the phaser rife from the film vs. the toy -- many distinct differences.
Those Kelvin Hiya figures were definitely a bust, but did that stop me from preordering SNW Pike?
I do have hopes for their Enterprise.
That was also from the suit concept drawing, IIRC
FC Worf fits the Defiant chair better than Sisko. The Regent can also sit in it and look great 
Worf: I'm in command!
Sisko: Out of the chair!
Regent: Yes, make room for me!
I took Michael's advice:
My first full gadget repaints! Inserts of the original colors are from mindless shelf indulgence (https://www.mindlessshelfindulgence.com/star-trek-action-figure-archive/), cause I of course forgot to take pics before.
Metallic silver is the most useful color, it works great on any Starfleet equipment and blade weapons
The worst one was Janeway's laptop, it just wouldn't cover it well. Her purple phaser and PADD were less of a problem. The blue and black rifles and orange knives look so much better now

Saw a new art supply store, checked it out, and went home with 3 different metallic silver markers.I recommend getting acrylic markers like POSCA or MOLOTOW. They come in a variety of colors and their whole selling point is that they’ll hold on (almost) every kind of surface. Sharpies are alcohol based markers and are just not ideal for painting on plastic. At least in my experience with art supplies.

It was always such a novelty when a character had silver accessories! They got a bit better towards the end of the range.
I think the Voyager line was the nadir, because even the phasers started being solid purple or blue. The TNG and DS9 lines always had the silver phasers with orange beams.
