As much as I am a huge Trekkie, I must give this a bad review. Though it is unrealisticly realistic, the turtleneck collar began to cripple only a week after purchasing. I believe that the other members of the NEMESIS line up by ART ASYLUM is somewhat superior to this toy.

Like the title states, this version of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard is the best to date. I bought one recently and was amazed. The likeness of actor Patrick Stewart is dead-on. The uniform is well done with the stretchable material around the neck. The material is that of the uniforms in the ENTERPRISE line. Art Asylum did a great job on this figure. It comes with a problem though. Mine didn't have the best uniform paint job, and paint is flaking of off the rubbery sections around the waist. Also his Starfleet communicator pin wasn't completely painted. Overall, Art Asylum is making a great product and the best Picard to date, and I am eager to purchase Lt. Cmdr. Data from this line. I can't wait untill Art Asylum makes a complete line of Next Generation figures. Once the make a Cmdr. Riker figure, I'll be happy.

This figure (made by Art Asylum) is one of the best they've made. The likeness to (Jean-Luc Picard) Patrick Steward is outstanding. The uniform was well done (and accurate). As another stated, the paint job almost seems a bit "rushed", and could have been better. The only real complaint that I have is that the hand that the phaser is intended to fit into isn't altogether manufactured correctly to fit the phaser. It takes some work to position it correctly. The only other improvement that Art Asylum can make with respect to their entire line of Star Trek figures, in my opinion, is to add a base that will allow you to easily place the figure out for display (as most collectors buy them for).

All-in-all, though, this item is a good value for the money that I paid.

Art Asylum did a pretty good job when they made Nemesis Picard. It is true that it doesn't look 100% like Patrick Stewart, but it is close enough to tell it is him. Once again, not as detailed as Data when it comes to appearance, but he is stil worth having in your collection.

Truly better than any other action figure of Picard, Art Asylum dropped the ball on this action figure. This is not the quality one has grown to expect from the original bar-raisers in this industry. Yes, his wrists twist, his knees, elbows & ankles bend, his shoulders & hips pivot and his neck turns and bends... but he looks like a cadaver.

Remember the poor mortician job they did on Saddam Hussein's sons for the media? That's what they did w/ Picard... he looks like he died, got embalmed, then put in an upright position for photographs. Does it look like Jean-Luc? Yes! But a dead Jean-Luc! I can't explain it... perhaps it's the fallow look to his cheeks or the way it looks like his shoulders are slumped, but he doesn't have the same look of life as the other Star Trek characters done so artfully by Art Asylum.

Still, it's the best you can get shy of buying Patrick Stewart... and so far, Amazon hasn't been offering the British actor for sale. :-)

I don't know what the the guy above me is talking about! This is the most realistic portrayal of Picard ever! It makes the Playmates toys look like lego figures! This figure won the most realistic award from Toyfare (the leading action figure magazine. Art Asylum has breathed new life into Star Trek from the stale toys that Playmates put out.

Picard and Data are the only figures this new company is putting out. The Data one at least looks like Data in the movies, but this figure doesn't even remotely look like Patrick Stewart. Decent durability and overall joint movement, but I found the Playmates line of Star Trek figures over the years vastly superior to these and I just can't figure out why that contract wasn't renewed.
