All Characters are recognizable except for Kirk

Maybe it is just me but - does anyone else find Kirk's animated image to be way less of a true resemblance to his real like counterpart compared to the great job done on EVERY other character's image?

To me the most important image shld be the star - Captain Kirk (William Shatner)-yet I don't see much resemblance at all. I think it is the eyebrows that are ruining it the most (by far the worst done feature on animated Kirk) but also his facial shape/jawline. Anyone else think so?

I always thought it was a pretty good representation, especially Shatner of that era.

Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!

It did tend to reflect Shatner's 70s appearance more than his 60s appearance.

I thought all of the character models were excellent and captured their respective actors; including Shatner. They could've lightened the hair a touch, but I think otherwise it favors him perfectly.

I can see what the OP is saying. I can certainly recognize him as Kirk, but he does look a tad bit more "cartoonish" than the other characters, who look more like the actors. Actually, I think Uhura looks a little off.
