Updated: December 14, 2020

Eaglemoss Star Trek Starships are beautiful models, roughly eight to 11 inches, of the entire fleet of Federation vessels spanning film and television.

As with many Eaglemoss models, each ship is released alongside a magazine (issue) which details the history of the source material as well as information on the model’s construction.

Each model is made with a mix of die-cast metal and ABS plastic and is hand-painted with extraordinary detail.

Along with the standard ship models, commemorative vessel dedication plaques are available as shop exclusives and binders are available to compile your magazine collection.

A wall calendar was added to this collection for 2020 as well as several volumes of books. Books included in the series are:

• Star Trek Shipyards: Federation Members
• U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 & 1701-A Illustrated Handbook w/ Collectible
• U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 & 1701-A Illustrated Handbook

The Illustrated Handbook is 160 pages that accounts for every version of the iconic ship from concept through all the films. The Shipyards book is a 160 page volume dedicated to the many members of the Federation.

Eaglemoss has also released a line of Star Trek Busts and Star Trek Discovery Starships.

Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection

Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection, a UK partwork magazine and product line, was published by Eaglemoss Collections. With authorization and licensing from Paramount Consumer Products, it was made available in several countries worldwide.

Every two weeks, an issue was released featuring a hand-painted ABS and die-cast metal-scaled replica of a starship from the Star Trek universe. This collection boasts a remarkable range of ship designs, many of which have been produced as display models for the first time, surpassing all other mass-production manufacturers. Considering the similar follow-up collections like Discovery, Online, Universe, and Lower Decks , Eaglemoss’ Star Trek starship model line became the largest starship model line for any entertainment media franchise ever released by a single company.

Ben Robinson and his team used original CGI studio models for reference when available. As a veteran of Star Trek Fact Files, reference book author, and owner of a Star Trek production art archive, Robinson managed the magazines’ preparation and the selection, commissioning, and decoration of the starship miniatures. John Ainsworth, Hero Collector’s Development Manager, took over many of Robinson’s roles for the production of miniatures after the first 120 issues.

Robinson also co-authored and co-edited the magazine content, which featured a combination of “in-universe” articles and real-world production point-of-view articles about the design and use of the models. He worked alongside Marcus Riley and Mark Wright, both former Fact Files team members, and continued to contribute starship articles, with much of his work eventually appearing in the company’s spin-off reference book series.

Numerous production-used 3D studio models were adapted as miniatures. In addition to studio assets, starship designers such as Rob Bonchune, Adam Buckner, David Carson, Dan Curry, Daren Dochterman, Doug Drexler, Pierre Drolet, John Eaves, Sean Hargreaves, Alex Jaeger, Matt Jefferies, Greg Jein, Joe Jennings, Koji Kuramura, “Mojo” Lebowitz, Jim Martin, Brandon MacDougall, Ed Miarecki, Michael Okuda, Andrew Probert, Mark Rademaker, Alain Rivard, Nilo Rodis-Jamero, Rick Sternbach, Sean Tourangeau, and “Meni” Tsirbas contributed to building or assisting in the creation of these models, supplied original CG files, or shared design background material. Original models were also provided by other former production staff and producers, including David Lombardi and Dave Rossi.

When existing models were not available, unusable, or considered unsuitable, many models were commissioned by the company and entirely recreated by independent contractors, including Bonchune, Lebowitz, Fabio Passaro’s Meshweaver Productions, and Ed Giddings of Cgreactor.

These contractors modified, retexturized, and converted the models into CAD files before CAD tooling masters were produced at the Holinail Group, Eaglemoss’ manufacturing partner in Dongguan, China. 2D renders were often used for the publication’s illustrations and newly-created annotated schematics by its art editors in the UK.

Each accompanying twenty-page magazine (measuring 219 × 284 mm, except as noted) contained in-depth articles about the design, filming, and on-screen appearances of the original studio model(s).

In addition to using archival material, new interviews with Star Trek cast members and production staff were conducted for the publication. Reference photos of studio models, production stills, and concept art reproductions were also extensively used.

Detailed “in-universe” information about the vessel’s history, crew, weapons, and technology was explored within starship profiles and in other feature articles. Gift premiums and online versions of many issues were also made available to subscribers.

After the conclusion of Standard Edition releases in the UK, Bonus, Special, and XL Editions, shuttlecraft sets, resin dedication plaques, magazine binders, and hardcover reference books continued to be produced for the line. Some products were also re-released in new packaging.

Although the “Standard Edition” had already completed its run, some side collections of the Collection were still releasing issues when, on 12 July 2022, all Eaglemoss product lines came to an abrupt and unexpected end, as the company was forced to cease its business activities under the UK Insolvency Act – meaning the company could no longer pay off its debts. Though having achieved a significant portion of its goal (to have all pre-Kurtzman-era Star Trek ships released in one format or another in the Collection), Eaglemoss’ bankruptcy (which became effective on 5 August 2022, as confirmed by Robinson) meant that the Collection ultimately fell short of its ambitious objective, albeit not by much.

In 2024, Master Replicas acquired the rights to Eaglemoss’s remaining stock and began re-releasing various ships from the entire line.

Eaglemoss Collections

Eaglemoss Collections (also operating as Eaglemoss Ltd. , Eaglemoss Publications Ltd. , and the Eaglemoss Publishing Group Ltd. , the latter two for print publications in particular) was a British publishing company that produced and marketed licensed magazines and collectibles (most conspicuously, their display models ), and had offices in London, New York, Moscow, Paris, São Paulo, and Warsaw.

Originating in 1975 with the release of its first collection, Eaglemoss Publications merged with GE Fabbri in 2011 and continued to focus on publishing partworks that encompassed a vast array of subjects. It had created and distributed more than 150 collections in thirteen different languages, in thirty markets, across five continents. With GE Fabbri came Ben Robinson , already a veteran of several Star Trek -related partworks, who, as senior project manager, would continue to do so for his newly coined employer, already the subsequent year with the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection , the first such partwork published under the Eaglemoss brand. With the addition of several further Star Trek collections, and even though it was only a small, very specific collector's niche market that was targeted, Eaglemoss managed to become the most prolific Star Trek merchandise producer for a decade in the time period 2012-2022.

It was owned by Eaglemoss Capital Ltd., a holding company comprised of private investors based in London and Paris. [1] The company marketed its product lines and subscriptions through its own international webshops [2] and a wide range of other retailers.

On 5 August 2022 , the company was declared bankrupt, [23] ending its decade long association with the Star Trek franchise .

Hero Collector [ ]

Eaglemoss' science fiction, "genre", and pop culture collections, including its Star Trek books and products, were marketed under its Hero Collector publishing imprint and brand. Associated web portals and webshops were also operated under this trademark.

Noted Star Trek author Ben Robinson was the Editorial Manager of Global Developments for this imprint, and Chris J. Thompson, formerly of Titan , had been its Global Brand Manager.

Aside from the Star Trek one it held from ViacomCBS , Eaglemoss/Hero Collector had also entered into a substantial number of licensing agreements with other entertainment companies for their "Intellectual Properties" (IPs) as well, which included among others,

• Amazon / MGM / Syfy – The Expanse , James Bond [3] , Stargate
• The BBC – Doctor Who [3]
• DC Comics – DC Universe
• EuropaCorp/Striker Entertainment – Valerian
• Interplay Entertainment – Fallout (video game)
• ITC Entertainment / ITV Studios – Space:1999 [4]
• Sony Pictures / Columbia – Ghostbusters
• Universal Studios – Back to the Future , Battlestar Galactica
• The Walt Disney Company / 20th Century Fox / Marvel – Alien , Firefly [5] , Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) , The Orville , Predator , Tron
• Warner Bros. – Game of Thrones , Harry Potter , Lord of the Rings , Rick and Morty

One IP Eaglemoss did not succeed in getting licensing rights for, was Warner Bros.' Babylon 5 , the erstwhile competitor of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , and of which Robinson had also wanted to release a magazine/model partwork line akin to the lines from the other IPs already established under his auspices, starting with the Star Trek ones.

Star Trek licensing [ ]

Since 2012, Eaglemoss/Hero Collector has become one of the most prolific manufacturers of Star Trek collectibles ever, far outstripping its contemporaries by swiftly bringing quality products to market. [6]

Under a number of licenses from Paramount Consumer Products , its vast range of releases and frequent interactions with the online collecting community has made the company popular within the adult, yet relatively small as already indicated, segment of the collector's market. [7]

Miniatures [ ]

Market research conducted for predecessor company GE Fabbri's 2006 Star Trek: The Figurine Collection indicated that the public would be more interested in starship miniatures than character figurines and provided its successor, Eaglemoss, with the impetus to commission the The Official Starships Collection , which debuted in the UK in May 2012 .

A side collection, called the Star Trek Starships XL Edition , exclusively comprised of larger models from the Official starship collection, premiered in the US in 2017.

On 31 January 2018 , the company introduced the Star Trek: Discovery The Official Starships Collection partwork, which transitioned into the Star Trek Universe line in 2021, as is detailed below.

In Japan, many products from the Official and Discovery starship lines have been released by De Agostini , another partwork publisher, under its own imprint.

Another monthly partwork, the Star Trek: The Official Busts Collection , premiered on 4 October 2018 , featured 4.5 to 6 inch-tall polyresin busts of a number of Star Trek characters, and concluded after the release of only twelve issues, reaffirming that interest in collectible Star Trek figurines was lackluster at best, as had already been established in 2006.

In June 2020 and in association with Perfect World , the company debuted the Star Trek Online Starships Collection , which presented four to six-inch starship miniatures from Star Trek Online , the massively multiplayer online role-playing game .

Similar to DeAgostini's (short-lived) Japanese project , the company test-marketed the Star Trek: The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork in the UK and US in early 2019, which featured a 70 cm-long "build-your-own" electronic and die-cast metal USS Enterprise -D model kit. Following Eaglemoss' decision to retool the model before initializing subscriptions, the 120-stage partwork premiered in March 2021 (in the UK, US, and EU) and was shortly thereafter test-marketed in Japan by De Agostini.

Due to the lack of availability of new CG starship assets (as of July 2020), the production of ships from the third season of Star Trek: Discovery was delayed, and resulted in the company's decision to suspend the Discovery partwork after the release of (numbered) issue 33. In October 2020, Eaglemoss further reported that it had planned to release more models from DIS in a future starship miniatures line, combined with ships from Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds . [25] It was subsequently named the Star Trek Universe: The Official Starships Collection and launched to retail in March 2021. Additionally, large XL Edition models from DIS and PIC would continue as releases within the first ( Official ) starship partwork.

In June 2019 , the company's project manager first indicated that the company intended to manufacture starships from Star Trek: Prodigy and the Star Trek XV film, at that point in time rumored to go into production anytime soon. [26] The company also confirmed that the first ships from its Star Trek: Lower Decks starships line would debut in January 2022, [27] actually doing so somewhat delayed in April 2022 as the Star Trek: Lower Decks The Official Starships Collection . Eaglemoss' bankruptcy four months later, put a definitive end to any notion of ever releasing a similar line for Prodigy and the fifteenth film, the latter steadfastly continuing to refuse to come to fruition.

The later, post-bankruptcy formal remainder stock owner (new) Master Replicas (see: below ) has in 2023 deduced that according to them, the production of all IP model/magazine partwork collections (thus not only for Star Trek alone), consisted of about 3000 copies per regular issue, but substantially less so for "Exclusive" or "Limited" issue releases. [28] It served as a reminder that only a small, specific collector's niche market was served worldwide by the Eaglemoss model/magazine partwork product lines.

The book publishing division of the company – formally known as Eaglemoss Publications Ltd. – publishes the Star Trek: Designing Starships series of hardcover reference books , compiled from starship design articles in the starship collections' magazines and supplemented with new material.

Later mass-market versions of these books as well as the subsequent ("in-universe") Star Trek: Shipyards , Illustrated Handbook , and the Star Trek Celebration series were published by Eaglemoss, utilizing Penguin Random House 's Publisher Services division for the production and distribution of titles, under the Eaglemoss/Hero Collector imprint. The arrangement is reminiscent of the one entered into by Midsummer Books Ltd. when they partnered up with Eaglemoss' predecessor GE Fabbri for the launch of the Star Trek Fact Files . Largely based on material from the Star Trek Fact Files and subsequently updated and expanded, mass-market volumes of the comprehensive Illustrated Handbook reference book series were produced as well.

Non-English editions of some of these books have also been published by Cross Cult , De Agostini, and Egmont/HarperCollins Publishers . Eaglemoss partnered with Simon & Schuster in 2018 for a contest to cross-promote the DIS partwork and the first three novels involving the series. [29]

Eaglemoss began to publish volumes of the Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection in January 2017 . This series of hardcover books was composed of previously published Star Trek comic books from a wide range of publishers and ran for 150 issues. The company also collaborated with IDW to produce a variant edition of the Star Trek: Year Five, Issue 6 comic book in 2019.

The company published the Star Trek Nerd Search: Quibbles with Tribbles puzzle book in September 2020, and released the Star Trek Voyager: A Celebration , Mr. Spock's Little Book of Mindfulness , and Star Trek Cocktails books later in the year. The 2020 titles stood out as works that were not based on previously published works, but were rather original works conceived by the editorial staff of Eaglemoss. Following suit as such were Star Trek - The Original Series: A Celebration , Star Trek: The Next Generation Nerd Search: Bloopers of the Borg and Star Trek Discovery: The Book of Grudge , which saw publication in 2021. Creating Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Season by Season Companion – Season 1: 1987-1988 , the first volume of a new reference series, was scheduled for release in 2022, but will not see publication by Eaglemoss due to its bankruptcy (see: below ) – if at all.

The Star Trek reference books became the template, both for contents and format, for the company's similar works that explored other notable sci-fi franchises, most conspicuously Battlestar Galactica , Stargate , and the satirical Star Trek homage, Galaxy Quest , using the same publication and distribution methodology as utilized by their Star Trek counterparts.

Other products [ ]

From a new advent calendar series that encompasses a number of other licensed entertainment properties, the company planned to release the Star Trek: Borg Cube Advent Calendar in late August 2021 . [30]

Through its webshops, Eaglemoss retailed a number of Universe Publishing 's Star Trek -themed calendars , including its groundbreaking Ships of the Line series.

In 2020, Eaglemoss' webshop began to retail Mego 's Star Trek figures. It also marketed a number of other Trek products, including art prints and posters, dedication plaques , kitchenware, barware, decor, clothing, apparel, key chains, pin badges, lapel pins, and a variety of other novelties.

Bankruptcy [ ]

On 12 July 2022 , it was reported that Eaglemoss Ltd. filed a "Notice of Intention to appoint an administrator", [31] typically done under the UK Insolvency Act (meaning a company is no longer able to pay off its debts) to manage a company's affairs – and usually a prelude to either a change of ownership, or worse and more likely in this case (as it was also reported that the majority of the executive staff had already left the company for greener pastures elsewhere [32] ), a bankruptcy potentially accompanied by a liquidation of assets. This notification came shortly after almost all of Eaglemoss' worldwide customer service lines, webportals, and Facebook pages were suddenly disconnected. [8] It not only placed the future of the still running Official Starships Collection , Official Universe Starships Collection , and Official Lower Decks Starships Collection , besides The Next Generation Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D partworks into question, but that of all the company's other product lines as well, including their ( Star Trek ) book lines. [33] [34] Customers who had taken out one, saw their subscriptions cancelled without any kind of notification, and were in general kept completely in the dark about the company's status. [35]

Ben Robinson, the project manager for the vast majority of the company's product lines, had already stopped communicating with the outside world the month before, which he had done through his Twitter feed previously, profusely so in effect. But on 8 August Robinson started tweeting again, clarifying that he was let go from the as of 5 August no longer existing company. [36] He also stated that he was in process of talking with third parties ostensibly "interested" in taking over some of the product lines with the buildup lines (such as the Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D collection) given absolute priority, [9] as Robinson "(...) hate[s] the thought of anyone being left with an incomplete model (...)", though conceding that he was unable to give any guaranties, merely that he was "hopeful" and "optimistic". [37] These actually might have included the aforementioned DeAgostini licensee, as several of their official Eaglemoss product lines sites were still up and running by September 2022. [10]

Robinson took it upon himself to try to make up for the complete lack of communication by Eaglemoss by giving several interviews to social media outlets, [38] as well as to Star Trek news sites, expressing his hopes for the future. In addition and even though he had not been part of the upper echelon management team, Robinson suspected that the company failed in the end because "(...) the owners of Eaglemoss pursued a strategy of very aggressive expansion and aggressive growth – with the intention of making the company as attractive to a potential buyer as possible. The way it feels to me is that they over-egged it," [39] [40] an understandable sentiment, considering the substantial above listed number of IP licenses Eaglemoss had accumulated by the time of its bankruptcy. Robinson additionally opined at a later point in time, " We didn’t lose Star Trek customers - far from it. Eaglemoss’s problems were to do with being under capitalised, trying to grow too fast and needing the growth to fund current activity, " [41] and, " It was an odd company - the creative people were passionate but it was run by the marketing and money people. " [42]

Premium & Collectibles Trading LTD (PCT) purchased the intellectual property, customer databases, and multiple web domains for the Eaglemoss partwork build-up models right before they officially went into administration. PCT owns many subsidiaries, including IXO Models (IXO). PCT/IXO is the company responsible for the manufacture of most of the Eaglemoss' partworks, including the Back to the Future DeLorean , Ghostbusters Ecto-1 , and U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D . By October 2022, PCT/IXO owned the rights to these products themselves and were working on reestablishing licensing and distribution to customers. [43] They also started to reach out to former Eaglemoss customers with a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) notice and a Google-survey.

Liquidation remaining Eaglemoss stock [ ]

On 21 January 2023 it was confirmed that the administrators had released the remaining stock of Eaglemoss for sale to customers. It was indeed DeAgostini, and not PCT/IXO after all, who had taken over The Build The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D program as part of their " Fanhome " line, and the company expected delivery to customers to resume in February for Europe, followed a month later to those in the USA. Collectors had to take out new subscriptions with DeAgostini though.

The remaining stock of display models lines, including the Star Trek ones, were bought by UK-based Heathside Trading, a distributor and self-proclaimed "closeout/stocklot business" specialist of toys, games, and collectibles. Heathside owner/founder Darren Epstein had already on 29 December 2022 announced on his LinkedIn account that he had acquired licenses belonging to Eaglemoss, and intended "starting to put some ranges up for sale," which he actually did in January 2023 when he started to sell the leftover stock from Eaglemoss' Alien figurine line through the main Heathside webstore. [44] The company expected resuming the online-sale-only of the other model lines sometime in 2023 under their own, re-instituted (new) "Master Replicas" brand (not to be confused with the original one , even though the brand-name itself Epstein had previously acquired from their administrators, after the original company too had gone bankrupt in 2020), and contemplated reviving the Star Trek line(s) with new additions of their own. [45] [46] (X)

The relaunched site went live on Sunday 19 March 2023 , 7:00 pm CET. In an email sent to prospect customers who had opted to receive them, [47] Epstein announced the sale of leftover display model stock from all Eaglemoss collections, starting with those of Star Trek . It was also announced that these model issues were to be sold in waves of 25+ items, renewed every fortnight on Friday at 10:00 pm CET, and that issues would be included that Eaglemoss had not come around to releasing them itself, but whose production had already been started up nonetheless at the time of their bankruptcy. One such model concerned the Caretaker's array , the by Eaglemoss planned and produced, but ultimately unreleased Special issue 30 of The Official Starships Collection . Part of the deal struck with the Eaglemoss administrators entailed that Master Replicas would charge their customers the same retail prices Eaglemoss had charged at the end of their existence, [48] a condition Master Replicas faithfully adhered to, when it went online.

Towards the end of its existence, Eaglemoss was really struggling to get their products to market, [49] causing their release schedules for all their product-lines to go awry in a bad way, and that scheduled, yet already manufactured, display model releases became backed-up in warehouses. All this resulted in a relatively significant number of unreleased issues from the several collections, which included ten from the various Star Trek starships collections (six from the original Official Starships , one from the Universe , and three from the Lower Decks collections) in addition to twenty from the Doctor Who , five from The Orville , and four each from the The Expanse , Stargate , and Battlestar Galactica collections, as well as three from the Tron collection, only just launched at the time in the latter case. [50] It was therefore new stock owner Master Replicas, who became enabled to market these unreleased items – albeit without the accompanying magazines in all cases [11] .

And while (new) Master Replicas managed to secure new licenses to continue some of the IP-lines, [51] [52] [53] they failed in their attempts to do so for the various Star Trek Starship Collection lines whose licenses also went to Fanhome eventually, and it were they who subsequently announced their intention to revive the line(s) somewhere in the third quarter of 2024. [54] [55]

Footnotes [ ].

• ↑ Eaglemoss was formerly a sister company of Data Base Factory when both were subsidiaries of the Financière Aurénis Group. [1] (X) Data Base Factory was acquired by CCA International Inc. in 2015, but continued to perform several marketing-related services for Eaglemoss in the UK (and various non-English-speaking countries), under its new company name.
• ↑ At the turn of 2020/2021 Eaglemoss ran into severe delivery troubles for all their publications due to the COVID-19 pandemic , which caused substantial hold-ups at the EU/UK border and subsequent worldwide carrier problems. [2] [3] [4] The second major reason for the delays came with the fulfillment of Brexit when Eaglemoss, like so many other British companies with strong EU trading ties, opted to relocate their warehouse and distribution center to the European continent (from London, UK – that location being subsequently closed [5] – to Waghäusel-Kirrlach, Germany in Eaglemoss' case) in order to avoid their substantially larger European customer base (see this entry for further clarification) being hit with with hefty VAT taxes and import duties, besides circumventing the unavoidable longer customs hold-ups at the now reactivated UK/EU border. The German warehouse was originally slated to start operating on 13 January 2021, but did not open its doors until a month later, on 9 February. [6] The new warehouse was intended to serve both the UK and EU customer base, [7] though an auxiliary, smaller UK-based warehouse was apparently also reopened by the company in order to better serve Commonwealth customers, which also experienced severe delivery problems. [8] All this led to massive, worldwide delivery delays for subscribers and customers. Brett Coles, the head of Eaglemoss' Customer Service did his best to inform the customers as best a he could through both the service's dedicated Facebook-page [9] and a number of December-February emails sent to subscribers and those customers who had items on order at that particular point in time. Nonetheless, he was unable to avoid that customers were confronted with delivery delays of at least four months and more. When bad winter weather [10] and (Brexit-related) carrier problems [11] also came into play (for Commonwealth customers in particular), the situation became so dire that Cole felt compelled to sent out emails to customers in early February, offering to have their outstanding orders rescinded, accompanied by a discount code if they choose to reorder items at a later, more convenient time. While services had shortly resumed at a more-or-less normal level in late 2021, the (financial) ripple effects of the delays continued to wreak havoc on Eaglemoss' product release planning right up until its August 2022 bankruptcy. The July 2022 forced cessation of business activities however, had already been a stark and early indication that the company had never been able to overcome the cumulative effects of the difficulties it was faced with during the years 2020-2021. When the cessation came into effect, turnover had more than halved in the intervening years, form UK£68 million to UK£31.6 million per year, while operating losses had risen in one year from UK£0.9 million to UK£10.5 million at the end of 2020. [12]
• ↑ 3.0 3.1 An IP license carried over from predecessor GE Fabbri, whose product lines already fell under the auspices of Ben Robinson.
• ↑ Eaglemoss' licensed products from Space: 1999 , the British cult favorite, debuted in 2021 after lengthy negotiations with the licensor. [13]
• ↑ The rights to the Firefly IP, a Sci-Fi franchise with a small, but rabid fan-following not unlike the one Star Trek has , had been one of Eaglemoss' most recent acquisitions with asset production actually already poised to start, though not a single item was release-ready when the bankruptcy occurred. [14]
• ↑ Anovos and ThinkGeek began to market a number of Eaglemoss Star Trek products, commencing in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
• ↑ In the past, Eaglemoss has surveyed collectors to evaluate their interest in sixty to eighty centimeter-long starship models with built-in lights, forty centimeter-long models with LED lighting (specifically, a USS Enterprise refit , a USS Enterprise -D, and a USS Voyager with movable nacelles), and a fifty centimeter-wide USS Enterprise -D bridge with electronic features, among many other items.
• ↑ The company's official collector portal HeroCollector.com remained live for quit some time thereafter though, but was no longer maintained after 6 July 2022, before it too went defunct at that year's end. The majority of product sites maintained by licensee DeAgostini Japan remained live however, as it did not fall under the bankruptcy because it was a separate legal entity. This also meant that marketing licenses and any left-over stock remained formal DeAgostini property, out of reach of the Eaglemoss administrators who were only entitled to the pre-negotiated license fees DeAgostini had agreed to pay Eaglemoss.
• ↑ Similar to the Enterprise -D release, Eaglemoss was at that point in time also gearing up to start releasing a large 1:250 scaled Titanic buildup model partwork, [15] and were in effect already taking subscriptions when the bankruptcy occurred. The already famous ship was made even more famous by the 1997 film from Paramount Pictures , the production company of the Star Trek films . Another buildup partwork cut short by the bankruptcy concerned the already up and running Build the GhostBusters Ecto-1 collection, which missed out on completion by merely two issues. [16]
• ↑ When discounting the fact that Robinson as a mere unemployed British subject has no formal say whatsoever left (which is now the purview of the Eaglemoss administrators, and the administrators only; Robinson's only play is to privately talk third parties into contacting the administrators), his optimism might in addition be utterly misplaced as well, since Eaglemoss' bankruptcy could not have come at a worse time for the frustrated customer base. Still reeling from the economically adverse after-effects of the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic, the entire western world was confronted by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine which started directly thereafter, and which could even entail far worse financial consequences. That war resulted in double-digit inflation rates not seen in the developed western world since World War II, meaning that because of the rapidly evaporating consumer buying power, an extreme economic recession has become a distinct possibility for 2023 and beyond, in Europe especially. That Robinson was privately harboring doubts himself at that point in time, despite him putting on a brave face in public, was exemplified when he shared a tooled prototype model picture of the cancelled Lower Decks Yosemite shuttlecraft issue . The prototype model was gifted by Robinson to Lower Decks creator, Mike McMahan [17] in itself an indication that Robinson was himself doubtful at the time whether or not the cancelled Eaglemoss partwork issues would ever see the day of light at all.
• ↑ By the time of their bankruptcy, Eaglemoss had maintained eight distribution stock keeping unit ("SKU") centers in the USA, UK, Australia, Austria, Germany, Poland, France and Holland. [18] This was on top of the stock still left at the Holinail Group, the Dongguan, China-based manufacturer, where most of the already produced new yet-to-be-released items still resided. These were the locations (new) Master Replicas received their stock items from. [19] Two additional printer-owned warehouses held an 100,000-copy stock of magazines that would have come with the models of the various partworks. This magazine stock (possibly also including magazines for the unreleased issues) too became property of Master Replicas under the bankruptcy settlement. However, the printer refused to release this magazine stock until debt owned by the bankrupt Eaglemoss was fulfilled in full – something the Eaglemoss administrators were unlikely to do. As the new legal inventory owners, Master Replicas had entered into legal negotiations with the disgruntled printer (who was legally prohibited to sell the stock on their own, regardless of how burning its desire to do so might have been), but Master Replicas was able to resolve the issue in August 2023. [20] [21] [22] Excluded from the bankruptcy settlement, was stock held by, or was earmarked for (if it concerned stock still residing at the Chinese manufacturer) licensee DeAgostini Japan, as it was their property legally, not Eaglemoss'.

[REVIEW] Eaglemoss Starship Models, Part I: The Smaller Ships

If you have your ear to the ground on the latest Star Trek merchandise, you’ve probably heard of Eaglemoss’ collection of Star Trek die-cast ship models. Perhaps you’ve been hesitant to buy into the collection because of its price, or because you don’t think you need a bunch of metal hanging around your house. Well, we got our hands on a few models from Eaglemoss’ impressively varied collection; if you have any questions about these models, let us put them to rest.

Eaglemoss current has three lines of models in production. One is their most famous line, the Star Trek Starship Collection , a series of “regular sized” ships from all corners of the Star Trek universe. These models are about 5.5 inches long, and like all Eaglemoss models, are made of die-cast metal and are hand-painted. The second line is a bigger version of some of the models in the regular collection. These XL models are about 10+ inches long, and made of the same materials. Finally, the most recent line is from Star Trek: Discovery . Currently, only the U.S.S. Shenzhou is available, but the Discovery herself is on the way in April.

Treat Her Like a Lady…

Our first collection review will touch on the “regular” models, of which there is the best variety for customers. TrekNews was able to procure six of these models thanks to Eaglemoss:

• Enterprise-A
• Enterprise-D
• Enterprise NX-01
• Romulan Warbird
• Tellarite Cruiser (From Enterprise )
• Klingon Bird of Prey

Close-up saucer shot of the Enterprise-D. Note the extreme detail.

The first thing customers will notice is the extreme attention to detail packed onto these small models. Take the Enterprise-D for example, as shown above. Every window, sleek hull line, and escape pod is accounted for on the over-sized oval saucer section. It looks even better than the miniature filming model they used in the show. In this way, Eaglemoss does a great job of showing the huge scale of the ship, despite only being a few inches long.

Aft view of Enterprise.

Anybody looking to pick up some of these models are likely going for build quality over anything. Every one of these models exudes precision. Take a look a the NX-01  above.   Notice how the metallic hull plating and lines are perfectly representative of the then-new high-definition model we saw on Enterprise . Or take the Bird of Prey or Romulan Warbird, both shown below. On the Bird of Prey, the iconic Klingon aesthetic is perfectly preserved, with every angular line down to the disruptor cannon rendered accurately. On the Romulan Warbird, much like the  Enterprise-D , every window and sweeping hull detail is there, impressive considering the limited

Romulan Warbird. Note the hull scarring.

surface area with which to craft these designs. And if you look carefully, the Warbird and Bird of Prey even have a surface-level hull scarring texture around the model (most prominent on the Warbird picture). Don’t worry, this isn’t a result of damage to the model, but rather what seems like a dedicated (and successful) attempt to mimic years of service and battle damage. None of these alien ships are supposed to look pristine, so this addition is right on the money.

Klingon Bird of Prey. Unfortunately, the wings do not angle down.

The inclusion of the Tellarite Cruiser in this collection is representative of Eaglemoss’ attention to lore, and it’s certainly not the only deep cut from this collection. (If you browse through Eaglemoss’ catalog, you’ll find such obscure ships as the Curry-class cruiser as seen in about .365 seconds of one  DS9  episode, or the Steamrunner-class  of  First Contact fame).  The Tellarite cruiser is an obscure ship for sure, seen only in three episodes of Enterprise as a blurry CGI model. But Eaglemoss has taken that ship and given it a makeover that is sure to excite those who care about such things. Indeed, more detail of this ship can be seen in this physical model rather than the ship’s appearances in the show. And because every ship in Eaglemoss’ collection is approved by CBS, you don’t have to worry that your money is going to an inaccurate representation of the ships you know and love, no matter how obscure.

If there was one con to be said about these models, it’s the stand. While the ships are most made of durable metal (capable of surviving without a scratch after falling from a desk), the stands themselves are not conducive to removing the models often. The plastic is apt to slip out of its base, or slips out from the ship too easily. If you don’t plan on playing with your models often, then this won’t be an issue; but those who want to remove the models from their plastic holders often will want to make sure one hand is securing the base and plastic stem before removing the model.

As a nice finishing touch, each ship also comes with a full-color magazine that details not only the specifications and design of the ship, but also its place in Star Trek history. Take the Tellarite Cruiser, for example .  Despite its meager place in Star Trek lore, it still gets the full treatment from Eaglemoss. Of course, more popular ships like the  Enterprise-A  or its  Galaxy-class  counterpart have even more detail in their respective magazines. Good stuff.

What Does [Your Name Here] Need With a Starship?

So the question is: should you invest in these models? Well, if you were holding back because of the build quality or accuracy, those fears should be put to rest. Eaglemoss continues to craft excellent tributes to Star Trek ’s diverse lineup of starships, and if you see your favorite ship on there , definitely check it out. The regular-sized models make exceptional desk ornaments or little gifts to fellow Star Trek fans. The collection is available online at  shop.eaglemoss.com  or in comic stores for $22.95 for a single model. If you are looking to buy a few ships or own the full collection, then subscription is the better option. Visit  st-starships.com  to learn more about the subscription and its perks. If you are in the UK or EU, visit  startrekships.herocollector.com   to subscribe and receive the U.S.S. Enterprise-D for FREE, paying just £2.99/€3.99 for P&P.

However, Eaglemoss does have other model lines besides these smaller models, including the bigger (and arguably better) XL models. Stay tuned to TrekNews.net to see if those ships strike your fancy and are worthier of a space on your desk. And also stay tuned for a review of the first model from the  Discovery lineup, the  U.S.S. Shenzhou . Check out some additional images of the ships TrekNews was able to procure, along with some official pictures from Eaglemoss.

“It looks even better than the miniature filming model they used in the show.”

Hmm. I’m pretty sure you’d see that the filming miniature looked actually much, much better than these mass-produced die-cast models. And while I believe these are hand-painted, they are obviously painted using masking templates that are easily mis-aligned.

With all the effort put into research and getting the details right, I’m disappointed they chose to create these as die-cast models. Without spending a whole lot more money, die-cast technology leaves out-of scale and very soft detail, gigantic joint gaps, obvious mold flash and other problems. I have no interest in these models because of this. If these were rendered in high-quality plastic with sharp detail, I would be interested.

I really wish that these ships would have been produced in the same scale, even if it meant losing detail on some of the smaller ones.

How Big Are The Star Trek Eaglemoss Ships

By: Author Brad Burnie

Posted on Published: June 12, 2022  - Last updated: November 29, 2022

Share the Universe!

You’ve probably heard of Eaglemoss’ Star Trek die-cast ship designs if you keep your ears to the ground for the latest Star Trek stuff. Perhaps you’ve been hesitant to collect the models because of the cost or because you don’t really want that much metal in your home. 

The Eaglemoss collection has an incredibly diverse range, and we’re here to answer any questions you might have about them, including how big they are and how much space they will take up in your home.

What Are The Eaglemoss Models And How Big Are They?

Eaglemoss now produces three different model lines. The Star Trek Starship Series, for example, is a set of normal sized spacecraft from across all areas of the Star Trek world. 

The Standard Eaglemoss models are around 5.5 inches long and are crafted of die-cast and hand-painted, and the The XL models are 10+ inches. 

The second model line is a larger type of a few of the main collection’s models. These XL variants are 10+ inches long and manufactured with the same materials as the regular models.

Smaller Eaglemoss Models

The tremendous craftsmanship packed into these little models is the first thing shoppers will notice. Consider the Enterprise-D, as depicted above. 

The over-sized round saucer part accounts for every window, elegant hull lines, and escape pods. It’s even more impressive than the show’s small filming model. 

Eaglemoss does an excellent job of conveying the ship’s massive scale, despite the fact that it is only a few inches in length.

Anyone interested in purchasing one of these models will most likely prioritise build quality over all else. Each of these designs oozes accuracy. The metal hull plating and contours are identical to the elevated version on the Enterprise. 

Take, for example, the Bird of Prey or the Romulan Warbird. The classic Klingon look is perfectly preserved aboard the Bird of Prey, with every geometric line down to the disruptor gun reproduced correctly. 

All windows and hull detailing is present, similar to the Enterprise-D, which is astounding given the restricted surface space available to build these designs.

The Warbird and Bird of Prey even feature a surface-level hull scarring texture surrounding the model if you look closely. 

Don’t worry, this isn’t due to model deterioration, but rather what appears to be a dedicated (and effective) attempt to replicate decades of combat and battle damage. Because none of these extraterrestrial ships are intended to be spotless, this inclusion is spot on.

The Tellarite Cruiser’s presence in this collection demonstrates Eaglemoss’ devotion to legend. If you look through Eaglemoss’ catalogue, you’ll see ships like the Curry-class cruiser, which appeared in.365 second of one DS9 episode, and the Steamrunner-class from First Contact. 

The Tellarite cruiser is a rare ship, appearing only as a fuzzy CGI model in three episodes of Enterprise. Eaglemoss, on the other hand, has given the ship a makeover that will surely thrill all who care about these things.

Indeed, this physical model shows more detail of the ship than the ship’s representations in the series. 

You don’t have to worry about your money going to an improper rendition of the spaceships you hold dear since every vessel in Eaglemoss’ collection has been approved by CBS.

The plastic is prone to slipping out of its foundation or slipping out of the ship. If you don’t intend on fiddling with your models too often, this won’t be a problem. 

But, if you plan on pulling the figures from the plastic holder frequently, ensure your hand is anchoring the foundation and plastic stalk when retrieving the model.

Every spacecraft also includes a full magazine that discusses not just the ship’s features and design, but also its significance in Star Trek lore. Take, for example, the Tellarite Cruiser. Despite its minor role in Star Trek legend, Eaglemoss gives it the royal treatment.

Extra Large Eaglemoss Models

Eaglemoss’ XL range of ships are models like no other. These vessels are roughly twice as large as their smaller equivalents. As with most anything, size matters, and this model series is no exception.

The larger surface allows the metal contours and increased texture work to truly pop, especially when compared to the model’s smaller version, which already had a strong showing. 

Eaglemoss’ model’s vast geometry of this ship’s saucer part renews my admiration for Doug Dexler’s design. The XL model draws the viewer’s attention to the hull’s many elements, such as openings, symbols, and curvature. 

Those who want  XL versions must be prepared to pay a premium. These vessels are much more costly than the smaller counterparts, at $75 per model (excluding subscription pricing, which Eaglemoss offers). 

Some may consider these XL models to be pricey, but we can guarantee you that the added price is due to the increased number of materials used in the model, including the additional time spent painting the ships.

With that in mind, we can give some advice: if you’re only interested in one or two Eaglemoss models, the investment in all of these XL designs is well worth it. They look absolutely fantastic on stands in your living room or bedroom. 

Regardless of how they’re used, these models give viewers a new respect for the Star Trek universe’s stunning designs.

Star Trek Eaglemoss Subscription Services

A subscriber option is available for those who do not want to limit themselves to only one or two models. 

Those who choose this option will receive a 20% discount on the XL Voyager model, as well as three special free gifts totaling $100 as part of their membership, which they can cancel at any time. 

Additional ships will be delivered on a monthly basis at the same 20% discount. If you’re interested in learning more about the subscription, go to st-starshipsxl.com.

Final Thoughts

Eaglemoss has replicated somewhere in the neighbourhood of 200 ships from the Star Trek TV shows and movies over the past few years.

Their series of Trek ship models began as a membership service, but if you move quickly enough, you may buy any of these replicas individually.

Eaglemoss set out to recreate every spacecraft ever shown in a Star Trek production, and while a few minor backdrop ships may still be missing, they’ve come a long way, with several themes that regular observers would be hard-pressed to recognise.

Depending on the space you have to accommodate one of these amazing die-cast metal ships, as a hardcore Star Trek fan, or even a casual viewer, you will definitely enjoy having a high-quality replica of Star Trek’s astounding spaceships in your home.

Review: Eaglemoss ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ Future USS Enterprise-D XL Model Is All Good Things

| September 16, 2020 | By: Jeff Bond 25 comments so far

The Joy of Eaglemoss

Those of us deeply into spaceship porn have had a willing accomplice to our habit in Eaglemoss collectibles, which has reproduced somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 spacecraft from the Star Trek television series, movies and other venues over the past several years. Their line of Trek ship models began with a subscription program but you can also purchase any of these reproductions individually if you act quickly enough (quite a few of them have sold out at this stage).

After the initial line of quite affordable and compact ships (usually measuring 4-5 inches in length), the company launched the “XL” companion line of deluxe, larger versions of some of the most popular vessels averaging around 8” long. Once you start collecting these things it’s difficult to stop, and you’ll be surprised how quickly they start filling up your shelf space. And it’s not just Trek subjects—Eaglemoss has added lines from Battlestar Galactica and The Orville along with character figures so while certain lines will end, the list of potential subjects seems to keep on growing.

Eaglemoss XL “All Good Things” Future Enterprise-D

Future U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D (“All Good Things”) XL Edition (1/2900 scale)

One of the latest XL releases is a reproduction of the “Future” U.S.S. Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation ’s swan song, “All Good Things.” This ship is best-remembered for its surprise appearance under the command of an aging Will Riker, blasting through some Klingon vessels threatening Beverly Crusher’s U.S.S. Pasteur vessel in an alternate, future timeline Jean-Luc Picard is experiencing thanks to the machinations of John DeLancie’s Q character. To keep costs down, the future Enterprise was a modification of the 6-foot Enterprise D miniature used for many of the familiar shots of the Enterprise D seen throughout the series. Since the intent was to keep the original Enterprise D miniature intact, add-on pieces including a central, third warp nacelle, a massive, underslung phaser cannon that traverses the full length of the saucer section, some projecting antennas or weapons and other machinery on top of the saucer and some added fins extending the warp nacelle pylons were attached to the Enterprise miniature to create a visually distinct but recognizable future version of the starship that could be seen alongside the original Enterprise in at least one shot.

Future Enterprise-D in “All Good Things, Part 2”

The Future Enterprise has been reproduced in a number of earlier toy versions although there has never been an official model kit of the subject. One of the great things about the Eaglemoss models is they give you the detail and authenticity of a model kit without all that annoying building, painting and decaling. Eaglemoss’ Future Enterprise D reproduces all the details of the original miniature down to the raised lifeboat panels and the subtle light green Aztec pattern over the duck egg blue color of the hull, as well as some extremely delicate red striping details all over the ship.

Detail on Eaglemoss XL “All Good Things” Future Enterprise-D

The three bussard collectors and the impulse engines are done in clear red plastic which gives them some nice depth. At around 8 ¾ inches in length the ship is a nice, chunky size—I haven’t been able to find exact dimensions for the ship but it’s slightly longer than the original Enterprise D due to the placement of the third nacelle, so I came up with a rough scale of around 1/2900. Scale model collectors will gripe that these ships are in scales that are all over the map (standard model kit scales are 1/350, 1/500, 1/650, 1/1000, 1/2500 etc.) but the idea is to keep the model sizes in a similar range so they can all be displayed together.

The final challenge of most Eaglemoss ship models is figuring out just how they sit on their display stands, which consist of a metal black oval and a clear piece that locks onto the model and connects it to the metal oval. Eaglemoss has been fairly ingenious about creating these clear stands to support all the oddball shapes of the Star Trek ships, from Starfleet vessels to Klingon attack ships to Ferengi transports. One constant factor as far as any version of the Enterprise is it’s going to be top-heavy and extremely susceptible to tipping over.

Most of the Eaglemoss ships come with collectible magazines full of photos and schematics of the subject, as well as a little note about how exactly the model fits on the stand. My Future Enterprise D model did not come with a magazine, however, so I had to divine how the ship sits on the stand all by myself and it was a real intelligence test. If you look at the stand, there’s a lower cradle that fits the outline of the secondary hull, and two upper prongs that fit onto the back of the main saucer, on either side of the impulse engines. So you need to slip those two prongs up around the secondary hull so they extend up between the hull and the warp nacelles and then slide the whole thing forward so it fits onto the rear of the primary hull saucer. Got it? Be careful, because the weight of the ship will probably knock the clear stand off the black base a few times while you’re doing this, because that’s the way the universe works. Once you’ve got it on the stand it’s fairly stable.

At $75 this is a nice, chunky collectible that will give you a very accurate reproduction of this fan-favorite ship without taking up too much of your display space. You can pick up the Future U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D at the Eaglemoss shop for $74.95 .

More Trek ships from Eaglemoss

Reportedly Eaglemoss is getting to the end of the line for their reproductions of older Trek ships but with all the Trek TV shows in production, it’s doubtful the company will be running out of Trek subjects any time soon. I’m still holding out for some ships from The Animated Series , which has some of the coolest designs in the franchise but has evaded reproduction by Eaglemoss so far. Give me an aqua-shuttle !

Coming up next, TrekMovie will be reviewing two new Eaglemoss models from Star Trek: Discovery : The XL Edition USS Discovery and the Section 31 Headquarters .

Something is telling me this is the Model will that show up in Picard. Can’t wait to see it! Captain Worf? Captain Rom? Captain Torres?

This time will be costly. They will not be able to show Discovery’s bridge.

How could it show up in Picard? The Ent-D was destroyed in GENERATIONS. The version we saw in “All Good Things” was an alternate timeline where GENERATIONS never happened.

This Enterprise must be back for a reason.

Eaglemoss’ schedule has nothing to do with broadcasts, aside from the relatively speedy introduction of ships from Discovery. These retro ships have come out seemingly randomly over the past several years, and this one is just notable because it’s the first time we’ve seen the AGT Future Enterprise in the XL scale, and die-cast. It’s previously been released in a smaller scale (both regular and Mirror Universe versions), and other versions of it have been released over the years by Takara (Micro Machines) and, I think, Furuta (Japanese blind box items).

As stated, the Enterprise-D can’t show up in Picard because it was destroyed so, at best, we’d see the Enterprise-E (presumably captained by Worf) in Picard.

That said, how about seeing an upgraded version of one of the -D’s sister ships (U.S.S. Galaxy?) in LDS?

My apologies. I know what happened, but bringing this Enterprise back (now) just made me think about what we will see next in the new shows.

I remember how amazing was watching the finale for the first time. And this Enterprise was the coolest ship at that time. Emotions ran high during that time. =)

There needs to be at least one Enterprise in the Picard show at some point. There have been FIVE versions of the Enterprise in various TNG productions (original in Relics, C in Yesterday’s Enterprise, B in Generations, and of course D and E). Not to mention this version of D from All Good Things.

I honestly don’t care what version we see, but there needs to be an Enterprise somehow, some way. I’d be ok with a new version of the F captained by a Harry Kim or Alexander Rozhenko or Ezri Dax.

I really hope that if we see a Galaxy class ship in Picard, that it is not a refit, and certainly not this horrible kit-bash.

I’d love to see them visit a Galaxy class or else give us some TNG era flashbacks, maybe take the opportunity to show off some of the parts of these ships that couldn’t be shown with 90s effects and budgets. Show us shuttle bay 1, the full arboretum or sickbay. Since LDS has canonized cetacean ops, maybe revisit that concept.

My friend, Mendon, says the windows don’t look right on teh Eaglemosses. Is this still true? Is Mendon right about the bad windows on the little ships?

If you zoom in on the pictures in the article above you can see that there seem to be additional window slots on the saucer section that aren’t painted black like the other windows. Some of these are aligned with black windows while others are not. Not sure if these are production errors or intentional.

Pretty sure it’s a production error as this has been a fairly common occurrence with Eaglemoss ships. I’m not sure if the paint is applied by hand or thru some automated process, but it often does not line up with the window indentations.

I’ve never understood the love for this version of the Galaxy class. It looks like what it is, a hastily-conceived kit bash.

The Galaxy class is all elegant lines, and this breaks those lines in the clumsiest ways possible.

yup, it looks like a shoddy refit / frankenstein ship. Starfleet should’ve gutted the D and rebuilt it if they were gonna refit it with new engines and weapons, like they did the original

Oddly enough, I liked the AGT version. The standard version always seemed to have odd proportions with the oversized primary hull, mini warp nacelles and relatively small secondary hull. While I could take or leave the phaser cannons on the top of the primary hull, the addition of the third nacelle gave the ship a more aggressive profile that I actually found interesting.

Within the context of the story, this ship existed in an uncertain time where the Federation’s relationship with the Klingons wasn’t as cozy, so additional weapons and possibly speed were most likely necessities and the look fit that timeline.

I agree that the heavy weaponry makes sense, particularly in that alternate timeline. It’s just horribly executed in my view.

Can’t agree on the design of the Galaxy class- I always loved it. My all-time favourite.

Bad enough Enterprise D was an ugly design o begin with, sticking a bunch of other scifi looking weaponry stuff to it and plopping a third unneeded engine on it’s back to portray it as some future refit explanation made it even more hideous to behold. Kind of ruined a sort of OK send-off for the series, proving it’s faulted turn as its motion picture extension destroyed the ending of this series even more.

LOLOL None of the hero ships were ugly until new trek, Discovery hideous, La Sirena hideous, Lower Decks ship Hideous.

The Enterprises from NX to E were all great to watch, as well as the Defiant and Voyager.

That’s not true, Defiant is the ugliest starship ever. Discovery is prettier than Defiant or Voyager. La Sirena, yeah I could take it or leave it. It’s not ugly, but it’s also not pretty. It’s an inoffensive, forgettable, stock spaceship.

Now, the CopyPaste class from Picard- I think we can all agree those are nasty.

Disco is prettier than Defiant, but certainly not Voyager. I love Voyager’s design.

Na, the Defiant was as ugly as it gets. Disco is a beauty from some angles while she isn’t from others because she’s too flat. La Sirena is a soulless run-of-the-mill design that cannot even compete with Serenity, Lucy or Rocy though it tries to emulate that sort of ship…

The E-D was NOT an ugly design. She’s the second-prettiest beauty in the Trek universe, only second to the one and only big E.

1 USS Enterprise NCC-1701 / NCC-1701-A (all Primeline versions) 2 USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D 3 USS Voyager NCC-74656 4 Enterprise NX-01 5 USS Discovery NCC-1031 6 USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E 7 USS Cerritos NCC-75567 … 8 USS Defiant NX-74205 … 9 La Sirena

Lovely model! But… please, TPTB… Kelvin 1701-A please. How is it we got the weird “skinny refit 1701,” the Franklin and the drone ship, but not that gorgeous new Enterprise from the end of the film?

I guess if we use this new AGT Possible Futureprise as a standard for Eaglemoss’ schedule, we should expect one by 2046. I’m sure 70+ year old me will enjoy finally seeing it then.

I have to admit I recently gave up on collecting the Eaglemoss models. Just too many, far too many ships. I used to buy almost everything for years, but it’s started to get absurd. Now there are models from Star Trek Online!

Back in the 90s – when we had to collect Micromachines – I thought it would have been awesome to get models of EVERY ship. But that was when DS9 had recently launched. With five more series, half a dozen of more movies and countless unrealized model designs, there are simply too many ships.

I certainly will get some of the more interesting models, but I cannot complete this collection.

They should do a single XXL hyper special edition ship once a year since Diamond Select seems to have abandoned actually releasing new Trek ships.
