This actually looks much better than I could have expected. Im still not a fan of the ship itself. Never have been. But DST made a pretty simple design look good with some of the added details. I just wish they would show something I am actually interested in buying now. LOL

She does indeed look like a great improvement over the old playmates version, I love the rounded hull compared to the flat on on the playmates one.
I look forward to adding it to my collection.

i wonder how big it is?

I'd been thinking the same thing, because I thought it was quite small. This is very, very rough - extremely rough, but gives a slight idea of what to expect I'd say:

I have no issue with the ship and I think they have done a fine job on it. I just dont have the space or the money. That money will go to a ship that I really want.

Go to YouTube and check out Pixel Dan's interview with Zach from Diamonds, the RBOP well be available next year, there some good pics oh the NX-01 and it.

Link for the Trek stuff. The BoP certainly doesn't look that big, a decent size though.

The main body looks to be the same width as the 1701-A's saucer.

Ditto JK,ditto. Been awhile since there was a ship I REALLY wanted. It's time for one now.
J-R!

That's pretty small compared to the Klingon BoP, for example, and that even has movable wings. I honestly expected something bigger, not as "small" as the Playmates version. But I think it's gotta something to do with the TOS-Enterprise size, the Romulan BoP would look too off in comparison, if it's too big.

Yeah it'd fit in better, definitely. Weird though how the price is the same as something like the AGT-D.
EDIT: RRP is $70 (£46). Here's a clearer picture from tomopop:

I'd assume its size is so its "in scale" with the TOS Enterprise, which is nice. It makes me hopeful if they do Reliant it will be "in scale" with the TWOK Enterprise.
It certainly looks a lot nicer then the playmates version, I just hope the window paint apps are that clean on the official release.

I'm itching for any new info on this thing. From what I've seen she looks gorgeous and I'll definitely be picking one up.
Anybody hear anything about a potential release date? I wonder if this will count as the 2015 alien ship, or if DST abandoned that goal and is saving this for the 50th Anniversary next year. I know this is highly unlikely, but in a perfect world the Romulan BOP releases this year and we get the Reliant and K'tinga next year, with the Botany Bay as a 2016 SDCC exclusive.

The RBoP isn't even up for preorder yet, I'd be shocked if it released this year. Odds are she'll release next year for the 50th (Hopefully, you never know with DST.)
I also highly doubt they'd ever make a Botany Bay, especially as an exclusive, they usually just do variants so they don't piss off their entire fanbase.

Looks like I'll have to build my own Botany Bay. Walmart has the PL Space Seed kit for under $25, I might take a crack at painting and assembling the 1/1000 Botany Bay and throwing her in with my DST ships. How hard can it be?

For me personally assembling is easy, painting is whats hard.

Looks like Eaglemoss is planning a November release for the Botany Bay, I'm probably better off just waiting to snag one of those.

Love Eaglemoss, I'm sure they'll do a damn good job on her.

Both the RBoP and the NX are 2016 releases. Neither has been solicited to retailers.
We may release the new HD run this year, and we may show the new Fed ship at NYCC.
I'd doubt we'd do the Botany Bay in any format, at least not any time soon.
