I never saw any Prodigy figures either.
Not doing anything from Prodigy or Lower Decks was stupid, both shows were/are popular.

A good comparison of the Tomy 1/350 and the prebuilt Polar Lights one.

$600 for the Tomy vs $450 for the Polar Lights. The Tomy model blows it away, and for such a small difference in price.

good to hear I will get mine next week (hopefully) had to get it through a detour to a friend in the US as Tommy would not ship outside of the USA. so if they do more I do hope they update that policy at the very least....
Its a license issue, their Delorean is having the same issue. I doubt the next ship will be any different.

They're working on the next ship now, I'm assuming its one of the surveyed ships. So the D7, D, SNW Enterprise, or Refit. I only really have interest in the Refit or SNW Enterprise myself. Especially since I'm building the EM Enterprise D.
Hopefully we find out soon, I'd assume once the BTTF Delorean is further along we'll get more info on the next Trek ship.

Hopefully that means Playmates wont cancel the Protostar, or will uncancel it.

Bad old Facebook has the goods once again:
User Steve Habisch on Facebook has posted a bunch of photos of his own ship:
It looks just as bad as I feared, and just as good as I hoped in some areas.
The deflector is bizarre. It's like they conceptualised it upside-down. To my surprise, there is a very faintly molded torpedo tube in the neck, but without the long indent stretching back along the sides of the neck. The empty slot where the main impulse engine should be persists. And the lack of ventral phaser array on the saucer is bloody egregious.
That said, the overall shape is good. It feels less like a pudgy toddler than the 1993 one, but still evokes that toy a lot. The nacelles are maybe a bit long, but I'm not sure. I like the level of detail on the sculpted lines and greeblies throughout, though here and there they get stuff a little wrong or things are missing. It's a solid attempt, it just needed a few more QA passes on the sculpt. Paramount should have caught a lot of the issues I mentioned above in their approval reviews.
The buttons are quite unobtrusive in that location and I like that they moved away from the rounded ones on the prototype. These stand out far less.
Size Comparisons
It's smaller than the preview photo with the hand in frame indicated. It looks around the same size as the 1993 version compared to the DST model here.
The recent TOS Enterprise released is a good bit longer than it.
Lighting & Saucer Separation
The deflector does light up.
The nacelle lighting looks nice and even, and I think they have a second LED for the Bussard Collectors.
As feared, the cobra-head of the Secondary Hull is flat and blank. I don't get the impression that the Saucer has any play features.
I have rehosted all the photos I have found so far in an Imgur album. There are a good few more there than I have posted here.

Give us a SNW Enterprise for gods sake, the show has clearly been a success, as has Lower Decks, but god forbid you make something other than TOS or TNG.

A new ship would be great, but its not going to happen. Gotta keep remaking old shit over and over again.

Well, it's finally going to start shipping. Here are some pics of the finished production model that people who backed it will be getting.
Looks really good, part of me wishes I would have backed it but I ultimately don't have room, and am holding out for a SNW or Refit at similar size. When they were working on their BTTF Delorean 1/10 model, they did say the next Trek ship is in early stages of development.

Hopefully the image on the front is what the model actually looks like, with that azteking. Otherwise it still looks like shit.

It's Moopsy people, come on now.
The fact that there wasn't a Moopsy plush ready to go on the shop after the episode airs goes to show CBS/Paramount hates money.

Its ridiculous. They cancel the show when its second season was basically done, a show that as very well received. Just more stupidity from CBS/Paramount.

Love these, hope we get the whole crew.
