I like Eaglemoss, but this is really more like what I had in mind. I hope these go on to cover all of the other Star Trek Series and Movies!

Oooh, hope the action arms come off.  These might go well with the Micro Machines.

The proportions on the actual pictured models look a bit off, but these are interesting. Love seeing stuff from new companies.

$7.99 each! 3''-5'' - these look like 3D printer protos. They are working on proportions and paint jobs still. Not a replacement for the detail of Eaglemoss but could be fun ships to collect. And they are supposed to be at major retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc.

Some more pictures there.

 

Every ship looks good except for Discovery, which looks good from the top and bottom, but horrid from the sides.

I dont see these as a replacement for Eaglemoss either but they certainly fill the spot left empty in the absence oh Micro Machines. I would really love for these to go as deep into the subject as Eaglemoss though. I love durable plastic mini ships. They are not only easy to collect but also easier to display. With the suction cup display base, I just know that I will have at least one starship displayed on the windshield of my SUV warping every where I go! I hope they will cover all the series like I said so that can be the original Enterprise!

I’d love to do something like that with Voyager or Prometheus if those got made.

If they fixed Discovery, I’d settle for that since that design has grown on me quite a bit.

They would be nice for a computer screen or for car windows with those ball joint stands. Btw the packaging reminds me of the box art of the toys from the upcoming 'Solo' movie in may.

Apparently the branding on the packaging is from CBS as it's being carried over to new model kits and the McFarlane figures, too. I'm... undecided about it, to be honest. Some of the elements are a bit too fiddly.

Nice to see new stuff but the toy like sculpt doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, feels like we've moved on from those days but then I guess these are aimed at a different market/price point.

 

That said, love seeing the little Europa, the EM model of that is going to be brilliant.

Has there been any more information on these? I was hoping SDCC or Los Vegas Star Trek Convention would have had something. Im curios about when these will start showing up.
