Master Replicas, Hiya Toys Launch New Star Trek Preorders
In today's STAR TREK merchandise roundup, we've Mariner and Worf joining Master Replica's action figure lineup, and a new TREK '09 electronic Enterprise from Hiya Toys!
Odd choice of enterprise. The cheapest one to license maybe?
Hiya Toys is pushing their Kelvin line pretty hard, though they also have the license for some SNW stuff - there's an Anson Mount Pike figure available.
What the fuck Enterprise is that? It looks awful.
Per the article,
This brand new REPLICAart Series U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 figure […] is based on the iconic design from the 2009 film, Star Trek, meticulously replicates the NCC-1701’s appearance and intricate details.
My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.
The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.
How odd. I just watched that a couple weeks ago but don’t remember it looking that… bubbly
ikr, out of all the ones to choose from. They chose poorly.
