After the demise of Eaglemoss, the likelihood of new Star Trek starship models looked slim. FanHome, which took over the license and (I’m assuming the dies and related materials), has just announced today that they will be relaunching the Star Trekstarship collection starting with ships from Picard.

These include the gorgeous Enterprise-G and Enterprise-F (not so gorgeous…but that’s just me), Stargazer and Titan, as well as Eleos, and Shrike from season 3. Subscribers also garner exclusive gifts — a dedication plaque, a USS Eaves starship, and the like. For me, being a Strange New Worlds fan, the big announcement is Farragut, NCC-1647 from that show. Right now, it looks like the focus will be on the current or most recently broadcast shows, rather than the older series.

They are supposedly starting shipping in November this year with USS Titan, and will be following the Eaglemoss ship a month plan, with every four ships being an XL style (at ten bucks more than the regular). So, if you’re a fan of the new shows and want to see new ships — jump on it.
If the quality is the same as Eaglemoss, the standard sized ships are typically on the small side. I found them overpriced and I’m sure this will hold. Much of this is, I suspect, licensing fees. The XL models, on the other hand, were pretty darned good. The Discovery and the Battlestar Galactica XL ships were detailed, and the bigger size really made them pop. They’re more expensive, but there I thought they were more worth the price.
