TOMY International has announced a crowd-funding campaign for a meticulously crafted 1:350 scale model of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, marking a significant moment for Star Trek memorabilia collectors and enthusiasts. The pre-order window for this highly anticipated collectible opens on August 1, 2024, and runs through September 12, 2024, offering fans a unique opportunity to own what TOMY claims will be the definitive version of the iconic starship.
This large-scale model, measuring an impressive 34.29" x 16.00" x 11.15" and weighing 20 pounds, is set to become the crown jewel of any Star Trek collection. The model's significance is underscored by its unprecedented level of accuracy and attention to detail, achieved through collaboration with noted Star Trek experts, including Gary Kerr. The use of color-changing interference paints and detailed interiors, along with lighting features that bring the Enterprise to life, sets this model apart from any previous replicas.
Priced at $699 USD, the crowd-funded project aims to reach a goal of 5,000 pieces before production begins in the fall. The TOMY Plus U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 starship is scheduled for delivery to buyers in October 2025, offering fans a must-have piece of Star Trek history. This initiative not only caters to the devoted fanbase but also sets a new benchmark for collectible starship models in the industry.
