A few photos of the recently released pre-order Corgi U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.
It’s a well detailed model, and comes with a display stand in the shape of the Star Fleet Delta Emblem.
It’s all packed into a deluxe box with a brief summary about the history of the Enterprise and each of it’s three different Captains on the inside of the lid.
Corgi have also released an Enterprise D die-cast model, and have future plans to release more ships from the worlds of Star Trek.
Stop Press: Kevin D commented he once owned a Corgi original 40th Anniversary version. This was pretty much the same as the reissue apart from a different display stand and packaging.
Intrigued by this I found a few photos of one on-line. Credit to the original photographer.
Looks good Scoop.
ReplyDeleteHow much is it ?
It's £54.99 direct from Corgi, Mish.
DeleteThis is a beautiful model of an iconic spaceship design! I assume die-cast? Very pretty! SFZ
ReplyDeleteYep, it's die-cast, Zigg.
DeleteIs it different to the one they released years ago?
ReplyDeleteI assume you mean the Dinky one, Kev. To be fair that was was more toy than model. This Corgi one is very much a display model
DeleteNo, Corgi did one like this but packaging was different. I bought one in 2017 but don't have it anymore. There's a picture of it on the blog somewhere with my dinky police box!
ReplyDeleteAh, I see Kev. I don't remember it. Corgi does say this is a reissue, though.
DeleteI did have a quick look on line and found a 40th Anniversary Ltd edition version which looks the same apart from a different display stand, and different packaging of course.
What happened to yours?
I downsized my collection when I upsized my Enterprise to the huge Polar Lights kit!
ReplyDeleteI see. I've got the Polar Lights kit myself sitting on the 'to build' shelf.;D
DeleteOh wow! At first glance I thought it was a screen grab from the show! Awesome photography of one of THE most iconic spaceships ever.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ed.
DeleteThat's very enterprising Scoop! Looks ace!
ReplyDeleteI have the earlier one. It is very like the Enterprise here:
