Did I hear that the Ent D saucer will be held on by magnets? Can that work?

42: “We also need a Klingon D7.”

Yep!!! Your post number is the ultimate answer, and you made the ultimate demand.

Spockboy#45… Great job! Your caricature captures much more of the Leonard Nimoyedness of Mr. Spock than the Diamond Select toy does. Fantastic paint job too!

The ultimate Spock looks ultimately ugly to me

Will the Enterprise D have a constant on feature for the lights like the TOS Enterprise? That is a regret I have about the TWOK E and the Enterprise E from AA/DST. You can bust open the ships and rig the electronics so that the lights function will stay on, but who wants to have to do that?

Ah yes, AA/DST announced release dates. As a rule of thumb, always add at least six months to whenever they say they will be shipping something. EVERYTHING I have ordered from them has followed this pattern. The tricorder was supposed to ship this month and now they say it will be January. The D is supposed to come out in December so I am expecting it to come out in June.

Thanks for the article, John.

What #4 said, if only in his comment to the refit ENTERPRISE from ST:TMP.

Actually, what I’d love to see is a unified scale “Engineer’s Desk Reference” series, with eventually all the known ships from the Federation.

(I’m probably in the minority here, but I’m really, really tired of the Klingon Bird of Prey.)

SPOCKBOY#45- WOW! Good job! Depending on how long it took for you to scupt that and the materials involved in its creation, you could probably sell those on ebay, my dear, and get quite a few customers.

With deepest regrets I have to say that their sculptor sucks.
Even if he/she is taking a more “stylized” approach, both Kirk and Spock look like they could be related and in truth, Shatner and Nimoy couldn’t look any more different from each other.

I sculpted Spock myself a few years ago for a cartoon.I don’t know if I pulled it off but I tried really hard to capture that mysterious all knowing Spock glance.

Wow! It took more than a month for an update in this section. Plenty of confirmed news was out there for those who know where to find it.

I would order the super-size Spock and Kirk if they looked anything like my guys. It looks as if the persons responsible for the likenesses went by the TAS likenesses instead of the actors themselves. As commented above, perhaps it does have something to do with image licensing. In any event, they are sure to lose customers as a result.

They also forgot to have Spock tuck his pantlegs into his boots.
