EMvTW 132: Warship Voyager

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

I am happy to say that after 3 months, I have gotten a new job, which means that finances should be in order, and that should keep the reviews coming on a regular basis.  Unfortunately, the first two weeks of the new job were a bit exhausting and it's taken me until now to recuperate enough to want to write again.

With that being said, let us get going with the first of two new reviews, this one focusing on the Warship Voyager as it briefly appeared in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Living Witness".


This model marks the fourth variant that Eaglemoss has brought us of the USS Voyager in the standard sized line of models.

EMvTW Special 14: USS Kobayashi Maru ECS-1022 (Kobayashi Maru Type)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

In this review, we get to take a look at a rather exciting addition to the Special Edition line of Eaglemoss ships.  The USS Kobayashi Maru (ECS-1022), at least this version of the ship, is seen in a simulator in the movie Star Trek (2009).


I have to admit, while I am not normally excited about the NuTrek starships in the Special Edition lineup, this is one of those more iconic vessels that have a history in the franchise, but has never really been brought to life in a pre-built and pre-painted format.

EMvTW Extra 09: Klingon Bird of Prey (23rd Century, Landing Position)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Our next issue of Eaglemoss vs. The World series is the 23rd Century Klingon Bird Of Prey.


We are first introduced to this ship in the movie, "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" where... ummm...

Whoah!  Deja vu!!!

Well, it looks like Eaglemoss has decided to pull a trifecta and give us the 23rd Century Bird Of Prey one last time.  However, since they already gave us the BOP in the "Cruising Mode" (read that review at THIS LINK) and the BOP in the "Attack Mode" (read that review at THIS LINK), they have decided to round off that part of the collection with the BOP in "Landing Mode".

I will say that I am glad that Eaglemoss went the route of releasing this model as a limited edition "Extra" model instead of sneaking it into the Standard collection like they did back in Issue 107.  Not everyone is going to want this ship in this configuration, so it is nice that they didn't force it on the subscribers.
