EMvTW Extra 36 - Reman Scorpion Attack Flier Starship

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

In July 2022, Eaglemoss' bankruptcy brought an end to my review writing... or so I thought.  There were several unreleased models that I thought I would never get to see or review.  But then a company called Master Replicas purchased the rights to the remaining stock and suddenly, those "lost" models have slowly come to market.  Being the completionist that I believe myself to be, I have been buying those models.  This next model excited me immensely as it allowed me to bring back a feature of my reviews that I have not been able to do in a long time.  I'll talk more about that in a minute, but for now, here is the Reman Scorpion Fighter.

What you see pictured here are Eaglemoss' model and the 2003 Hallmark ornament.  We first get to see this ship in the movie "Star Trek Nemesis" (2002).

EMvTW Special 30 - Caretaker's Array

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

Eleven months ago (July 2022), I posted a link to an article that talked about Eaglemoss going into what we call in the United States, a Bankruptcy.  On August 5th, 2022, the rumors became true and I came to realize that my collecting of Eaglemoss models had ended.  There were rumors that some models were produced but never released, and we might get a chance at purchasing these "lost models", but I am a firm believer of "I'll believe it when I see it."  And so I quietly retired from writing reviews, thinking that I'll never get my hands on anything new.

Enter Master Replicas and Real Merch, two UK based companies that managed to acquire Eaglemoss' stockpile of models from around the world.  As models have become available for purchase through these sites, it has been a feeding frenzy trying to get one's hands on certain models.  Lucky for me, I am only after a select few ships and stations, and it seems that my competition for those items wasn't as fierce.

And so, it was with great excitement that while on a camping trip, I was able to purchase the Caretaker's Array and not be gouged by Internet (eBay) Scalpers.  It was a bittersweet moment as I added the second non-human space station to my collection.



We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Caretaker".

EMvTW Special 29 - Ty'Gokor Orbital Facility

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

Rewrites: None

I was never a big fan of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.  I didn't watch it when it first aired and ran through the entire series, and I didn't watch it in reruns.  It wasn't until about five or six years ago that I finally sat down and binge watched it just to get a handle on it.  It still isn't my thing, but to each thier own.  It is because of my lack of knowledge of the series that when Eaglemoss announced this next station, that I at first thought there was some sort of mistake being made.  I was like, "What is this thing?"  But, it appears that Eaglemoss has decided to bring us a non-human space station in the form of a Special Edition release.  And so, we now can add the Ty'Gokor Orbital Facility to our crowded space station display shelves.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode called "Apocalypse Rising".

EMvTW Extra 35 - Hierarchy Assault Ship (Assault Class)

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

Rewrites: None

The last of the Shop Exclusive models that I recently received from Eaglemoss is an interesting design. It is sometimes hard to tell what you are looking at when browsing the Eaglemoss WebStore, so I wasn't sure what to expect with the Hierarchy Assault Ship model .

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy" and then again in the episode called "The Void".

EMvTW Extra 34 - Klingon D-5 Class Tanker (AKA Korok's Ship)

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

Rewrites: None

The next bonus/extra model, or what is now being called Shop Exclusive, to come out of Eaglemoss' Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection is a rehash of a previous Eaglemoss model.  Let us take a look at the Klingon D-5 Class Tanker.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode called "Marauders".

EMvTW Special 28 - Jupiter Station

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

Rewrites: None

The next model up for my review is one that I have been anxiously awaiting for months to get my hands on.  I was super excited when I found out that they were doing this one, even with it being a Special Edition sized model.  I am speaking of the very odd looking, and even more oddly displayed Jupiter Station.

While the station is mentioned lots of times across several series, we first get to see this place in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Life Line".

EMvTW Extra 33 - Talarian Observation Craft (Q'Maire class)

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

Rewrites: None

Next up in what I'm calling the wallet crushing rush of models from Eaglemoss is the Talarian Observation Craft, also known as the Q'Maire class.



We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode called "Suddenly Human".

EMvTW Extra 32 - Nomad MK-15c (NSSDC ID: 2002-045b)

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

Rewrites: None

We haven't received a new Eaglemoss model under the "Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection" line of models since February 2022.  Finally, after waiting for two months, Eaglemoss released six new models in rapid successions.  While my wallet is certainly hurting from that, it is still exciting to be back in the review saddle again.  The first of these models that we will look at is the Nomad MK-15c Space Probe.

We first get to see this probe in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode called "The Changeling".

EMvTW Extra 31 - Kazon Carrier (Predator Class)

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

Rewrites: None

Eaglemoss continues to produce new models under the "Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection" label, and the next Shop Exclusive, which I call Bonus Edition or Extra Edition models, is a much wished for model.  Many collectors have lamented that they wanted to see more Kazon ships in the collection, and so Eaglemoss has granted that wish in the form of the Predator Class carrier.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Caretaker".

EMvTW Extra 30 - Steth's Coaxial Starship

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

Rewrites: None

I was sad when Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection came to an end at issue #180.  I truly thought we were done with seeing models from the my favorite TV series that had been covered in the this line of ships.  I especially felt that there were still a few more ships that could be done to complete the collection.  Then, Eaglemoss surprised us all, and continued releasing models as Special Edition and Shop Exclusives, which I personally call, the Bonus Edition models.  These new models do take a while to be released between the time they are put up for pre-order and the time we actually get them.  For example, this next model up for review was purchased by me through the US WebStore back in September 2021, and here we are in February 2022. 

So, without any further delay, here is Steth's Coaxial Starship.

We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Vis à Vis".

EMvTW SC08 - Shuttlecraft Collection Set 8

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

Rewrites: None

Eaglemoss continues to produce ships under thier "Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection" label.  I have been making pre-order purchases of these ships as soon as they go online, and then wait patiently for a few months for them to come to the United States.  This has been the new norm when it comes to collecting under that "Finished" line of models, but in some cases, the wait is worth it.

The latest Shuttlecraft Collection went up for pre-order in the United states back September 2021, and I just received my set in February 2022.  I truly believe though that this set was worth that wait for several reasons.

First and foremost, this set differs from the previous seven sets in that this one contains all alien, and no Starfleet (Terran) ships.

The set consists of four smaller than Standard Edition sized models, with accompanying half height magazines and something called Okudagrams.

EMvTW SC06 - Shuttlecraft Collection Set 6

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

Rewrites: NONE YET

It has been a little while, but here we are again, departing from the regular lineup of Standard Edition, Special Edition and Bonus Edition models.  This time around, we are reviewing the Shuttlecraft Collection Set #6.  This review is going to also differ from others that I typically write, in that it will cover four different Eaglemoss models in one article.

For our next Eaglemoss vs. The World review, we are going to depart from the regular lineup of Standard Edition, Special Edition and Bonus Edition models.  This review is going to also differ from others that I typically write, in that it will cover four different Eaglemoss models in one article.  This is because, this time around, we are reviewing the Shuttlecraft Collection Set 5.

EMvTW 95: USS Kyushu NCC-65491 (New Orleans class)

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

And bringing up the rear from November's Eaglemoss vs. The World purchases is the USS Kyushu (NCC-65491), a New Orleans class ship that we sort of get to see in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode titled, "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II".

EMvTW 94: Suliban Cell Ship (Spherical Variant)

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

Next up in my Eaglemoss Vs. The World Series, is the Suliban Cell Ship (Spherical Variant).  We were first introduced to these types of ships in the Star Trek: Enterprise pilot episode "Broken Bow"

EMvTW 93: ECS Horizon (J-Class)

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

It has been a while since we reviewed a freighter, in fact, I forgot that this type of freighter even existed.  So let us now take a look at the ECS Horizon, a J-Class Freighter, which we were introduced to in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode titled "Fortunate Son".

EMvTW 92: Medusan Ship

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

Next up in my Eaglemoss vs. The World series is a small and single entry.  I bring you the Medusan Diplomatic ship that we are introduced to in the remastered version of the Star Trek: The Original Series episode titled "Is There in Truth No Beauty?"

EMvTW 91: USS Saratoga (NCC-31911) (Miranda Class)

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

Lately, when I have an Eaglemoss model to review, I normally don't have anything else to compare it to.  Especially when it comes to pre-built and pre-painted models.  That is technically the same case with this next model. the USS Saratoga, a Miranda Class Variant that we are introduced to very briefly in the Star Trek: Deespace Nine series premiere episode titled, "Emissary".

My current collection of this ship consists of the Eaglemoss model, an AMT (Round 2) model that I built, and a slightly inaccurate MicroMachine.

EMvTW 90: Romulan Scout Ship (Lanora Class)

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

November was another good month for me financially, so I was able to do some more catching up on the Eaglemoss collection.

First up for this month's reviews is the Romulan Scout Ship that we were first introduced to in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode titled "The Defector".

My collection of this ship consists of the Eaglemoss model and a very dusty MicroMachines version.

EMvTW 89: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-J (Universe Class)

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

The last review that I have from this/last month's purchases of Eaglemoss models is the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-J as was seen in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode titled "Azati Prime".

Per this Memory Alpha LINK and Memory Beta LINK, this type of ship was classified as a Universe Class and "was a Federation starship class, a multi-mission explorer in Starfleet service in the 26th century."  The Enterprise J was a massive vessel, around 2 miles in length, and we only get a brief glimpse of her in that episode.  You can read more about the Enterprise J at the following Memory Alpha and Memory Beta links.
