Life is weird. Quite a few months ago, I had to stop writing the Eaglemoss vs The World reviews, because of a lot of (bad, then good) life changes, and I just didn't have the time to do this. Then in October, the models started flowing in from Eaglemoss again, after Eaglemoss had to take almost a six month pandemic induced (manufacturing and then shipping delayed) hiatus. I panicked. How was I going to catch up, and deal with the extra influx of models? So I started squeezing in the time around work and raising an infant, and low an behold, I managed to review FOURTEEN Eaglemoss models in just over a month. That's a record for me. I hope you readers have enjoyed the whirlwind ride as well.
This review marks the fact that I have officially caught up again with what has been released in the Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection. At least, the ones that I am willing to purchase and add to the collection. Remember, I don't collect the XL line, nor will I buy any of the Gold plated models. For this review, we are looking at a very interesting Bonus (or Extra as I call them) Edition model, the USS Valiant (NCC-6089), which was derived from the concept art during the design of the USS Defiant (NX-74205).
We never get to see this ship on screen, except accidentally via a Okudogram on the Defiant during one episode. The mistake was immediately corrected, and this ship is forever relegated to the non-cannon status.
