Each of the eight action figures features 14 points of articulation and is packaged in either 1990s nostalgic packaging or newly designed Star Trek Universe blister card packaging, depending on the character. All action figures look a lot like their respective inspiration, thanks to Playmates’ attention to brand detail and authentic portrait sculpting.

Since the toy line’s launch, many action figures have been added to the collection, including action figures of Star Trek: Prodigy characters.

Ships

The new Star Trek Playmates Toys collection also includes mini models of two of the most popular ships from the sci-fi property: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D).

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701): Playmates Toys’ highly detailed USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) replica features lights, multiple sounds, and phrases from the very first Star Trek TV series. Measuring approximately 18 inches long, the starship replica comes with a sleek display base and is showcased in nostalgic packaging reminiscent of the 1990s.

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D): This model measures a respectable 15 inches, making it a substantial presence on any shelf or display. The design boasts precise sculpting, accurately reflecting the Galaxy-class ship’s intricate lines and textures. From the intricate warp nacelles to the subtle paneling, it’s a faithful representation of the Enterprise we know and love.

Released in 2023, the toy replica isn’t just a static model, as it comes alive with vibrant lights and authentic sound effects. Dual light-up engines add a captivating glow, while various buttons activate iconic sounds like phasers firing, warp drive engaging, and even Captain Picard’s iconic “Engage!” command.
