Eaglemoss RIP
 

Interesting discussion for collectors. I always had good experience with Eaglemoss. I would have bought more, if only the Star Trek franchise in particular would stop approving ugly ship designs.

Hero Collector Star Trek Ship Models Relaunching Through Master Replicas; Site Goes Live Sunday (TrekMovie.com, 17-Mar-2023)

Somewhat on topic, I found a cool resource with nice screenshots of all the ships seen in drydock at the Fleet Museum in a recent episode of Star Trek: Picard.

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

Picard (the series) has been an absolute delight, IMO, far superior to the other crud cranked out recently by the franchise.

Surely, some of the new ship designs seen in this show must be in the queue for a future release by whoever takes the place of Eaglemoss...?

Master Replicas has a promotion underway, including some new ships.

The new Trek series certainly aren't moving any merchandise. It would seem, they have the exact opposite effect.

Revealed: What Eaglemoss Had Planned For Stargate Ships (c/o Gateworld.net, 13 May 2023)

Former "Hero Collector" product director Ben Robinson reveals what the company had planned for a full line of Stargate models.

IN BRIEF:

• Eaglemoss had an initial list of 10 Stargate ships at various stages of development when the company went out of business — including the F-302, Asgard mothership, Puddle Jumper, Wraith Dart, and Destiny.
• The company was also trying to figure out how to make a model Stargate that would be valuable to customers and profitable for the company.
• A yet undisclosed party may be in negotiations to resume producing the “Hero Collector” line in the future, including the Stargate ships.

Master Replicas has another release today:

I wonder if the title for this thread could be changed to Eaglemoss Updates, or Master Replicas Eaglemoss Ships, or something better than "RIP?"

I have been saying for a long time. That nutrek merchandise doesn't sell, yet a lot of these companies keep making it anyway, Hiya Toys is going to lose money on the kelvin timeline figures. They are better off making original series figures. As for the eaglemoss stuff I stopped collecting at issue 80 because I knew they were going to make every ship, even previously unseen and obscure ships. That is probably why they failed because they made too many of the ships that nobody really wanted. Plus they also decided to do other franchises at the exact same time. Stretching themselves thin to the point where they couldn't handle much of it.

I haven't followed the situation closely: this news came out a few months ago. I hope it's okay to include the blurb posted on Reddit, because the source link seems to have been taken down.

Fanhome to Return with New Starships This Fall with the Titan, Stargazer, and Farragut (Startrek.com, 19-Jun)
US$65.00 + shipping + duty for international orders seems like a lot. The replicas had better be done well.

If there's one thing that I learned from Eaglemoss, it's the importance of being discriminating. I don't want the vast majority of the stuff that we saw on-screen, but there were a few modifications of classic ship designs that looked interesting. I wish FanHome would poll fans on their favorite designs, but of course, that would be a short list.

Master Replicas is wrapping up a clearance sale of all their old Eaglemoss dreck. Sale ends tonight.

Of greater interest is the new release of a STARGATE! I thought for a long time that I would want this, but now that I see it and the way that they did it, I feel surprisingly disinterested -- especially for $US80.00. They could at least add some twinkly lights or something...!

Fanhome just put up their first listing, to be shipped in November: USS Titan as seen in Star Trek: Picard.

I'd like to see a variant with Motion Picture style nacelles.

They look cheap. Shame.

I take it back. These look pretty good. Titan sold out.
