We’ve got more news today about what to expect from Star Trek licensees at San Diego Comic Con next week — our friends over at Eaglemoss will be on site featuring not only some of their recently-announced Trek starships, but offering fans a look ahead to the rest of their 2018 slate as well.
Here’s their official announcement:
EAGLEMOSS SAILS INTO SAN DIEGO WITH NEW SHIPS, NEW BUSTS, NEW COLLECTIONS AND A BOATLOAD OF BUNDLES!
(July 11, 2018 – New York, NY) – After a record-breaking showing in 2017, Eaglemoss Hero Collector, designers, manufacturers and publishers of high-quality collectibles from across the world of pop culture, are back at Comic-Con International: San Diego and bigger than ever!
Fans will be able to start or add to their collections – as well as purchase outstanding gifts for the fans in their lives – with special prices throughout the convention at Booth #3249, beginning Wednesday, July 18 through Sunday, July 22 at the San Diego Convention Center. They’ll also be among the first to get a look at some of Eaglemoss’ most exciting new releases.
After the tremendous success of Season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery, Eaglemoss is now gearing up for season 2 with a preview of two soon-to-be released ships from the Star Trek: Discovery Official Starships Collection – the U.S.S. Europa and one of the few Vulcan designs seen in the series so far, the Vulcan Cruiser.
Fans in attendance will also be among the first to get their hands on two recent additions to Eaglemoss’ line of Star Trek Starships XL Editions – the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A and the U.S.S. Defiant NX-74205, Starfleet’s first true warship. On display, but not yet available for purchase, will be the next pair of XL Editions due to be released in Q4 of 2018 – the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B and the Miranda-class U.S.S. Reliant.
Visitors will also get a first look at two new Bonus ships from the original Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection – Rick Sternbach’s U.S.S. Voyager Concept and the Klingon Bird-of-Prey (Landing Position).
At their SDCC Booth (#3249), the company will be showcasing the next entries in their Star Trek: Discovery model collection: the new Klingon Bird of Prey, the USS Europa and the Vulcan Cruiser introduced in “Lethe” last season.
We’ve already got our hands on Issue #3 (the USS Kerala) and Issue #4 (the Bird of Prey), so be sure to watch for our review of those ships soon!
In addition, Eaglemoss will also have on display the newest additions to their XL Starships line of larger Trek models. The USS Enterprise-A (which we reviewed last month) and the USS Defiant (which we’ll be reviewing shortly!) will be available to purchase on site; targeted for release later in 2018 will be the Enterprise-B and Miranda-class USS Reliant.
Last for the starships, the first preview models from April’s announced special-issue vessels will be on display, including the Rick Sternbach-designed USS Voyager prototype, and the ‘landing position’ variant of the classic Klingon Bird of Prey.
Eaglemoss will be running a daily giveaways on site in San Diego, with convention attendees given the chance to win these Trek model bundles throughout the week:

Besides all the model starships, Eaglemoss will also be offering the first public view of their upcoming Star Trek character bust collection as well, with four creations from the Original Series and The Next Generation at their SDCC booth for fan review.
Rounding out Eaglemoss’ Star Trek presence is perhaps their most exciting news yet – the all-new Official Star Trek Collector’s Busts. This new collection features the iconic captains of Starfleet and other memorable characters from over 50 years of Star Trek TV and movie history, capturing them in impressive detail with highly accurate likenesses, uniforms and props.
These hand-painted polyresin busts are 4.5 to 6” tall, come complete with a fact-filled magazine, and form an essential addition to any Star Trek collection. On display at SDCC for the first time anywhere will be four fan favorites – Kirk, Spock, Worf and Data.
We don’t have details on pricing or availability for these busts, but we’ll be sure to share that information when it becomes available.
