Gentle Giant Studios, a company which specializes in 3D scanning and prototype construction, first came onto the Star Trek scene back in the summer of 2017 with their wildly impressive recreation of the Klingon Torchbearer seen at San Diego Comic Con.
Now, in a new announcement released last night, they are launching a subdivision called Gentle Giant Toys, and included in their first wave of new products are a set of Discovery model ships called “Fleet Flyers.”
Boldly GO!… AND take your favorite ships from Starfleet with you! From the runaway hit TV series Star Trek: Discovery comes Gentle Giant’s Fleet Flyers! Relive your favorite space battles or explore the outer reaches of the quadrant with these replica spacecraft that have appeared in the new season of Star Trek: Discovery.
Each vessel is sculpted using actual digital models from the show, capturing every detail of each unique ship from both the Federation, the Klingon Empire and the yet unknown! Each ship comes packed with an articulated arm stand and suction cup so they can be attached to any smooth, flat surface for display!
Features: Screen accurate ship designs; deluxe, articulated suction cup armature so you can recreate your favorite epic space battles.
The product image above is subject to change and is still pending CBS final approval, but from what is shown it looks like these could be an interesting new source of Trek starships. There’s no details as to the size of the ships or a projected retail cost available yet, but these seem like they may be on the smaller side, which could make them a lower-cost competitor to the Eaglemoss Discovery model line.
Gentle Giant will be on site at Toy Fair in New York City this weekend, where our team will be scouting out all the newest in Star Trek toy and product details — we’ll be sure to bring you all the details from Gentle Giant regarding their Star Trek: Discovery “Fleet Flyers” once we know more!
