This year’s Destination: Star Trek convention in Dortmund, Germany kicks off today and as always Eaglemoss is there with a retail booth for local fans to check out their Official Starships Collection model line — and some previews of upcoming releases due later this year.
Eaglemoss director Ben Robinson has been showcasing some of the upcoming releases from their Star Trek: Discovery series, along with some exclusives planned for subscribers to the program, on Twitter today, starting with the Shepard-class USS Kerala, due around September, as the Discovery series takes a break for the summer.
Here’s the retail preview image featuring another angle:
Also on display is the Discovery-era Klingon Bird of Prey model, in a first public viewing:
Robinson also revealed for the first time some exclusive Discovery products only available to subscribers to Eaglemoss’ model programs, starting with the ISS Shenzhou, a relabeled edition of the first starship in the series (which we reviewed back in February).
Eaglemoss has a history of using existing model builds and relabeling them for the Mirror Universe, as they’ve done with the Constitution-class Enterprise, the Enterprise NX-01, and Ben Sisko’s USS Defiant.
Additional subscriber-only materials will include a Tardigrade figurine, ship scale comparison posters, and ship dedication plaques, including these “not-quite-final” USS Shenzhou and USS Discovery plaque recreations:
Finally, Robinson teased the forthcoming Discovery version of Captain Pike’s USS Enterprise, featured on the convention booth’s poster artwork. The ship itself is not expected to be available from Eaglemoss for some time, as production could not begin until after it debuted in the February Discovery season finale, but this gives some additional views of the digital model.
