Newly-minted Star Trek licensee Factory Entertainment made their first foray in to the final frontier at ToyFair 2019 this past weekend, as the California-based company showcased its upcoming Trek products in New York City.
The company has been producing tie-in products for the Game of Thrones, Jurassic Park, and James Bond franchises for some time, and will be expanding into the Star Trek realm starting in early 2019 with a line of “Kuzos”-branded die-cast metal sculptures.
Set to be priced around $10 each upon release, the first prototypes showcased at their booth — measuring about 3″ tall each — include Captain Kirk’s command chair, the Nomad probe, a Horta, and a Star Trek: Discovery phaser.
Also coming in 2019 are a set of vinyl character figures the company has branded “Revos,” constructed on convex bases so that they can’t be knocked over when on display. The company has a few sets of these “Revos” figures already for sale from other properties; the Captain Kirk and Gorn versions they featured at ToyFair are expected to retail for around $15 each.
For the animal lover, a Star Trek version of Factory Entertainment’s “Pawzplay” plush dog dolls are also set to arrive later this year, with prototypes representing Captain Kirk, Lieutenant Uhura, Captain Picard, and Lt. Commander Data showcased at the expo.
No pricing was set for these, but other “Pawzplay” products in their webstore look to be somewhere in the $15-$20 range.
Something that got us excited was the company’s plans to expand in to Trek desktop diorama sculptures — a product line they have already started with Batman ’66, Game of Thrones, and Jurassic Park recreations as pictured above — so we’re looking forward to what familiar Trek settings might come out of their efforts down the line.
Along with these featured items from their ToyFair display, the company also plans to roll out Star Trek-themed keychains, bottle openers, and other products as we move further in to 2019 — and as these new releases head to stores, we’ll bring you more details as we have them.
