We’re just a week away from New York Comic Con, the last big convention event of the year here in the United States, and our friends over at Eaglemoss Hero Collector have announced their plans for the October event, including their first convention-exclusive Star Trek product of the year.
Based out of Booth #737 on the Javits Center convention floor, EHC will have a number of models from The Official Starships Collection on sale for the first time for US purchases, including the variant Borg-assimilated USS Voyager from “Scorpion, Part II,” the XL-sized USS Excelsior (as seen in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), and the Reman battleship Scimitar which faced off with the crew of the Enterprise-E in Star Trek: Nemesis.
There will also be a special NY Comic Con-exclusive model available only on the show floor this year, a special “cloaked” edition of Captain Sisko’s USS Defiant battleship, produced from a transparent resin material. (We don’t have any product photos yet but we’ll make sure to share them once in hand!)
In addition to the new models arriving in New York City, the team will also be offering a special NYCC-exclusive variant of the recently-published Star Trek: Year Five #6 comic with cover art based upon ECH model photography of the XL-sized USS Enterprise, with imagery by photographer Nils Walter Khan, who will be signing at the Hero Collector booth on Sunday, October 6 alongside Star Trek: Year Five writers Jody Houser, Jackson Lanzing, and Collin Kelly.
On top of all that, Hero Collector will also be hosting a panel for their entire line of products on Thursday, October 3 — at 11AM in Room 1B03 — which will include “special guests” as well as “details on upcoming releases,” according to their announcement.
We’ll bring you all the details from their event, including any new product announcements, as soon as we know them!
Outside of the NY Comic Con floor, Eaglemoss boss Ben Robinson will be having a special presentation and signing on Friday, October 4 at the Barnes & Noble bookstore on East 17th Street, where he will be in conversation with Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard production designer Todd Cherniawsky, along with introducing the next round of Eaglemoss Star Trek book publications.
This is a ticketed event which requires a book purchase to attend; the full details and ticket pricing options are available through EventBrite.
