We first encountered Factory Entertainment as a new Star Trek licensee back in early 2019, where they were showing off some prospective new products at that year’s ToyFair expo.
They’ve started to roll out a few products since then — small-scale replicas of Original Series items, as well as a Discovery phaser — and today they’ve announced some more additions to their small-but-growing line of Star Trek barware accessories: new themed bottle stoppers for classic Trek fans, set to ship this summer.
The first new addition is a set of classic Starfleet delta stoppers, with appropriate departmental colors and division symbols in place; we got to see the three-pack at 2020’s ToyFair event (see the photo above!) and they do have a nice pop of color.
The three-pack is available to order now for $39.99.
In addition, the first starship stopper has arrived — the original USS Enterprise — which has been produced in a mirror-finish design, representing the classic five year mission of Captain Kirk and crew.
The Enterprise stopper is available to order now at $19.99.
While the Original Series is the theme of today’s announcements, the company showed off several additional barware items in development when we visited them at February’s ToyFair event — which seems like a million years ago! — including starship stoppers based on the Enterprise-D and Klingon battle cruiser, as well as a Next Generation-era Type I phaser bottle opener (to join their already-available Original Series phaser).
No news on any of these teased products yet, but once we hear more about them we’ll be sure to let you know!
