Back in April we brought you the first details about FanWraps’ upcoming Star Trek Nanoforce ‘army men’-style toys, and we’ve now got some good looks at the style and design of the Original Series and Next Generation figures due out later this year!
The Star Trek Nanoforce line began life as a concept which Fourth Castle’s Joe Sena pitched back in 2014, with these rough sketches — shared exclusively with TrekCore — as the classic Trek characters and a generic army of Borg drones started the ball rolling.
While it took several years for the product to beam down — when Nick Murray at FanWraps secured the license, partnering with Fourth Castle to get it off the drawing board — the new Next Generation and Original Series sets will each finally make it to stores in November (after originally being projected for a summer 2021 debut).
The “gaming-miniature quality” Star Trek: The Original Series Nanoforce and Star Trek: The Next Generation Nanoforce sets will each include twelve character figures (2″ tall), one starship model (4″ long), and an 11″x17″ foldout map for display use — and each set will retail at $24.95.
Along with a model of the original Enterprise, The classic Star Trek set includes Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Scotty, Lt. Sulu, and Lt. Uhura from the Enterprise crew — with the Gorn, a Talosian, an Andorian, the Salt Vampire, a Romulan, and of course a Klingon making up the alien adversary lineup.
The Next Generation set includes all seven regular crew — Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lt. Commander Data, Lt. Commander La Forge, Lt. Worf, Dr. Crusher, and Counselor Troi — along with a Klingon, a Cardassian, a Romulan, a Borg drone, and of course Q.
Each set will come with the hero starship of the respective series; while we don’t yet have images of the original Enterprise, the 4-inch Enterprise-D included with the Next Gen set looks fairly well-detailed — and the play sets will also include 11″ x 17″ fold-out Enterprise starship blueprints to display each set of figures.
Each of the Star Trek Nanoforce sets are due out this November, with each box running for $24.99 — and you can preorder them at Big Bad Toy Store today ahead of their autumn debut if you’re planning to bring this collection of minifigs to your own Starfleet task force!
