It’s a holiday weekend in the United States, but before we take a break for the long weekend, we’ve got a roundup of the latest Star Trek merchandise news to bring you this Saturday afternoon!
First up? New licensee Hiya Toys is adding onto its first Star Trek action figure outing by bringing both versions of the Kelvin Timeline’s Spock to play.
After debuting their James T. Kirk and Dr. McCoy figures last month, the company is now expanding their offerings with Spock (based upon Zachary Quinto’s character) and Prime Spock (based upon Leonard Nimoy’s role) — each designed like their appearance in the 2009 Trek film.
Each Spock figure is available for preorder now at the Hiya Toys website for $24.99; Spock is expected to ship in the first quarter of 2024, with Prime Spock to follow next Spring.

Next, EXO-6 continues to explore the 1:6-scale Star Trek universe with the newest villain from the final frontier: Commander Kruge from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Based upon actor Christopher Lloyd’s character from the third Trek feature film, EXO-6’s first Klingon release includes the alien warrior’s iconic Klingon Defense Force uniform in all its intricate details, measuring 12.5 inches all and including a removable cloak, rooted hair, a Klingon disruptor and communicator, and multiple hands to support each accessory.
EXO-6’s Kruge figure is available for preorder now for $295 (plus shipping), and is projected to ship in the second quarter of 2024.

First announced back in April, UK-based model and toy manufacturer Corgi UK is moving forward with their return to the Star Trek licensed product game.
Starting off with the two most predictable starship offerings, Corgi will be selling 20cm models of the Constitution-class USS Enterprise and the Galaxy-class USS Enterprise-D.
While the ships (and potential future Trek offerings) will be available to ship to fans in the UK and many other international regions, Corgi does not currently have a distribution license to the United States or Canada — so for now, these ships will be out of reach to collectors in North America.
If you’re in one of the regions where Corgi can ship, however, you can preorder each ship now for £54.99 ahead of an expected “Winter 2023/2024” delivery.

Finally, Insight Editions is reviving the Star Trek advent calendar for 2023 — following Eaglemoss in 2021 and Numskull in 2022 (that one still available) — with a new Enterpise-D shuttlecraft-themed box for the upcoming holiday season.
Instead of a full month’s worth of hidden gifts, this calendar pack is scheduled for a 12-day Christmas countdown — and covers most eras of the Trek franchise, including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Discovery, Lower Decks, and more.
The gallery above has a spoiler image of all 13 gifts if you want to see what’s packed inside; along with the small gifts, each shuttle also comes with a signed Trek art print from artist Ryan Dening.
Available for preorder now at $150, the box is said to have items valued at “more than $250.” This advent calendar will ship to collectors after September 12.
