2013 Star Trek HOT WHEELS - Excelsior, Kelvin, Vengeance, BoP - Page 2

I was about to point out some added windows and details on the ship, until I saw the pic with the box showing the CG Enterprise without any of the model's new additions. Hmmm.

The box art doesn't really mean that much.

Hopefully hotwheels will release a Voyager, Defiant(ds9), and a K'Tinga Battlecruiser. I's also love to see some alternate registries, similar to the Reliant/Saratoga Repaints they did. (Hood, Galaxy perhaps?) I don't foresee them releasing ships like the Akira or the Equinox, I just don't see there being enough demand for them sadly.

All I can say is WOW!! I love that Enterprise model. But I also have no skill in model building so i will admire it from afar.

Interesting that the display sign in the background says...

"STAR TREK - The Original Series"

Somehow I can't wrap my mind around the incongruity of that...

Some more pics, click to get the big ones

I think I just had my very first nerdgasm!! I want this baby! My last model build was 1701-D. Like others my skills may have gone, but I just have to try...

Kruezerman · February 16 2013, 06:00 PM

She's very pretty.

Never noticed the main sensor is a a radar type disc like the original, rather than set in the secondary hull like the refit.

Here's an angle from the last movie which shows it pretty well.

I hope Hot Wheels scales some of these up and offer better details.

My Enterprise-D is pretty detailed for the size.

publiusr · March 2 2013, 09:48 PM

And that has the best saucer side view of any model or toy. Ent-D actually looks best as the Hotwheels.

I'll second the request for the K'Tinga!! (must have!!)
Personally I don't understand why they'd do Excelsior before they'd do the 1701-E.
As for other registries? I'd love for them to do them as Hot Wheels Collector website exclusives. Personally I'd stick with canon ships, but even at $25 to $30 ea. I'd probably buy in. Just change the box to say "(blank) Class" then list all of them on the back with their source episode.

They could even turn the ships to face the other way in the box, and offer the 2 ISS Enterprises.

(I started listing canon ships here to help out our friends at Hot Wheels, just in case they read this... then realized just how much of my geek I was showing.)

You get a pretty good look at the design of the USS Vengeance.

SalvorHardin · May 15 2013, 04:40 PM

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on that Vengeance.
