The hull is the Jeffries original concept shuttlecraft with more Klingon-y wings.

The hull is the Jeffries original concept shuttlecraft with more Klingon-y wings.

I wonder if that's TOMY's invention, or if that idea had been established some comic, tech manual, fan art, or other source. There isn't anything that looks like it on the Memory Beta list of Klingon shuttles, but that's not definitive.

I assume it's from somewhere, since TOMY doesn't seem like they'd do a completely original design. I had thought maybe it was from the old McMaster plans, since I think that's where the idea that the box on top of the D-7's engineering hull contained the hanger deck seems to have originated, but I checked my copy and there isn't a shuttlecraft design in them at all.

The TMP Enterprise apparently sold so well that they don't even seem to be crowd funding this Klingon model. This makes me think this will be available sooner rather than later.

I had the feeling the announcement was just to get people on the mailing list for the eventual crowdfunding - so that people don’t miss out, since for some reason TOMY tends to run a relatively short actual campaign.

Possibly, but those photos look like actual die-cast models, and not the plastic prototypes we've seen in the past.
