I've wanted all of these since the beginning, so I'll be eating ramen noodles for a while.
more angles at herocollector.
merchantman looks excellent, but poor gomtuu has a big ugly seam down its middle.
Spacedock
It is one good looking model.
i'm loving the use of transparent plastic to simulate the lighting on the underside.
Seriously. If that model was a woman, I...
...wouldn’t have been able to talk to her during any part of my adolescence.
Likes, likes, LIKES A MILLION TIMES LIKES!!!!!
Now the burning question - is the T'Pau going to be officially considered the Apollo class?
Is that how they got that look? I was wondering, ever since I first saw photos of it... Brilliant!
that's what it looks like to me anyway.
In retrospect, it doesn't make sense that an obviously Vulcan design would be named for a deity from Earth mythology. (I highly doubt they named the class after the being Kirk and crew encountered in "Who Mourns...")
But I'm highly excited about the Merchantman. Being Canadian, I doubt that we'll be getting that before about March. The T'Pau and Promelian battle cruiser wouldn't have been my first choices (Tin Man/Gomtuu even less so), but it's nice to see them doing more TNG ships-of-the-week instead of Voyager ones. I'll probably get at least the first two of those, plus the Merchantman. (Three down, five to go...)
Say what you will about the film, but Star Trek III introduced some of the most iconic designs in Trek history - Excelsior, Grissom, the Klingon Bird of Prey, Spacedock and even the Merchantman would go on to appear time and again.
ILM really did a great job on that film.

^^^ they sure did!
That’s one era, and specifically design / look, I’d love to see a future Trek show set in...

Except for Chekov's civvies.^^^ they sure did!

Heh... yeah the pink clothes (Kirk also wore a pink shirt under his burgundy tunic) and stupid-enormous collars really was not easy on the eyes. 
Unfortunately, based on the wording, it does look like that's going to be the name for the class. Which always irritated me, because I'm pretty sure that was a mistake from the first edition of the Encyclopedia that somehow just took on a life of its own.
Nothing wrong with a pink shirt - Kirk carried it off. But the comedy collar was so bad they modified Chekov's costume to remove it during filming.Heh... yeah the pink clothes (Kirk also wore a pink shirt under his burgundy tunic) and stupid-enormous collars really was not easy on the eyes.
