Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like everyone else, I've always wanted the Enterprise-A rendered accurately, but with some fun features to play with. If you remember the electronic version that came out around 1979-1980 (Star Trek: The Motion Picture), it was well-done, but lacking the realism and detail of the ship depicted in the movie.
Art Asylum's replica is faithful to the movie Enterprise. The "aztec paneling" is molded, not painted on, but it still gives it a level of detail not normally seen on a toy or replica in this price range. The paintwork on the secondary hull is outstanding. Building one of the Enterprise model kits with the same paint scheme would be near impossible except for the expert modeller. To top it all off, the sound and light effects make this a fun toy that I just could not put down.
As much fun as it is, it truly looks outstanding on display. It is a fine replica and the price is truly amazing for what you get. I have to admit that even when displayed, I could not resist the tempatation to activate the light and sound effects over and over!
The only reason I gave the toy a "4" for durability is the display stand. It is very dramatic and goes well with the Enterprise. When I was assembling it, I was very concerned that the "neck" of the stand may snap off. I had seen this Enterprise replica on display at a recent Star Trek convention and indeed this was the case - it had broken off leaving the ball-joint stuck in the secondary hull. On the other hand, Art Asylum does give you an extra cover in case you would prefer a more accurate hull. The ball-joint does give you more options on how to display the ship at various angles.
This is one of those purchases that I could not wait to be delivered once I had ordered it. I was very happy when it arrived and very pleased with the work Art Asylum has done with such an "iconic" sci-fi vessel.
