The baton for making die-cast Star Trek ships passed to Fanhome earlier this year and today we are getting our first look at the actual models from the first wave. The new Starship Collection launches in November and you can now pre-order ships to extend (or start) your collection.
Fanhome’s Starships Collection begins
Fanhomes’s new collection will cover all the modern Star Trek series including Picard, Strange New Worlds, Discovery, Lower Decks and Prodigy. Fanhome is working with Paramount Global to ensure the models are as accurate as possible and they will all be based on the original visual effects models that were used to make the effects for the show.
The new Official Star Trek Starship Collection is being sold as a monthly subscription service, much like the old Eaglemoss collection, and in fact the series is being supervised by Ben Robinson, who also headed up the Eagelmoss Star Trek products. Fanhome starts taking pre-orders today, September 6th, and the models are expected to ship to customers in early November. The list price for the first ship – the U.S.S. Titan-A (from Picard season 3) – is $44.95. Subsequent ships will be priced at $55.00, all with free shipping and you can cancel any time.
USS Titan-A model
The ships in the collection are constructed with a combination of die-cast metal and high-quality ABS resin. The typical model measures between 7 and 9-inches (180-225 mm) long. The designs are all based on the original visual effects models that were used to produce the shows. Each ship in the new collection comes with a 16-page magazine that profiles the ship in the Star Trek universe and explores the design process with exclusive art and brand-new interviews with the production team.

Fanhome has more than 20 ships planned for the collection. There will also be several oversized replicas of the most significant ships, which will be approximately 11 inches (280 mm) long (available individually and to subscribers for a premium). Subscribers will also get other exclusive gifts. Pre-orders for the subscription service open today.
Ship models will also be available individually the month after they are made available for subscribers. Individually purchased ships will be priced at $64.99 each plus $5 for shipping.
