Shaorin Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) hey guys, i'm fairly interested in these, but i'd like to know first if anyone here has one, and if they can tell me whether this is an all new mold, or a jazzed-up reissue of the crummy (IMHO) 20 year old "PLAYMATES" 1701B? thanks in advance...

arcoregon Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Saw a few Youtube Videos on this Art Asylum release. Looks good. Definitely more detail than the Playmates one which I have. The best part is that there is no droopy nacelles. Trying to see where's a good place to buy. Seems to be marked up where I look. I think MSRP is $59.95.

whitestar Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It's a brand new mold. I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyD Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I picked up one from BBTS not too long ago, I'll let you know what I think once it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaorin Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 thanks guys. there's just something about that photo on the back of the box there that reminds me a little too much of that old PLAYMATES... it's probably just me, though. i'm sure i'd like to get this sucker, but it'll probably be sometime before i can, as all my available funds are to be directed towards MACROSS items for the next several months. still, i'd sure love highly detailed finished model/toy of my childhood-favorite TREK starship, the EXCELSIOR, and if AA were to market one after this ENTERPRISE B, that sure would be great...

David Hingtgen Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 You should be aware there's a few printing issues with the Ent-B. Notably, on the sides of the hull, it reads roislecxE SSU. stnalP fo noiteredeF detinU Yeah, they missed that somehow. Wrong ship, and mirrored. You want the upcoming re-relase of the Ent-B, with fixed printing. I am also going to wait on the Excelsior until someone has it in-hand, to make sure it doesn't say tnaileR SSU on the side.

Shaorin Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) i'm definitely holding out for the EXCELSIOR. mis-prints or no, it's my childhood favorite TREK starship, and i've had to wait 20+ years now for a decent finished scale replica. all i can say is IT'S ABOUT EFF'IN TIME...

CoreyD Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hmm, the one I got was the July re-stock. I wonder if that's the misprint Ent-B or not...guess I'll find out whenever I tell them to ship my box o' loot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I was told by DST CUSTOMER service that the reissues will have the fixed tampo printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
