What the fuck Enterprise is that? It looks awful.

Per the article,

This brand new REPLICAart Series U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 figure […] is based on the iconic design from the 2009 film, Star Trek, meticulously replicates the NCC-1701’s appearance and intricate details.

How odd. I just watched that a couple weeks ago but don’t remember it looking that… bubbly

My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it’s own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.

The design language for those films is a sort of 2010’s retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.

@Kirk @haverholm
I appreciate it. Although Engineering is just wrong (multiple warpcores? You having a laugh?)

I know what the movie says, but those have gotta be antimatter storage pods, yeah?

100%. Even if Scotty called them warp cores (I don't recall) he was probably just kidding. Or drunk on green stuff.

The line is,

Okay. If we eject the core and detonate, the blast could be enough to push us away! I cannae promise anything, though!

It’s interesting that the dialogue is the singular “core,” while the VFX shows multiple ejections.

I’m sticking with antimatter pods.

Yeah, they probably shunted those for a bigger explosion. Perfect Watsonian explanation 🙂

Thinking about that engine room makes me want to be a Star Wars fan.

Lol

ikr, out of all the ones to choose from. They chose poorly.

Odd choice of enterprise. The cheapest one to license maybe?

Hiya Toys is pushing their Kelvin line pretty hard, though they also have the license for some SNW stuff - there’s an Anson Mount Pike figure available.
