Master Replicas and Paramount Consumer Products have teamed up to develop a new line of Star Trek toys and collectibles inspired by the franchise, with pre-orders for the first 4.5″ figures, Captain Picard and Mr Spock open now.
Heathside Trading, who own the Master Replicas brand, has announced that it has signed a wide-ranging deal with Paramount Consumer Products to produce Star Trek toys and collectibles, including action figures and play sets, replica phasers, communicators and tricorders, and other collectibles inspired by the franchise, all of which will be released through its Master Replicas brand.
“A new range of 4.5” action figures is going to be at the centre of what we’re doing,” said Master Replicas Creative director, Ben Robinson.
“Our mission is to bring the fans items they have never had before,” he explains. “Our rights cover the new shows including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Section 31, and the forthcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
“I’m delighted to say that we’re also going to be bringing fans the first ever 4.5” Star Trek: Lower Decks action figures and the cast of Star Trek: Prodigy, starting with Rok-Tahk.”
“The figures will all be available from MasterReplicas.com,” added Ben. “By concentrating on direct-to-consumer sales, we can provide the fans with the kind of deep-dive figures and collectibles that would be challenging for a traditional business. Unlike other manufacturers, we’ll be releasing new figures every month, starting with Spock and Admiral Picard.
“As fans ourselves, attention to detail is incredibly important to us and we’ve been pouring over the reference material to make these some of the best figures anyone has ever seen,” he added. “Every figure will come with accessories, and we’re even planning some exclusive online variants that come with original fabric swatches from the Star Trek costume department.
“Our goal is to make products that fans thought they would never be able to buy, with all the love and attention that they have dreamed of.”
Later this year, the range will expand to include play sets, toy ships and landing party equipment.
