Arts Reviews

This product was extremely disappointing. The book was difficult to follow and my kids were quickly bored. I've had bad luck with all the Klutz products I have purchased, and would not recommend them.

This is a good toy for a while but eventualy the warp nacells will wear out and fall off. Mine no longer work and i cant get new ones. But the other startrek ships by Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys are very durable. Like the Enterprise A and E. They are great.

When Art Asylum originally gained the contract to make Enterprise and other Star Trek toys, I was more than a little skeptical for a couple of reasons. For one thing, I didn't think that a toy company whose reputation rested on making replicas of Eminem and other sort of fringe genre figures would be able to appreciate the delicate art of pleasing the very demanding (myself included) group of hardcore Trekkers out there.

I was wrong. Art Asylum has done a superb job with the Star Trek contract, and has turned out the most beautiful set of toys I've seen, toys definitely meant for the 'adult collector' range of buyers. And this model of the Enterprise NX-01 is the jewel in the crown.

I purchased it right away when it came out almost a year ago, and was immediately struck by the quality and detail of the design. Clearly the creators of this 'toy' were thinking about its potential as a display item as much as a toy -- the stand, for example, is much sturdier than the more flimsy versions that have come out with previous starship models and attaches to the ship in a clever and ingenious way.

About the only downside to this model is there are some fit and finish issues which could have been improved, and to get the full effect, you have to download and attach some decals from their website. None of that has bothered me much, however, and I'm very pleased to own one of these for myself!

I was disapointed in how the nacelles kept popping off!! I ended up using superglue to keep them on.
Other than that, its a very nice looking model, feels sturdy, much more durable than a plastic model you put together.
