Eaglemoss Drops Out of Hyperspace for NY Comic Con

Never one to disappoint, Eaglemoss today revealed a convention exclusive Star Trek starship that has to be seen to be believed. Available at the upcoming New York Comic Con, which is scheduled to run from October 3rd to the 6th, the “Cloaked Defiant” bears a somewhat crystalline look that attempts to portray the starship as if its was evading detection.

Its not clear if the convention exclusive will be made available to retailers as oftentimes has happened in the past or if it can only be purchased direct from the Show. That said, we’ll take a wait-and-see attitude by holding off listing the ship on our web site until we know for sure.

Altaya Soldiers On with a New Line of Military Vehicles

As we await the formal conclusion to their 1:43 scale armored fighting vehicle range — which is tentatively set for early 2020 — it appears as if Altaya is launching yet another partworks line, this time around focused on an assortment of cars pressed into military service. According to their web site, this new 1:43 scale range will encompass some of the staff cars, off-road trucks and other vehicles that served both the Axis and Allied powers during WWII. Each will come with a magazine (written in french) discussing the vehicle at length. Moreover the line touts the usual bonus vehicles and accessories a subscriber can obtain once they have reached a predetermined number of orders . For now, the line is available in Europe but we have high hopes that it will eventually reach our shores once it too has formally reached its end and Altaya has moved on to something else collectors might covet.
