Agreed that it's probably just their way of saying they'll have Trek on display. They probably just wanted something more interesting than the logo. That said, if Hiya ever did want to make the bridge, I'd be all for it. I can definitely see now that the 2009 line's attempt at a Build-A-Bridge was pretty disastrous and cheap (not to mention it never got finished), but for a poor kid with low expectations, it was pretty awesome back in the day, cheap plastic mat and all. I'd love an updated version of that- I always loved how sleek and shiny the Abrams Enterprise was. I don't think Hiya has ever done a playset/diorama, but I'd be all over it if they did!

Hiya did say in convention panels and articles and on social media in 2023 when they announced their license for Star Trek that they would have, in addition to 1:18th and 1:12th figures that they would also be doing an Enterprise ship. They also hinted that their license was open to other parts of the overall Star Trek Universe. I don’t know what the delay has been but it isn’t exclusive to just the Star Trek products. If Hiya’s Aliens Colonial Marines APC is anything of an example their Enterprise should be awesome. The interior and exterior of the APC is highly detailed. I could definitely see a shuttle craft or bridge as being equally incredible.

The following quote is from a trekcore posting. I have included the link below:

“A representative from Hiya Toys told our team that they are planning a second wave of six-inch figures (with fabric costumes) as well as an Enterprise starship with lights and sound; the company told us that they have a worldwide license to all of the live-action Star Trekproperties – so there is great potential for additional releases.”

Uhura! Uhura! Don't need the galaxy at this point, just the last remaining MAIN CAST MEMBER...

They could get at least three figures out of reuse  on that single mold 1) Uhura 2) Gaila (Uhura’s Orion Roomate) and 3) Carol Marcus (From “Into Darkness”)

This may be nothing, but why is Diamond Select Toys being listed as one of the partners in upcoming Star Trek merchandise in SDCC’s Star Trek Booth? I don’t see Hiya Toys listed but they do have their own booth and they are saying that they will also be showing new Star Trek products as well. Hurry up weekend and get here!

The following was on startrek.com

DST could be doing some of their gallery type statues and busts for Trek, like they do for a lot of other properties.

I’m hoping for ships and role-play again. I’m kind of wondering about the way Hiya Toys having Previews Editions mentioned in their announcements has anything to do with maybe a Diamond Distribution deal. I guess time will tell?

Found a pic of Hiya's SDCC booth. Looks like a Kelvinverse Enterptise is in the works. Hopefully we get more news this weekend.

6" Sulu and 4" Pike 2009 coming

No sign of Uhura...

No sign of my $$ then...

Nice to see carded pics, which means they're hopefully ready to ship soon.  But yeah, Pike before Uhura is some bullshit.  Fix yo' shit, Hiya.

The Uhura thing almost has to be a likeness issue. Obviously have no idea if it's true, but I have heard that Zoe Saldana can be a bit of a stickler when it comes to likeness rights. Avatar figures obviously probably wouldn't be an issue in that regard, and maybe there's some loophole with Guardians, since she's under such makeup, whereas Uhura is just her. Or maybe, like we'd mentioned before, since female characters obviously can't reuse the same pieces as the male ones, they wanna start getting some money back in the line before they devote to new sculpting (though Keenser doesn't reuse anything, and he's early out of the gate). Weird all around, honestly, but as long as they get to her at all, I'll be happy.

It is nice to see packaged shots. They look pretty good- a lot more unique than most of Hiya's other lines, with the basic small rectangular window box. Hope to see these hitting soon, especially since Amazon canceled my order for the first wave due to lack of inventory.

Unless something changed since Zoe Saldana approved Playmates 2009 Star Trek line’s Uhura figure, I don’t think her signing off on likeness rights is the problem. They have done Uhura figures, Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy, Neytiri in Avatar. I think it’s probably that they are going to make her when they get closer to making characters from the second movie so they can do Carol Marcus and Gaila (Uhura’s Orion Roommate) Last year they showed a prototype of Spock in Volcano Suit. I hope we see an update on that figure before SDCC wraps up. I would really like to see an interview or a panel from Hiya’s representatives.
