Ahhh, The U.S.S. Enterprise, the pride of the 23rd century federation. Constitution class, only 2 fore facing phasers, photon torpedos, and a maximum safe speed of warp 9. Not to mention, one of the best looking ships in the history of the Federation, no wonder Kirk was in love with her!
They need a group that knows how to use glue without sniffing it!March 3, 2010 William G. Pursell, Sr.(U.S.A.) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Over all not to bad;but not that good either. I'd purchased it from Go Hastings whereas the other ship I'd got from them was just fine. The left nacelle(with the ship coming at you) has a flow of glue coming out on its far left side at least a 1/2" into the lens as if the glue person held the ship,that left nacelle down near the floor and the right nacelle high;after gluing then putting the yellow lens for the left nacelle in place. I had a difficult time convincing me that (with the ship going to the left on the shelf) you couldn't see the flow. I was sorely tempted to return it for a refund and try to order it again;But after reading the other reviews, I found myself thinking that with my luck,after going through the return...the refund ....the re-order...the waiting all over again....I'd get one ever WORSE! Perhaps, if they'd hire people who were more interested in the pride that comes from perfecting their techniques of how to use glue RATHER than sniffing it;they could produces a product with little or no errors?
How 'bout it Diamond Select Toys?
P.S. Oh,and they REALLY need to produce a stronger more stable stand for the ship.
A minimal repaint, but still pretty nice...January 30, 2010 Cary L. Brown(Raleigh NC) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This isn't really any different than the three other versions of this which I've got, except for the paint job on the saucer top and the revision of the saucer underside to hide the screws better. That said... if you want just one, this is probably the one to get. It's definitely good looking, and well-assembled. And as far as "toys" go, it's the best TOS Enterprise yet. (And it's going to have to serve until the new 30" TOS Enterprise model kit comes out later this year!)
Great For Desk/Dresser TopsJanuary 28, 2010 Too-Tall(Mars, PA, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this model to add to my sci-fi desktop here. Serenity (ornament) & the Enterprise Model/Toy. which as a side note im convinced are the same scale
So heres my thoughts: on a scale of 1 to 10; 1 being a Toy, and 10 being a Model, i give it a 6.
The detail is really nice, and makes a nice addition to my desk. the lights DO stay on when you hold the dome down for 5 seconds (make sure you flip the switch in the battery compartment to play, not "try/try me"), until you tell them to go off. the lighting fx are REALLY nice. almost wish i could make it a nightlight if i could plug it in instead of use batteries hah.
now the box claims it does 8 sound fx/voices. Unless its a random thing and each model is shipped with a differnt sound chip, but mine only does 6. "Red Alert" and "Phaser Attack" do not exsist on mine. Not a problem though i mainly just go with the lighting fx.
As another user on here did, i got white model paint an painted the windows white instead of the grey/black thing they had going on. Looks ALOT nicer now, more like the on-screen version.
Pros:
* Good Detail; as i glance over at it, while typing this, it really looks from a 2' distance like a studio model.
* Fun Special FX. lights and sounds are really good.
Cons:
*There are some toy-like flaws, like the obvious "snap-together" assembly. there is a tiny bit of seperation on my saucer, but my room is dimly lit, and im not trying to win any contests here, so its fine for me.
* The Stand: THIS CANT BE SAID ENOUGH. the ruttin ball-jointed stand it comes with. the third time adjusting it to the pose i wanted, the friction factor went away with the tribbles. After 3 attempts with model glue and 1 with superglue i finnaly got the thing to be poseable (since i had to re-pose it after drying) without it falling over on its own. Because of this the "durability" factor got a 3 from me.
Overall, i really like it. I have no regrets purchasing it, and it makes a really nice addition to my desktop. I would reccomend this for anyone looking to spice up thier office desk, home desk, dresser, or even mantel.
Very poor quality.January 26, 2010 Ashe 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I agree with Neurogaijin. This ship is of horrible quality. The seams are huge and poorly fitted, there are glue smears all over it, some of the parts still have the edges where they were clipped from the mold runners and the paint is pitiful. Hell, on one nacelle the identification numbers (which cross over the seam) are offset by 1/8". I wonder if this company has any quality control at all or if they just don't care.
The only quality in the ship seems to be in the lighting and sound which are pretty good.
I admit, I read the reviews and took a shot and got a piece of junk. Buyer beware.
Note: this review is in response to the manufacture of the toy, not the seller. I have had no problems with the seller at all.
