DST Starship Legends electronic starship toys

Starship Legends is a long running series of electronic Star Trek starship models produced by Diamond Select Toys. The line was launched by Art Asylum in 2002, and has continued following the company's acquisition by DST. Typically models feature both light and sound play features (although a small number of variants omit these), and come with a display stand.

All the ships so far released have seen numerous variants, including movie and episode specific releases, as well as battle damaged, mirror universe, and cloaking effects. While some of these variants have been achieved by new print applications or different coloured plastics, many have made use of additional tooling to allow for significant physical variations, such as details of refits, or additional landing gear parts.

As demand for the ships has remained high, DST have regularly reissued ships, often taking the opportunity to improve paint applications, and implement more advanced electronic systems, allowing a larger range of sound effects (including voice clips which earlier releases did not feature), the ability to switch lights to stay on for a prolonged period, and long ambient noise sound clips.

The list is arranged in release order for the first variant of each model, with later variants listed directly after, so that each class of ship is listed together.

Enterprise NX-01

ISS Enterprise NX-01 (mirror universe)
  • Description: Mirror universe version of the Enterprise, based on the episodes In a Mirror, Darkly.
  • Releases: 2006.

Borg Cube models

This is a list of various toys, models, ornaments, and other products based on the Borg Cube, and Borg Tactical Cube. First seen in the first ever Borg episode, Q Who, the Cube is perhaps the most recognisable icon of the Borg Collective. Its simple geometric silhouette belays the incredibly intricate detailing of the hull, which has resulted in mixed results when recreating the design in the various forms listed below.

Attack Wing gaming miniature
  • Format: Oversized gaming miniature, one of the largest models in the Attack Wing game. A new edition is due in 2016, featuring a port from which a Borg Sphere can launched.

Star Trek: Attack Wing

Star Trek: Attack Wing is a miniatures game from Wizkids, featuring small-scale models of ships from a huge variety of species and all the prime-timeline Star Trek series. Since its initial launch in 2013, the game has seen regular additions, in the form of single-ship expansion packs, which include the model ship, and a selection of cards which when used in game-play allow you to change your crew and ship-functions.

The first starter set was released in August 2013, featuring three ships. Simultaneously the first eight individual ship expansions were released. Further waves of four ships came periodically thereafter. As of wave five, there were three ships released in each wave, but the release rate was upped, with new releases almost every month. Additionally there have so far been three much larger miniatures of larger-sized ships/stations.

Some of the Attack Wing miniatures are based on earlier Wizkids releases: Unpainted versions of some of the ships previously appeared in the Fleet Captains game, and similar pre-painted versions appeared in Tactics - Unlike the Tactics versions of the ships, the Attack Wing ships do not feature ship names printed on them. As the series has continued, the ships featured are increasingly new molds; indeed with the large number of ships featured, several of the models have been the first ever official models of some ship designs.

Supporting the game are regular organised play events, where retailers can buy in kits, including prizes, featuring various themed scenarios. Often the prizes at these events see the debut of models, which will later get full retail releases. This page lists all the ships so far released (at retail) in the game.

Starter Set
  • Ships featured:
    • Federation USS Enterprise-D, Galaxy class.
    • Romulan IRW Khazara, D’deridex class warbird.
    • Klingon IKS Maht-H’a, Vor’cha class.
  • Release date: August 2013.
  • Notes: In additional to the usual assortment of cards that comes with each ship, the starter set includes the rule book, maneuver templates, and everything else you need to play the game.
  • Coverage: Preview images.
  • Purchase: Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk.
