Official Starships Collection Klingon D4
1 min read
The fourth oversized Official Starships Collection model will be of interest to Klingon fans.
The ship will be a D4 class Bird of Prey, seen in Star Trek into Darkness.
The Star Trek into Darkness “Klingon Patrol ship,” will go on sale in the UK in February, and in the US in late April.
In the accompanying magazine, expect discussion about the design process and rejected Klingon ship concepts. “There are a ton of rejected Klingon ship concepts,” said Official Starships Collection Manager Ben Robinson, “and the final ship did a lot more than I realized after just watching the movie. ”
The oversized model will sell for $38.00, but can be pre-ordered at TFaw.comics for $30.40. To pre-order this ship, head to the link located here.

looks like auxilliary craft belonging to Shinzon’s Scimitar. butt-ugly.
wow, i’m sorry… that is one lame, fake, ugly looking ship…
but i guess it’s what nu-trek fans want?
maybe it needs more “tattoos”? =P
And don’t forget the piercings – Blingons love piercings.
HEH! =D
u nailed it!
Excellent: linking terrible old Trek and terrible new Trek.
Check out the gorgeous, distinctive K’tinga class ships in TMP. Then take another look at this. Then try to tell yourself that anyone at any creative level of the Abramsverse really gives a shit.
It looks generic as hell. It’s your average “bad guy ship” design plucked from the soup of interchangeable sci-fi films of the last decade or so.
We reach 😉
Nemesis and Star Trek 09 were actually remarkably similar, despite Abramsverse fans’ babbling. Bad Romulan wants to blow up Earth real good with some kind of bazooka, or something.
I just did that and yes, the contrast is huge. One of the aspects that I thought the 2009 Abrams film would do well was ship design, since tear sort of films often get the visual-technical side of things right nowadays (e.g. the pod in ‘Oblivion’). I was dismayed that even this sucked hard, for no discernible reason other than laziness, lack of focus, or institutional confusion.
Bad, undermotivated Romulan, at that. Abrams has no monopoly on lousy Star Trek. It’s interesting to reflect that there hasn’t been a well-received Star Trek film (on the part of the fandom) since 1996.
Looks oddly like the fighter crafts from (gulp) Cowboys and Aliens.
Well, many fans were so desperate that, addled by the flash bang quality of the movie, they proclaimed 09 to be good, even great. So I’m not sure where that statistic comes from…
Or even a robot vessel from one of Orci’s Transformer movies. Judging by the looks of it, I’d say it transforms into one gigantic cockroach.
The 2009 film is the semi-exception there, for certain. But isn’t painting those who did like it as either being motivated by desperation or being addled by special effects, etc. — basically saying, “They liked it, but not for legitimate reasons” — just the kind of policing of other people’s reactions that is one of any fandom’s most negative tendencies? (though one we all tend to fall into at times)
