 Excellently detailed! Brilliantly done! But with some minor flaws.... June 18, 2009

After a long long wait due to the extended delays from Art Asylum (AA) for their rendition of the the USS Enterprise-D, all I can say that it was well worth the wait. This toy or model is near perfection that the reason for the delay was probably because Art Asylum wanted it to be perfect. Well, almost perfect. I'll explain the flaws later. Overall, they got the model right. Unlike their Enterprise-E which was a disappointment, the Ent-D in my opinion is a winner. Every tiny bit of detail on the ship from all the painted windows to the tiny ship registrations on some parts of the hull, down to the colour scheme of the ship, the guys from AA have not missed a single detail, well except for the missing windows on the neck section of the engineering section. Kinda disappointed abt this as there were windows on the prototype models prior to its development... Other than that, this model is just perfect and a great model to represent the Galaxy Class Enterprise-D. This one knocks the Playmates Ent-D in terms of details that was released many years ago off the shelve.
Now for the flaws that is really bugging me. I can't get the battery compartment on the engineering section to open!!! It requires some prying which would damage the hull slightly surrounding the battery compartment. Once opened, there is a switch inside where you can activate it to from "Try Me" mode to "Play" mode. You can also switch it off. This is a design flaw on Art Asylum's part. Even the batt compartment on the saucer section is difficult to remove without damaging the paint job.
And lastly, the display stand. Due to the saucer section, the model tend to be top heavy, so you will have to find the right balancing spot to display the ship. Otherwise, the ship will just topple forward and you risk damaging it. In my opinion, AA shd have used a different display stand for the Ent-D.
The main attraction of this model is the saucer separation. And this gimmick is very well done! Probably another reason for the delay from Art Asylum as they wanted to make it close to perfection. Indeed they have and I'm pretty satisfied with it. The magnet used is probably the most powerful magnet ever used in a toy! You can simply pull off the saucer section with a bit of force and it will come off.. And don't worry about the saucer coming off while on display, don't worry coz it won't... The magnet is just too strong.
But please be careful while attaching the saucer section back to the engineering section. The magnet is very powerful and once the saucer is close enough, the magnet will pull the saucer into the secondary hull with a lot of force, this will risk damaging or breaking the pegs underneath the saucer. The best way to attach the saucer back is by sliding your hand in between the magnets so that the force will not be as great, from there, you will slowly adjust the saucer to its appropriate position.
Model comes with two display stand, one for the saucer section, and the other for the engineering section.
In conclusion, a must have for Star Trek fans, especially fans of The Next Generation series such as myself. Minus the flaws mentioned above such as the battery compartment cover and the missing windows on the neck section etc, this is one of the better releases from Art Asylum thus far and you can see that they have put in a lot of effort for the Ent-D. Highly recommended!!!

It's great to see such detail and craftsmanship go into making a toy like this-- I have it displayed in my studio next to my movies and entertainment center and it looks awesome. It looks more like an expensive movie replica than a toy by a long shot. Paint and details are way above par-- and the internal lighting looks exactly like the movie version of the ship. It does have a button that plays sounds fx and clips from the show... it IS a toy after all and some kid is going to want to relive some episodes with those, but luckily for me, it also has a lights-only mode, so I can just turn them on when the room is dim and it looks very cool. The saucer separates and comes back into place just like the model from the show, being held together by a magnet that is more than able to do the job-- and I can only HOPE that this company also comes out with an Enterprise ship based on the JJ Abrams movie as well in the near future. Its a real piece of art and I highly recommend this for any fan of the show... or fan of futuristic tech and sci-fi in general:) Nice addition to my collection:)

the saucer and endangering section didn't connect all the way, one of the connectors on the bottom of the saucer broke but it still connects and makes sounds.

The enterprise model - toy is great. It has great detail nad good paint job and the lighting is good as well. The best detail is the teflector and its semy transperent plastic part that lights up. all in all a great thing to have for older people as a model and for children to play.
