Editorial Review

Fans of the latest Star Trek TV series will appreciate the authentic detail built into this replica of the Enterprise NX-01. Although it is only capable of going up to warp six, this 12-inch-long rendering of the interstellar vehicle was created using scans taken directly from the filming model used on Enterprise. As a result, it looks like the real thing and features an array of sound effects from the show. A button on the top of the Enterprise activates the electronic sound effects, which are accompanied by flashing lights on the back of the ship. Made of durable plastic, the Enterprise NX-01 is sturdy enough to be used as a toy. --Chris Burns

This review is from: Star Trek Starship Enterprise NX-01 (Toy)

I really enjoy having such a sureal model and toy of a truely great ship in the star trek line, but as with anything made in china it suffers in quality big time. My Enterprise even with new batteries will not light up any more and the warp necell on one side can barely stay on. Please lets start making things like these as well as other products in at least the same continent as the show is produced! Most of my family and friends would prefer to have the word made in china disappear comepletely! Our dollars are going farther, but what we buy(made in china) does not last. Big business will never learn, all for a bigger buck, and less on quality.

This is a well thought out replica for collectors.

Nacelles, deflector dish, impulse engine all light up once you flip the switch in the battery compartment to Normal play mode, as do the additional sound effects. It is set in demo mode at the store so that your batteries aren't drained before you buy it- good thinking Art Asylum.

Attachment for base is separate and if you want to hang the model in the air, you can just ignore the attachment. This makes the model a clean replica- again kudos to Art Asylum. In fact the entire replica has only 1 small screw.

Model is a little small compared to the Playmates ships but there is more detail and everything is already painted unlike Playmates where you still have to stick on the decals.

I hope Art Asylum makes ships from Nemesis some day.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Newest, Oldest Enterprise, October 1, 2002

This review is from: Star Trek Starship Enterprise NX-01 (Toy)

The Enterprise NX-01 represents the first Starship Enterprise in the Star Trek universe, so although it's featured in the newest Trek series, this is the 'oldest' Enterprise.
This is a cool replica of the vessel seen on TV every week, with nice sound effects and terrific attention to detail- even though it seems to be missing two small protrusions on the upper hull which are visible on TV (and on the photos on back of the box). It captures the lean, "racehorse" look that characterizes the NX-01. The hull details are entirely accurate as far as I can tell; unfortunately they are painted on rather than molded in.
My only real complaints are the lights, which are placed so that you have to look directly at the front of the warp nacelles to see them (in the case of the impulse engines, you must look directly from the rear); the deflector dish, which is made of a soft plastic and was bent out of shape in my model; and the display stand, which is beautiful to look at but surprisingly flimsy. I replaced my display stand with one from a Star Wars Action Fleet toy (it takes just a minute with a Dremel drill to make a hole for the stand).
However, these are small flaws in an otherwise beautiful model. Kudos to Art Asylum for bringing it to us, and to the Trek producers for insisting on such an accurate reproduction (for a really horrible reproduction, see the Playmates brand "First Contact" USS Enterprise, which bore no resemblace to the ship seen in the film- and which may have had something to do with the change in manufacturers).
For Star Trek fans, the Enterprise NX-01 is worth the money and it was worth waiting for.
