TOMY Communications Manager, Jordan Swenson tells TrekMovie, “We’re doing everything we can in order to reach the goal.” Time is running out, as the deadline to back this project is September 5, 2025, at 12 PM ET.

This is the third Star Trek model for TOMY, which began with the TOS U.S.S. Enterprise released in 2023. After that impressive release, the Klingon ship has made the team step up. “The shape of the ship was definitely a challenge, but the team has been able to work through the initial issues with that and will continue to refine it over the next year or so before the model ships to backers,” said Swenson.

In November, the team is expecting to release their second ship, the refit USS Enterprise from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which was crowdfunded last year. Swenson gave us an update: “We are currently in the production phase of this project and we are extremely excited to get this amazing replica into the hands of backers! We’re really proud of this piece.” As of now, TOMY has not made a decision about their next Star Trek project.
