    I did a video on the new 2023 Ent D vs the 1992 one. As updated and shiny as the lighting is, the hull details are really atrocious. The entire bottom side of the toy is not detailed color wise.

    I was hoping to fill out the old Playmates Bridge with crew that fit in the chairs, and they got 3 out of all of them.

    A decently cast type 2 TNG Phaser with good buttons & an updated tricorder with better SFX feels like a no brainer… Marketing is weird.

      Link to the video please? I’m curious. Have half the 1992 ship kicking around somewhere down in the basement…

        @HWK_290 sure!

        A lot of the people replying to the vid said the same thing. Because the ‘92 had nacelles that detached for packaging, they were easily lost. Also, the version I bought on eBay didn’t come with a display stand from factory.
