Rumor Mill : Comic Con 2008 Reveals New U.S.S. Enterprise Design ? Updated

Features

By GustavoLeao / 08:54, 24 July 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Action-figure.com posted several photos from the San Diego Comic Con 2008 and there are some pics of Mattel's 2009 Star Trek line of toys, including photos of which appears to be the new U.S.S. Enterprise model. 

Is this the new Constitution Class Enterprise from J.J. Abrams movie ? The design looks like a mix of the Original Series Enterprise and the TOS movie Enterprise. Again, time will tell.

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

You can see larger photos of the model here

UPDATE : TrekMovie.com confirmed that neither of the ships being displayed at Comic Con were based on a design from the new Star Trek movie. John Ludwig, Mattel's Tyco Product manager, tells TrekMovie that they will be making a R/C Enterprise from the new movie, but that will not be out until shortly before the movie. The full report can be found here.

"Disturbed"? You really have a low threshold for being disturbed don't you.

From the looks of the trailer the design is going to be perfect. True to the original but far more convincing. I suspect that this design will be what the TOS Enterprise would truly look like if built.

Also anyone who would be upset by the redesign forgets that the TOS enterprise itself went through modifications over the course of the series (they never could setlte on where the phasers were or what a phaser blast looked like) and that the refit Enterprise could not possibly have been built on the same frame as the original.

Just shut up and enjoy the damned movie.
