Playmobil's New Star Trek Playset Includes a Massive 39-Inch USS Enterprise

Like Lego, Playmobil is shipping its adult-targeted toys in packaging reminiscent of your smartphone’s dark mode. It looks classy, and with Spock staring out from the corner of the box no Star Trek fan will be able to walk past this in a store without tossing it in their shopping cart.

The Enterprise’s saucer section features a removable top revealing a detailed recreation of the Constitution-class ship’s bridge, complete with seating for all of the included figures, retro-inspired computers, and a main display revealing a Klingon Warbird ready to engage in battle.

The playset comes with seven Playmobil figures including Kirk, McCoy, Uhura, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, and Spock, who is the first Playmobil figure in history to come with Vulcan ears. (It’s only logical.) The ship also comes with another memorable Star Trek character: the Tribbles, which, thankfully, don’t multiply as quickly in toy form.

You’ll also get cool features illuminated with LEDs, like glowing warp engine nacelles, as well as the ship’s various computer interfaces and displays. It also comes with sound effects from the original series.

In the Star Trek TV series and movies, the Enterprise was powered by a warp core reactor. But back here in the year 2021, it features a built-in rechargeable battery that trades dilithium crystals for a port that simply needs to be plugged into a power source every so often.

In addition to the elaborate bridge, the playset also includes the ship’s engineering department hidden behind a removable panel so that Scotty has a place to work and keep things running smoothly.

In addition to a display stand that supports the entire ship on a desk or shelf, the Enterprise can also be hung from a ceiling using wires and an included rig so that it looks like it’s warping across the galaxy.

Playmobil continues to add to lines like its Back to the Future collection, and while the toy maker’s first Star Trek set looks impressive, let’s hope it doesn’t stop there—because the franchise has countless other ships, alien races, and characters spanning generations we’d love to see get the Playmobil treatment.
