Factory Entertainment has announced that its has entered into a multi-year agreement with Paramount parent, Viacom International, to expand upon its best-selling line of movie and television collectibles for Star Trek.

“The many props featured in Star Trek over the decades have always reflected an imaginative and forward-looking design aesthetic that has not only captivated fans, but often influenced the design of real-world technology” said Jordan Schwartz, president and CEO of Factory Entertainment. “As a Star Trek fan myself since the 1960s, I’m thrilled and honoured to be entrusted by Paramount to continue to bring some of the most iconic items in Star Trek history to the many fans of the franchise in all its incarnations.”

In 2022, Factory Entertainment released limited-edition replicas of several props from Star Trek: The Next Generation, including the ‘cricket phaser’ seen in the first few seasons, a set of medical devices used by Dr. Beverly Crusher, and the Ressikan flute treasured by Captain Jean Luc Picard in the fan-favourite episode The Inner Light. The company also released a replica of the Borg Queen’s skull seen in the motion picture Star Trek: First Contact and a set of replicas from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
