DEBUT TITLES — IN DEVELOPMENT — 2026

Between 2001 and 2019, Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys produced one of the most ambitious and beloved action figure lines in the history of science fiction collectables. Spanning every major era of the Star Trek franchise — from the original series through to The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, the films, and beyond — these seven-inch figures set a new standard for character likeness, articulation, and packaging design.

Going Boldly: A Future in Plastic is the first publication to document this era in full.

A large-format hardback of approximately 264 pages that combines newly commissioned photography — shot specifically for this project, using privately owned figures from the collection — with essays exploring the design decisions, production history, and cultural context behind each series. It is a reference work for serious collectors, and a love letter to an era of craftsmanship that deserves to be remembered properly.

What the book covers

Every series produced across the Art Asylum and Diamond Select Toys era is documented in detail, including sculpts, prototypes, packaging design, and the characters, episodes, and creative influences that shaped each release. The result is the definitive unofficial archive of a chapter in Star Trek collecting history that has never before been told at this level.

The format

Going Boldly is being developed as a premium collector's publication, with production values to match its subject. Full-colour throughout. Sewn binding. Heavyweight stock. A physical object worthy of the collection it documents. Plus a whole raft of Kickstarter backer freebies!

Kickstarter — Autumn 2026

The book will be brought to life through a Kickstarter campaign launching in autumn 2026. If you'd like to be among the first to know when the campaign goes live, add your email to our subscriptions.  No noise — just the details that matter, when they matter.
