SDCC 2026 : Factory Entertainment Celebrates Star Trek and Classic TV Icons

Factory Entertainment turned Booth #2743 into a tour through decades of pop-culture history at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, combining science-fiction landmarks, 1970s and 1980s television nostalgia, prop replicas, electronic vehicles and new figure programs. The timing was particularly appropriate: the Concord, California-based company celebrated its 15th anniversary during Star Trek’s 60th anniversary year, making the franchise a major focus of a display that also included Battlestar Galactica, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Jaws, The Mummy and other enduring properties.

Star Trek’s 60th Anniversary Takes Center Stage

The headline piece was a 1:18-scale recreation of the U.S.S. Enterprise bridge from Star Trek: The Original Series. First revealed earlier in 2026 and targeted for release in 2027, the project features lights, sounds and working screens. Its scale corresponds closely to the traditional 3.75-inch action-figure format, giving the bridge the presence of a large collector playset. Factory Entertainment has not formally confirmed a complete Original Series figure crew for it, so any such connection remains speculation.

Star Trek also dominated Factory Entertainment’s Convention Exclusive Premiere assortment. The Uhura Limited Edition Prop Replica recreates Lieutenant Nyota Uhura’s communications earpiece after study of original props, using machined aluminum and a clear molded earpiece. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, it includes a Starfleet-delta display stand and certificate of authenticity. The piece also recalls the legacy of Nichelle Nichols, whose performance made Uhura one of the original series’ defining characters.

Other Star Trek releases included Eline’s Necklace from “The Inner Light,” solid-metal Latinum Bars developed using 3D scans of original screen-used bars, and scaled replicas of the M5 Computer, the Doomsday Machine and the laser cannon from “The Cage.”

Battlestar Galactica Expands Its 3.75-Inch Universe

Battlestar Galactica was the booth’s other major science-fiction pillar. Factory Entertainment used SDCC for the first preview of Wave 2 of its classic-series 3.75-inch figure and vehicle line. Displays included Commander Adama, Athena, Count Baltar and Lucifer among the expanding character selection, alongside Colonial and Cylon additions.
Vehicles make the project more ambitious than a figure-only range. The Colonial Viper Mk I electronic vehicle is already part of Factory Entertainment’s announced catalogue, while Comic-Con brought a look at a Cylon Raider prototype designed for the same 3.75-inch ecosystem. The company also showed material connected with the later reimagined Battlestar Galactica, although products still in development should not be treated as final until formally approved and announced.

Replay Revives Miami Vice, Magnum P.I. and Bionic Television

One of the most distinctive SDCC reveals was Replay, a new 1:18-scale concept built around classic television. Booth coverage showed figures inspired by Miami Vice, Magnum, P.I., Knight Rider, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman and Airwolf. Together, Sonny Crockett, Ricardo Tubbs, Thomas Magnum, Michael Knight, Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers create something rarely seen in modern collecting: a compatible shelf of prime-time television icons from different franchises.

Some SDCC Replay pieces were prototypes or pending approval, so details can still change before production.
Airwolf made that philosophy especially clear. Factory Entertainment and Ramen Toy displayed a 3.75-inch-scale version of the famous helicopter with companion character prototypes. Turning the aircraft into a vehicle built around figures gives the project a different appeal from a static replica and makes Airwolf one of the most intriguing extensions of the Replay concept.

Knight Rider Returns With an Electronic KITT

Knight Rider appeared at a larger scale through Factory Entertainment’s collaboration with Ramen Toy on a 1:12 KITT and Michael Knight set. The officially licensed package includes a six-inch Michael Knight figure and a KITT capable of transforming into Super Pursuit Mode with transformation sounds.

Published specifications include a light-up dashboard with a “Talking KITT” modulator, headlights, fog lights and brake lights, steering, suspension, opening headlights, a rotating license plate and remote-controlled light and sound functions. Factory Entertainment lists the approximately 17-inch vehicle at $350, with shipment expected in Q2 2027. It is a strong example of the company’s current approach: nostalgia supplies the recognizable icon, while electronics and interactive features justify the larger collector format.

Jaws, The Mummy and Premium Sixth-Scale Figures

Factory Entertainment also reinforced its move into sixth-scale figures. Its catalogue includes Quint and Matt Hooper from Jaws, Rick O’Connell from The Mummy and classic Battlestar Galactica characters. Jaws is particularly suited to the format because costumes and shark-hunting equipment are central to the characters’ identities, while the continued merchandising presence of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film shows the extraordinary durability of the property more than five decades later. Factory Entertainment’s SDCC announcement also named Jurassic Park among its expanding high-end figure plans.

Convention Exclusives Mix Serious Props With Cartoon Chaos

The Convention Exclusive Premiere range extended beyond science fiction. The Lord of the Rings received a Sting LARP Stunt Prop Replica, while DC-related products included Lobo’s Sickle, Ruthye’s Sword and a Krypto Collar Limited Edition Prop Replica. Looney Tunes supplied the comic relief with an ACME Anvil Scaled Prop Replica, transforming one of animation’s most famous instruments of destruction into a display piece. Many Convention Exclusive Premiere items were also offered online, while limited quantities were available at Booth #2743.

A Booth Built Around Nostalgia and Collecting Choice

Despite its many licenses, the booth followed a consistent idea: let collectors revisit familiar characters, vehicles and props as replicas, 3.75-inch figures, sixth-scale centerpieces or electronic vehicles. For its 15th anniversary Factory Entertainment used the Enterprise bridge, Cylon Raider, Replay figures and instantly recognizable props to show how broad the collectibles strategy has become.
