Photos at the link below. Looks really great, with a full bridge and engineering, although unless the photos don't show them, including the transporter room and sickbay would've been really clutch. I certainly would have killed for this when I was younger (and since I have zero room for it, I'll likely pass on it).

Yes, this can't be pitched at anything other than the adult nostalgia market. Can't see many kids wanting a toy (even if a reasonable price) from a 55yo TV show. Maybe a JJPrise move version might do better (again, at a reasonable price) but then the initial success of the first two followed by the fall-off in numbers the third got would make that an equally unlikely proposition.
