I think the two pics of the Enterprise are two different toys, because one toy looks very nice, while the other looks like complete shit.

The Narada looks nothing like an "Octopus" as originally described. I'd say it looks pretty similar to the Romulan attack drones seen in Enterprise. The Enterprise (first picture at least), looks quite nice.

I think I know what's so wrong about the ship- the design, font, bridge allhave this awful 1970's look about them. Like they were things left over from Phase II.

I'm of the opinion that although the ship is commanded by Romulans, it actually belongs to some other species. I'll probably end up wrong or half-right though.

Of course it also fits a lineage with a locust, so take that as you will.
Wasn't that a re-used CGI model from some other episode though?
Somehow I doubt that the art dept guys from the new movie took anything from Enterprise into account when designing the look of the ships or sets: moreso the pity.
