Role-playing
[edit] Micro Machines
Star Trek Micro Machines were Star Trek models produced by Galoob from 1993 to 1997. They were small sized, about about three inches long, pre-painted and pre-assembled.
Galoob produced vessels from The Original Series, the movies, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager.
The first editions featured ships and stations from the TOS, the movies, TNG and DS9. When the second edition ships were launched, some new ships were packaged with ships from the first edition. The second editions featured more ships from TOS, the movies, TNG, DS9 and the first models from VOY.
There were also special ships made, available only as part of three box sets, in which all the models were available. They were ships from "All Good Things...", the USS Enterprise-A and the USS Enterprise-E.
Other collector sets featuring silvered and bronzed versions were issued.

[edit] Trivia
- Some Micro Machines of the Starfleet ships were painted silver and used as part of the model of the Starfleet Command building in San Francisco, first seen in DS9: "Homefront" and used several other times throughout DS9 and VOY.
- Other Micro Machines were painted pink, yellow, and blue and hung from a mobile seen in Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres's quarters in VOY: "Prophecy".
