Company Logo

Johnny Lightning was formed in 1994 as a subsidiary of Playing Mantis and is a company primarily known for producing collectible toy cars.

It produced a line of small painted Star Trek miniatures called "Legends Of Star Trek" from 2004 until 2008, after the parent company was acquired by the RC2 Corporation. The RC2 Corporation was acquired by Tomy in 2011[1]. The ships measured from ten to twelve centimeters long and were made of PVC plastic while their display stands were cast in metal.

Platz, the distributor of many Star Trek models in the Japanese market, re-released the line in Japan from 2011 until 2013.

A USS Constellation, a Shuttlecraft Copernicus with "atmospheric re-entry damage", a "cloaked" "The Enterprise Incident" USS Enterprise, and a "borgified" USS Voyager were slated for possible release[2] but were not produced.

Legends Of Star Trek: White Lightning Releases

JL White Lightning logo

Johnny Lightning's Legends of Star Trek ships have been released in both standard versions (as listed above) and in rare "White Lightning" variants with alternate paint schemes. They were randomly packed into cases shipped to retailers and made up "less than two percent" of the production run.

Series Five "White Lightning" packaging had a white stripe covering part of the purple stripe on the right side of the package front. All other White Lightning releases were sold in standard packaging.

Series One

Johnny Lightning S1 White Lightning ships

Johnny Lightning Legends of Star Trek Series One "White Lightning" ships

  • All ships are painted pearlescent white instead of the standard base color

  • All ships have an identical paint scheme to the standard releases but a tiny Starfleet "Delta Shield" is painted on the ship's lower hull

Series Three

Johnny Lightning S3 White Lightning ships

Johnny Lightning Legends of Star Trek Series Three "White Lightning" ships

  • Borg Cube - green plastic

    According to Johnny Lightning's parent company (and owner of AMT), this D7's paintwork resembles the original series' studio model's, but this is highly contentious.[[3]] Its coloration appears to more closely resemble that seen on the Star Trek: Phase II D7.[[4]]
