Master Replicas was founded in 2003 and was best known for its production of high-quality limited edition 1:1 diecast replicas of Star Wars lightsabers and for producing scaled Star Wars spaceships. The company also released a number of licensed items from Disney, Spiderman and The Muppets franchises. Shortly after losing its Star Wars licensing in 2006, the company merged with Corgi.

Typical Master Replicas Star Trek packaging
In 2003, the company was licensed to produce highly-detailed Star Trek prop replicas which all came with a custom display case and a certificate of authenticity.
No new Master Replicas Star Trek releases were forthcoming as the combined companies abruptly lost their licensing to produce Star Trek products in 2008. These licenses were awarded to eFX Collectibles and QMx.

Background information
Prior to the release of Polar Lights's highly acclaimed 1:350 model kit of the original USS Enterprise in 2012, Master Replica's 2004 model of the ship was considered the most accurate available at the time for a general public. This was not a fluke, as the company had solicited input from, arguably, the most knowledgeable person on the eleven-foot Enterprise studio model alive at the time, Gary Kerr. Kerr, who had by that time taken numerous measurements of the original model, was referred to Master Replicas by studio model maker Gregory Jein, whom they had approached in the first place, and was subsequently employed by the company as a consultant. Not only Kerr contributed, but John Eaves, Steve Horch and his companion Michael Moore, contributed in constructing a prototype model. (Sci-fi & fantasy modeller, Vol. 26, p. 48)
