F-Toys is a Japanese company which manufactured small pre-painted plastic models of Star Trek starships in 2008 and 2010 as the Star Trek Fleet Collection. They were retailed in Japan by Platz as a "gashapon" toy line.

The ships were designed for F-Toys by FineMolds, a Japanese modeling company. Ships in the collection measure nine to thirteen centimeters in length and each is packaged with an adjustable, individually labeled stand. A small amount of assembly is required. Most ships are produced in 1/2500 scale excepting the USS Enterprise-D which is 1/5000 scale.
