Longtime Stargate SG-1 fans will undoubtedly remember the Asgard's pivotal role in Season 4's opening episode, "Small Victories," which offered an up-close look at one of the franchise's most technologically advanced alien civilizations. Inspired by the gods of Norse mythology, the Asgard were way more advanced than human beings, yet even they found themselves outmatched by the relentless Replicators.
With their homeworld facing destruction, Thor turned to Major Carter for help, realizing that humankind's primitive approach to problem-solving might actually work. Meanwhile, back on Earth, O'Neill and Teal'c confront a terrifying Replicator infestation aboard a Russian submarine, setting up two unique battles against the same enemy in one of the franchise's most memorable moments.
Between the unveiling of a powerful Asgard warship named after O'Neill and Carter's unconventional plan to save Thor's people, "Small Victories" remains a standout chapter in Stargate's history, and it's no wonder it'll be taking the spotlight again in an upcoming March 2027 release.
Master Replicas is bringing one of Stargate SG-1's most iconic spacecraft back to life with a brand-new die-cast collectible recreating the iconic Asgard warship, the O'Neill, introduced in Season 4's "Small Victories." Named in honor of Colonel Jack O'Neill, the warship represented the pinnacle of Asgard engineering, having been designed specifically to combat the terrifying Replicators. Unfortunately, its first mission would also be its last, with Samantha Carter devising an unconventional strategy that involved sacrificing the vessel to lure the Replicators into a deadly trap.
Now, more than 26 years after its original television appearance, fans can finally add the legendary spacecraft to their collections. Master Replicas' Asgard Ship O'Neill Die-Cast Model measures approximately 7 inches (17 cm) long, 6 inches wide, and 2 inches tall. Unlike conventional plastic models, the collectible features die-cast construction.
Master Replicas actually developed the model using the original visual-effects files from Stargate SG-1, so it reproduces the spacecraft's distinct design with incredible accuracy. The replica also includes a dedicated display stand, making it ideal for showcasing alongside the company's previously released Bilskirnir model of Thor's ship.
The O'Neill replica is currently available to preorder for $84.99, with shipping expected in March 2027. However, the manufacturer notes that this release window is provisional and could change. Additionally, the promotional images currently available are digital renders rather than photographs of the finished product.
This release also arrives at a particularly interesting time for the wider Stargate franchise. After Amazon MGM Studios unexpectedly abandoned its planned Stargate revival from Martin Gero earlier this year, the project appeared to be dead in the water. Fortunately, October brought another unexpected development, with reports confirming that WandaVision and Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer is developing a new Stargate television series for Amazon MGM Studios.
Although the project remains in development, without a confirmed premiere date or series order, it's encouraging to see the franchise getting another chance. Between the prospect of Stargate finally returning to television and impressive new collectibles celebrating its history, it's shaping up to be a great time for the franchise and its longtime fans.
