There's not much merch out there for Logan's Run. I loved that movie because when first advertised on TV for the CBS television premier, they boldly announced it as a "Prelude to STAR WARS" or "..with the Impact of STAR WARS!". Being a little kid, I somehow thought it was actually connected to STAR WARS, which I hadn't seen yet. As an 8 year old, I really wanted to be a Sandman - but no toys or costumes in the stores. : (
I recently decided to produce my own runner tracking device, known as the DS Follower. It seems simple enough as it's basically a black box with a few details. Making this into a working prop was also a part of the project and fairly easy. Disclaimer: I'm a not very skilled or experienced, so please excuse the crude quality.
There are only a few good images of the DS Follower around. It was shown in close detail near the start of the movie when Logan called in a termination of a runner. This was a hero unit for close-ups with a snap-on overlay, basically a slide for the video screen of the device, used for in camera effects. Non hero devices have the clip on slide overlay removed. The device basically was seen as a communications device, tracker, data device, flashlight, signaling unit, etc. Sort of like our smart phones of today, but with the clunky look of a 1970's scifi prop. Other images of genuine movie prop piece are found at RacProps Issue 5 - Logan's Run, The Follower It has a satin black finish, clear rounded prism glass at the top, two small red pushbuttons on the left side a white frosted video screen, and a silver mesh speaker grill with a gray bar in the center. Pretty basic.
