Not bad. You know what? I MIGHT even buy one, to hold me over until I can get a PROPER prop replica of it (probably when Master Replicas makes their version, since that will undoubtedly be the only one Viacom will ALLOW us to buy! :rolleyes )
BWA HA HAHAHAHAHA!!!! :lol
That's fantastic! :lol
I'm sure the crew is glad it says 'TRICORDER' so helpfully on it.
I wonder how they get by without 'COMMUNICATOR' and 'PHASER' written on the other two? It'd be a shame to confuse one for the other; you might stun yourself when trying to call the ship.
LOL
"Captain Pike, sir."
"Yes, Mr Spock?"
"It has come to my attention that the bridge is not wheelchair accessible nor is it handicapped friendly."
"Whats your point, Spock? Its not like any of us are going to be whizzin around a starship confined to a wheelchair any time soon. Get some perspective, Spock!"
"Yes, Captain."
:lol
You guys are killing me!!! :lol
Let's hope that lightning strikes twice.
Case in point.
#1. Wrath of Kahn was the BEST Trek movie ever filmed.
#2. Wrath of Kahn had the WORST props ever used.
So, grab some popcorn and get ready for a great film!
I respectfully disagree. I've always been a fan of the phaser props from the first 2
Trek films. I like the ones from
3 and
4 better, sure. In fact, they're my favorite phaser design of all time. But I also have a special place in my heart for the
WOK phasers, too. :cool
Okay, here’s a shot of the prop from Trek XI that someone posted, briefly, over on Hobbytalk (the link has since been removed).
We’ve seen a lot of phaser designs over the years, and IMO this represents an improvement over many of them.

Not bad... and our FIRST picture of the actual prop... which is what this thread was originally supposed to be about!
thumbsup
Am I imagining things, or is that a
TOS-style thumb trigger on the side of the handle? :confused
That's one thing I clearly remember from
TOS... Rodenberry's prop makers were always giving alien weapons the "dustbuster" shape and thumb-activated triggers that turned up again later on in
TNG. So whoever designed this phaser was clearly at least somewhat familiar with earlier designs for phasers and disruptors.
Now, the bigger question is whether that thumb trigger fires the beam, or if it's for something else... perhaps the "transformation" from stun to kill? :confused
I KNEW it, they are all silver. Where are the blue/grey accents you speak of?
As someone else mentioned, maybe this isn't a "hero" prop.
Not all bad.
Where is the trigger?
Swinging barrel is still stupid.
Better be some time travel/alternate universe thing or it doesn't go between the Hand Laser and the Phaser 2. Otherwise, stupid beyond measure.
There have been hints from the producers that this movie does, indeed, set-up an alternative timeline. But that's not to say that it wipes out the original timeline.
Hey now... wait a minute. That doesn't suck quite so much! :lol
The prop has got a few subtler angles... it's not so tall and boxy, for one thing. Not bumper chrome, either. And no blue "stun" barrel.
HMMMMMMMMM. I may have to buy the Master Replicas one after all. :cry
Nice side-by-side comparison. Thanks for that.
ROTFLOL!!! :lol
Here's a painted version of the toy...
Looks better without the blue nozzle...and less of the red.
Here's one with the Grey added to the body.
I think I can work with that
I certainly like this one better than the Next Gen era dustbusters etc...which never looked like phasers to me.
To me a phaser is a raygun with a handle about midway to the body...toward the front.
Anything else is just a gun.
Very nice... Photoshopped, I take it?
