TOS Tricorder from Japanese DVD set

[rad1701]

Got this nice item from a fan of my Podcast. It's a TOS styled tricorder that comes with the TOS DVD set in Japan. It's very well done and is also an FM/AM radio. Check out the pics below:

Thats pretty dang spiffy.

Always thought they should have shaped the TOS DVD set plastic case like a tricorder. Its just about the right size.

Only sound is from the radio, no effects sound. It's so-so sound. Basically think a cheap FM-AM radio tossed inside.

Is that full scale or is it it 2/3rds scale like the Playmates?

 

[TOKI]

From what I've seen it's 2/3 scale. Better looking than the Platmtes though.

Bloody hell...

Hey Paramount...I have all 3 sets...why can't WE get this very cool item?

 

[temponaut]

About two months before the complete three-season boxed set was announced, I bought the entire original series on 40 separate discs (two episodes per disk). :cry

It was my single largest order ever from Amazon.

No, it's actually a bit bigger than full scale. I'll try and put up a pic with it next to my MR tricorder as a comparison.

Here's a comparison shot for scale:

 

[Sporak]

Yeah , but it's a Radio...

That is Very cool.

 

[rad1701]

It's neat to have something a little more unique in tricorders. At least in the USA.

 

[Jimbo890]

too cool.

When it comes to the Japanese DVD sets and the extras they get we here in the United States really do get the short end of the stick.

That IS pretty cool, but who isn't thinking it would have been cooler if it was a DVD player?

You know it can be done with today's technology.

 

[Reaper57]

The mock-up, photoshopped version from their website or do you have actual pictures of the actual item for sale? The picture at the site below is clearly photoshopped, and badly done at that. :lol
