The Wand Company - Star Trek™ Phaser Universal Remote - Black / Grey

This phaser is a perfect replica of the "hero" Phaser from the original Star Trek TV series. It is made of high quality materials including metal and composite plastic. It has weight and feels like a real Phaser. It comes disassembled in three parts (type 1 and type 2 Phasers, and the "power pack" handle) in a nice case that makes it look like the real thing. It also comes with a magnetic stand (handle is a strong magnet). The included micro USB cable plugs into the top Phaser type 1 that holds an internal lithium battery; so it works either separated or connected to the Phaser type 2 grip. In addition to 9 Phaser sound effects from the show -- including phaser overload -- it has multiple color light effects (including the clear indicator, movable sight, beam emitter and hidden dilithium crystal) and is also a wand style universal remote control. I haven't programmed the remote control functions yet; so I can't comment on that feature. It is a beautiful display piece for any fan of the original Star Trek TV series.

I am not the biggest Trekkie, but this thing was a MUST BUY! Incredible build quality & accuracy Great choice of sound effects excellent storage case & standing device provided MY ONLY COMPLAINT : that there is no Polaroid camera/Tricorder

Collectors will recognize this as THE best-ever phaser replica (it's better than replicas costing much more). It would be super-cool even as just a static prop, but this phaser can be programmed to control most any IR-remote device! Stun your TV! Fully Awesome! The only challenge comes in remembering which gestures you've programmed to each function, but who cares with a replica this nice? It's a joy just to hold in one's hand - and even the case it comes in is cool! BRAVO The Wand Company!

What an awesome Star Trek Phaser, With a very professional pistol case with the best foam insert which looks very realistic. Nice feel of Weight, awesome electronic sounds, and the vibration in unit when fired in FX mode was nice touch along with the etched magnetic stand it makes the perfect display setup for that diehard Star Trek Fan. Worth the wait for a very realistic copy of the Phaser without paying thousands for custom made ones. Cons Had to wait 50 years for this, LOL Volume could be a bit louder esp for the self-destruct mode, It does have 0-9 volume control other wise it will not disappoint.

Found reviews right, it was hard to program. Still can't turn tv on/off but I'll keep trying. Still very realistic looking and great sound efffects.

I've seen this online at various sites for a while now, but I've deferred purchase. When I saw one in person, I couldn't resist. As a phaser prop replica, it's the best I have, but not really enough to rationalize the expense. As a remote, it's awkward, and I doubt if anyone actually uses it that way. I think I'm going to keep it, primarily to complete my collection. It is nice that you don't have to buy batteries since it has a USB charger. My recommendation is qualified, based on the fact that most hardcore ST fans who can afford this will like it.

As a kid I grew up watching Star Trek. I always wanted a phaser but the best I could find was a model kit. Undersized and brittle it didn't last long. Later I got a toy phaser but it was just 'less' than I had hoped for. The Wand Co. Phaser is completely different than either of those. Correct in dimensions, accurate in appearance and capable of a wide range of sounds this one is awesome! Short of actually being a real phaser for understandable reasons this phaser is the very best next thing. I would highly recommend it to both collectors and cosplayers.

Let's be honest. If you don't know what it is or its significance, you wouldn't even consider buying it. The real question is it worth getting? YES! Even if it wasn't a basic remote the collectible quality alone is worth it. It's not a limited numbered edition, but the craftsmanship is really good and the sound and lights are just icing. Good for Cons because now you can carry a great working prop and not have to baby it or walk in fear of damaging it like a high priced version.
