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

Always wanted one - finally saw one during the Christmas discount at Bestbuy and got one - and it does not disappoint, top quality, sight and sound - the use as a remote control is only secondary - not very intuitive, but overall very satisfied

I can bullseye a wamprat from thirty meters, and heat up a pile o rocks for cooking it! As prop replicas go, I have found no better. As universal remote controls go well, ...it would have been better off left as a simple high quality prop replica. Sounds, lights and the ability to remove the hand-phaser from the pistol grip for authenticity harkening back to the original classic series. At $150 - it isn't for everyone.

Phaser has both the small hand held and the gun type phaser. I've counted upwards of 15 different sound effects so far. A little difficult to program but it can be done. Do recommend it!

The phaser you've wanted since the sixties. Every detail is perfection.

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.

The Wand Company's phaser is a labor of love from a company greatly focused on detail and quality (appropriate, as a co-founder of the company is an ex-engineer). The product is certainly oriented towards hardcore Trek fans, and I would argue that only such fans apply due to its price and popular, yet niche appeal. Though expensive, the phaser is reasonably-priced for what is provided. The product is display-grade, but can be used for cosplay and of course, as a universal remote. I found it's best suited for display and cosplay, as the gesture-based remote control is impractical beyond all but the most singular inputs (volume control is sluggish, as each volume level requires remote input & cannot be held down for rapid level change). Ultimately, I whole-heartedly recommend this product, as I too am a hardcore and lifelong Star Trek fan. It serves as a lovely display piece in my living room where it can be admired, occasionally used for conversation and turn my home theater electronics on and off when the desire strikes.

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.

This is a great prop, or replica of the Star Trek TOS phaser! It's made with mixture of rubber, plastic and metal components. The phaser and the case has a sturdy look and feel. Both are high quality and you can tell someone or a team gave this product a lot of thoughts and planning. Also I got it on sale around Christmas time in 2017/New Year 2018 so it was a bargain ! I ended up buying 2 Wand phaser a 1 Wand communicator. I'm not using it as a remote control, but as a prop. I wish the battery could be taken out easily. Wand claims the battery will last the life of the product (or expected time that most people keep the prop) from the Wand website " The power cell in the Phaser I cannot be changed and will last the lifetime of the product." oh, well, it still an excellent replica. I hope Wand makes the Star Trek Discovery phaser next or the TOS tricoder. Another company is already making the STD phaser but it is kind of pricey compared to the Wand TOS phaser.
