British Phaser

I’m a sucker for purty toy packaging and these shots of the UK version of the Star Trek Phaser just had me drooling. It’s so nice that I’ll forgive the dye job on Shatner’s hair. Thanks to Ebay seller retrotoyboy for letting me use these.

That drawing is like a weird combo of Kirk and Scotty–Kirk's face with Scotty's hair and shirt.

The melange of memories that thing dredges up is astounding. I won't bore you, but will say that the Star Trek projecting phaser inspires memories of the giant Revell Snap-Tite Tyranosaurus model among other connected things.

Thanks.
