Ed's Azrak-Hamway #6371 Star Trek Phaser Water Pistol
Woodsy,
Here's a little sumthin' I picked up recently that you might like. Normally, I don't collect Star Trek stuff, but I got this for a reasonable price so what the heck!
I had one. It was a good reproduction of the original phaser, and not too bad size-wise. I had the squirt gun, and a disc-shooter that I believe was the same maker, and maybe even one that just made a 'click' noise when you fired it. And I know I had a smaller one that was a flashlight. And a larger one with a flashlight and these silhouette-type cutouts to put on the front. Can you tell that I was a big-time Trekkie during that "golden period?"
I don't have a Ahi Phaser Ed alas. It's a gorgeous thing. Such an iconic design someone came up with at Star Trek. Recognisable anywhere. I think Remco did one too and a utility belt.
Agreed on the design. The people responsible for the props and models for Star Trek were masters of the craft! They did amazing things with what resources they had.

ReplyDeleteYou were a big Phaser fan Baron! A Trekkie alright! Was the golden period in the Sixties would you say?

DeleteI like that. I've got the Wand Company phaser, which is a great replica.
