 Star Trek Phaser fans Feb 11, 2010
It was just what my son (12) wanted since he likes Star Trek. It has a cool "flip" feature which makes it a clever toy. plastic, but it looks nice and is durable enough for "shooting" around corners and it lights up. He and his friends/younger siblings enjoy it whether or not they're into Star Trek. We ordered 2 and they arrived on time in pristine packages.
Straight out of the movie prop!!! Oct 28, 2009
I've just received this Playmates Phaser "prop" that was seen in the new Abrams Star Trek movie. No pun intended, all I can say is I'm stunned by it! I didn't like it at first, but when I saw it in action in the movie, I wanted to get it straight away! Its mostly chromed and the features of the phaser is really fun! There is an on/off switch at the bottom. And on top, there is some sort of volume like dial that lets you power the phaser up. And the best feature of all is the flipping barrels from stun to vaporize mode just like it does in the movie!!! I'm having fun with this phaser and its not only for kids, I would recommend this to all Star Trek fans of all ages. The only downside of the phaser is the visible screws on the other side. If only Playmates would have covered it up.
Nonetheless, this phaser prop is something that adults like me can display proudly at home and say that this was the phaser Kirk and Spock used when they beamed aboard the Narada in the recent Star Trek movie!!! Excellent stuff!!!

Not your dad's phaser Aug 03, 2009
I was thrilled to see them rebooting Star Trek. I was hoping to see familiar faces and hardware. This Phaser is totally different from the TV series. It does have some design elements of the original, like the rear overhang, but that's it. I do like the flip tip for stun or kill, but it seems that those are the only two settings. The original phaser had many. Not to mention the detachable phaser one which this one does NOT have. Out of all the re designs of the trek props, this one offends me the least. I can live with this one. So if you collect these things, get it and enjoy.

 Star Trek Phaser- a less than stunning toy Jul 14, 2009
So I'm wondering why playmates has done such a crappy job on the new Star Trek movie toys. The first time they put out a line of ST:TOS toys that were pretty great. Then Art Asylum took over and put out an AWESOME line of Star Trek toys. So why is it the stuff from the movie kind of sucks. They look pretty good but as soon as you hold one they just seem, well cheap. Over all I'm disappointed with them.
If you're a Star Trek fan... Jun 26, 2009
Got this for Halloween. Good price, fairly accurate and does all the functions the prop in the movie does (except fire real lasers...oh well...)
