Star Trek licensee Master Replicas has done the collectible market a huge favor by putting together a line of three of the most famous props from Trek — a TOS-era communicator and type-II phaser, and a "First Contact"-era type-II phaser — in a very handsome, stylish package that has quality written all over it. These may be high-end products that aren't for the faint of wallet, but for those who are longing for top-of-the-line prop replicas, they are guaranteed to be something special. 

One thing that has always been a bit of a letdown for some is when reality meets fantasy; when fans of a television show get their hands on real props, they are usually a bit disappointed. This isn't so surprising when you think about it; props are intended merely to give the illusion of something they aren't — Star Trek props even more so because a phaser simply doesn't exist in the real world. Until now that is. OK, so the phaser doesn't fire, but it does just about everything else except composite the special effect of firing. Same goes for the communicator. With a few AAA batteries, these props look, sound, feel and act better than the original props for the show! Master Replicas has taken every effort to make sure the size, weight, color, texture and sounds match those of the show. And — extra points for this — there is a small button on the back of the communicator that makes the hailing signal. (Impress your friends by hailing yourself discreetly, then answering the call!)

All of Master Replicas' props include a display case, certificate of authenticity, and background information on the item.
