They should have just skipped the models and made it like they did later, with the playset. I still have the phaser and communicator. I also got the watergun phaser which had the Gold Key Star Trek logo on the side.Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-54367572854669411772010-12-19T18:23:43.930-08:002010-12-19T18:23:43.930-08:00Yep, back in the day..

All the items were a bit small.., but just having that communicator and phaser..? We used it for years.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-83595596443387243002010-12-18T23:07:06.909-08:002010-12-18T23:07:06.909-08:00Thanks for the great post, Frederick!

I've never seen the bios for the animated series characters; it was neat how so much of his background was thought out ... too bad none of it was used. Apparently the animators didn't read the bio because he's only shown playing a lute in the series (maybe somebody left the "f" off in their notes from the director's meeting).<br /><br />Loved that model kit as a kid - like AMT's exploration kit, it made for fun (albeit short-lived) toy at a time when there virtually were no Star Trek toys (To think, my phaser was a model kit while my 3-year-old has phasers w/lights and sound from Pike's, Kirk's <i>and</i> Picard's era).Rob Bignellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286916984989820845noreply@blogger.com
