This box and toy itself are showing its age. The view screen is hard to rotate, the battery compartment has erosion (but no batteries), the strap is very short. I wanted this all for the looks (cosplay), till the day I might be able to purchase The Wand Company’s Tricorder (probably never at this point; 😕).

    My parents bought this for me when it was new, as well as the phaser and communicator! The strap was the perfect length for me at that age…

    I loved the little blueprint sheet that came with them.

        Looked it up - 1995. I’d have been all of eleven at the time.

        Apart from the scale, I remember it as being pretty screen accurate. I think the first Starship Exeter fan film used these, with a little modification.

    Very nice.

    I have one of the TNG versions, and I am partway through refitting it work lights and electronics. I may even finish, someday.
