I have just ordered a new Starfleet Type-III Phaser Rifle from USA ... as shown in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" & "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".  Need some assembly and painting. No electronics since it's solid resin. As usual, to play safe, clearance from relevant authorities will be sought. |

Nice addition to your growing collection, Doc! Just a heads up, though. Coolmodels is a known recaster, so being a recast, their kits lose quite a lot of the details of the original. Hopefully, you'll a get a decent version. On a side note, I've also just received a resin Assault Phaser with metal parts from Star Trek V/VI:   This is, in my view, the coolest of the movie phasers as it has got real world looks and features. |

Dr EMH and Kalkamel,
Thanks for sharing the pics of your Starfleet Phaser Rifle.
Dr EMH, did you have much problem clearing the S'pore Custom this time round as your Phaser looks more like a resin model kit than a hand weapon? 
Kalkamel, your phaser bears an uncanny resemblance to a Bosch hand drill! ;D

Thanks for sharing ur pic, Kal. I have a similar TOS Phaser from Playmate (the detachable magazine holds the battery to power sound and lights), and I used it once for cosplaying during a charity event on blood donation last year ...   The good news is Master Replicas is now releasing this TOS phaser recently, limited edition to 2000 sets worldwide only!   Pre-order now ... masterreplicas.com/customer/community/news/detail.php?id=140 |
