RubiesRubies Star Trek the Next Generation Phaser, Standard

Right-o, lets get started.-Pros:-Very affordable-Clean, crisp, and dare I say, perfect sounds effects!-Durable plastic-Easy to get to the batteries-Very good paint job! It looks exactly how it should.Cons:-It does not light up (I thought it did for some reason)-It has 4 preset sound effects. Each one plays in a series. The 1st press "fires" a low power "beam". The 2nd fires a medium level beam, the 3rd fires about a 2-3~ second long, high level Phaser beam, and the 4th sound plays all 3 previous sounds right after the other. This is a con because I thought there would be "separate" sounds; such as when you click it, it fires the short burst, and if you hold it down, it fires a constant beam. It however, does not. It's all about the timing.-It's a bit bulkier than the "real" prop. (Which makes it not "fit like a glove" in your hand. But it is manageable)All in all though, it is definitely worth it in my opinion! Honestly, I got this for the sole reason to take it apart and make it as real as the one used in the show. I was afraid that I would have to replace the speaker because some said that the sounds are quiet. I havent had a problem with it being quiet yet. In fact, the sounds are quite loud! If you attempt to modify it, be careful! It "can" break if you are not careful, but otherwise, the plastic is VERY strong.

As a cosplayer and a geek of all trades I am a big Star Trek fan. No Star Trek costume is complete without a phaser or a Tricorder. This one is a bit cheaper but it is still a very fun product. I am a Mr. Frugal when it comes to my stuff. I do splurge on a few things but when I travel at warp speed to the nearest comic convention, or if I am dressing up for Halloween or if I am doing some other function where a costume is needed. If I feel like fighting Borg or Klingons or the scum of the Trek verse I gear up with my trusty Phaser which is this one. This is one of the coolest products I own.

This lasted 8 hours of the Ren Faire with my husband turning it on every 10 minutes or so. It still has juice in it. It has to go through its repertoire of sounds. You can’t choose what you want to hear. It’s generally well-made for the price. Don’t expect crisp and clean edges on the plastic. It is definitely a cheap toy.

Good for cosplay sound effects were spot on, got it quick this is a a fun purchase

This is an OK product. The packaging is rather bland and this is as cheaply made as you might think it is. That said it looks the part to a decent degree and works just fine. It's something nice to start with for it's price and if you have kids it can be a good toy for them or a decent piece for a budget costume.

This arrived in perfect condition, and maybe a day or two earlier than expected. Now, it may not light up and do some of the things other more expensive versions do, BUT it works perfectly fine for the price.

Looking forward to using it on the Star Trek Cruise!! It’s obviously a toy but as advertised and awesome. I’m in the process of making some cosmetic changes to match what I want… like adding pink and making some parts glow in the dark. Please note my pictures reflect my upgrades. 🖖🏼🩷

I purchased three for a Star Trek themed Birthday party…It makes one sound and the tip lights up. Kids of all ages will enjoy it.
