Posted by Michael Pinto on Feb 15, 2010 in Hobbies and Collections, Star Trek
I usually avoid the holiday focused booths at the Toy Fair, but Rubie’s had these adorable Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock Halloween which captured my heart. The manufacturer also has a full line of Watchmen costumes for adults who like to cosplay. Read more… Kirk’s Chair: To Boldly Sit Where No Fan Has Sat Before…

The minute I came across this Classic Captain’s Chair Replica To Boldly Smell…

Inspired by Captain Kirk Star Trek Tiberius Cologne promises to be casual yet commanding. Now frankly I always pictured Kirk as more of an Old Spice type, although he always struck me at the type that wouldn’t go all metrosexual to attract the green skinned ladies.

I hate to say it, but this is one of the more clever Star Trek t-shirts I’ve ever run across on Etsy! For starters the humor is conceptual which always wins me over, but I also love the smart looking illustrational style on the shirt itself.

So I guess the torch has been passed? This video from April 25th shows a meeting between William Shatner and Chris Pine. The clip is from Shatner and he looks very cool about the whole thing, but it still makes me just a tad sad that he won’t have some sort of bit part in this film. My own theory more and more is that Paramount was too cheap. Read more… Shatner Watches the Star Trek XI Trailer

Watching this video is painful to me — William Shatner is a class act in this case, but there’s something cruel about not having him in this film. It would be one thing if Nimoy didn’t have a cameo because then you could argue that “we just couldn’t make it work with the script”. But sadly my bet is that while this may been about ego, it most likely had more to do with money (which may not be unrelated to ego). Shame on Paramount for letting this happen this way.

No this isn’t real, it’s just a fan made video! But wouldn’t it be nice if it was real? To Boldly Decorate Like No Other Fanboy Before

For me the original Star Trek will always be my first fanboy love — and if you feel the same way and want to show it this collection of over 20 different Star Trek Peel and Stick Wall Appliques can be a fun low budget way (only $13!) of showing your appreciation for those who went boldly where no other TV show went before. There are also two additional versions: On that features Captain Kirk and other with Mr. Spock: Read more… I Wish This Captain Kirk’s Chair Toy was Full Scale!

This is a demonstration of the sound effects on the new Diamond Select Toys Star Trek Deluxe Chair — as you can see below the chair also includes a replica Kirk. However when I first spotted this video my hopes were for a full sized chair… Read more… |
