Star Trek Enterprise T-Shirt

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Clothing, Movies

It didn’t take long for makers of flashing t-shirts to come up with one for the new Star Trek movie. Although you cannot beam up with it, it should probably scare any Klingons or fashionistas away. The battery pack is in the cotton shirt’s lining, is removable for washing and needs 4 AAA batteries (not included.) Choose from medium, large or extra large and live long and prosper in the officially licensed shirt that will cost you 29.95 GBP (~$46.00.)

Star Trek iPhone Case

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cell Phones, Mods / Hacks, Movies

We dig that that there is plenty of hype around the new Star Trek movie, although we doubt the next generation can equal some of its predecessors. Still it has inspired lots of new accessories, including this iPhone case mod, which is actually an old Star Trek pin glued to the back. Hmm. We wonder if we attached our old tribble to the back of our phone, would it reproduce?

Surprise Showing of New Star Trek Movie in Texas

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Movies

It pays to be the right Trekker at the right time. Two hundred moviegoers in Austin, Texas, who were told they would see a trailer to the new Star Trek movie along with “The Wrath of Khan” Monday night, were pleasantly surprised when the Alamo Draughthouse Theater previewed the entire film. The older film had started when it appeared to have melted. After a couple of minutes Leonard Nimoy came out and told fans the good news. Mr. Spock hung around for the showing, as did filmmakers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. The reaction was mostly positive, going as far as a standing ovation when it was over.

Star Trek Urn and Casket

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Movies

Star Trek fans that are not being frozen or hurled into space after their demise will surely appreciate Eternal Images products. The Casket is reminiscent of the photon torpedo that was seen in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.” Their Urn features a design inspired by the 24th century in what they say is the “style of the United Federation of Planets.” Although the company has been around for a couple of years and have received plenty of publicity, each container has yet to materialize. Both should be available soon and you can sign on to be notified of price and arrival date. However, we still want you to live long and prosper.

Star Trek Communicator, Almost the Real thing

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Toys

We knew someone who was such a Star Trek fan that he bought an original Communicator, at an exorbitant price we might add. While it looked kewl, it didn’t really do anything. This one does. The full size classic gadget features realistic sound and lighting effects with phrases such as “Spock here, Captain.”

It also has the “Hailing” function. Press a button, close the Communicator, and the Enterprise will call you back 5 seconds later. You can find them for $29.99 at ThinkGeek and then ask Scotty to beam you up.
