Diamond Select Toys TOS Phaser

[Iams001]

The Phase Pistol from Enterprise by Art Asylum is the one that is 3/4 the real size. This one is 1:1. It's actually engineered from the Phasers built for the DS9 Episode Trials and Tribbleations. If you compare this and the Rodd.com version, you find many of the proportions and details similar

actually the handle is brown because the actual hero props had brown handles like that

I have a new Black Handle Phaser with a few problems.

1- the gray dial on the left side of the Type-II does nothing even though it can still turn.

2- the light coming out of the Type-II is very weak compared to the smaller Type-I.

I replaced the demo batteries as soon as I opened it, so they are fresh. Any ideas?

Thanks.

@CollectionDX hmm ok! 1- the grey dial on the left is soppose to only raise the silver plate in the top of phaser 1, if this does not raise up and down it might be broken, mine did the same thing so i took it apart (do this at your own risk and be very careful, there are lots if fiddly bits. 2- if its and original edition 1 phaser the lights wern't as bright as the phaser edition 2 (which is the bronze handle shown in video) hope this helps

@rebelsatcloudnine

1- No, I was talking about the larger unit, the Type-II. Forward of the grip on the left side is a small gray dial that can be twisted. On mine, turning it does nothing. The instructions say it will turn the light on/off, but it does nothing.

2- Oh, really? Dammit- how do I keep getting lame ducks from DST!? First my HD Enterprise, and now this Black Handle Phaser! I hope my MiSB Ent-D doesn't get fouled up now...

Thanks for your help.

its the cricket phaser

[rebelsatcloudnine]

which is the cricket?

[SHADOSTRYKR]

@rebelsatcloudnine thats name of the small phaser, phaser type 1 I think you called it in the video. basically the phaser without the handle

[waffleownage]

I ordered one recently, but it came in with the knob at the top broken, and the electronics didnt work. I just got my money back, so im going to try ordering annother one

PS. do you have the Wrath of Khan phaser?

PPS. why the !@#$ did i say PS, i mean who does that in a video comment?!

[rebelsatcloudnine]

lol, no i don't have it, I'm rather sad to say, i've seen it and it looks awesome another 10/10 from DST.

[waffleownage]

i realy want it, i might order it with my hopefully not defective TOS phaser =)

[waffleownage]

yay, i just found a working TOS phaser today at Hastings, but sadly, they didnt have a wrath of khan phaser

@waffleownage

I have both Phasers, and the WOK Phaser has a lot of functions - check out my review on my channel if you want to know where I purchased mine for $20 w/ free shipping :)

[waffleownage]

@soflabob Ok i will =)

[soflabob]

Cool - thanks waffle :)

there are two types of bronze phaser. the first was more brass colored and was a celebration of the 40th anniversary. the second issue darker color was done to replicate the 3rd season bronze paint shceme.

[treybennett9750]

so they have em in toysrus

[rebelsatcloudnine]

they did, toysrus doesn't really carry a DST product line they just get them in once and a while.

[treybennett9750]

yeah cuz i got the TOS comunicter at toysrus

[AmazingStarTrekker]

yeah and by the way your bronze phaser is actually the correct color. Some websites say that it looks gold or bright bronze. but they are actually that color! so there you go. that is the correct "bronze" color!

[AmazingStarTrekker]

Well I was the first one to rate your video and i gave it 5 stars. Not only is the video great but the one who made it was nice. Thank you. Oh and by the way I love this toy so much. I might even buy more of their Diamond Select Products. You should work for them. LOL That would be fun. LOL

[rebelsatcloudnine]

Hey thankx man, greatly appreciated!!

[AmazingStarTrekker]

My Small Phaser Part Wont fit on the big phaser part. Do you have this problem

[rebelsatcloudnine]

I aucctually do, the bronze handle phaser doesn't "click" in the joint so if it gets swung around the phaser 1 falls out of phaser two body. With the black handle phaser it fits perfectly. Based on most i've read Diamond select toys didn't expect thrie star trek products to be such a hit so anything sencond generation isn't as good as the original, they make them alot faster and thus these problems occure.
