Shoot Your TV – But Set For Stun – With ThinkGeek’s Phaser Remote
 |
Next time The Big Bang Theory comes on, don’t just yell at the TV – fire at it with a fully accurate phaser to change the channel! Sculpted from 3D scans of the last known actual phaser prop from classic Star Trek, Captain Kirk’s favorite weapon (besides his naked chest, that is) features 10 sounds, 38 programmable commands and “tactile force-feedback,” whatever that is (some kind of vibration, I assume – which makes me shudder to think what non-remote functions this might also be used for).
The phaser remote will be revealed at San Diego Comic Con on July 23 and can be experienced first-hand at ThinkGeek’s booth (#3849). It’s also an essential part of your Starfleet Elvis cosplay.
