Playmates Star Trek 2009 Movie Roleplay Toys

These toys are terrible. Every-Single-One! The Chrome on the phaser isn’t movie accurate and it can give away your position easily due to the shiny-ness of the Chrome. I hate the tricorder. Look at the medical tricorder or the TNG tricorder from older series’ and tell me this one is better. because if you say this one is better then you are mildly retarded. The communicator really does look like a power ranger toy. Damn these really dissapointed me. i have all three and I want to sell them.

the comunicator is the only one that does not disgust me, the phaser is crap, and the tricoder make no sense with ANY of the series, thanks JJA for ruining the Star Trek franchise!

I disagree regarding the tricorder. The original looked a little more functional, even if it was a very ’60s design. There’s no screen and no compartment to hold a hand scanner like the original. This one is also smaller than the 24th century equivalent — so much for progress!

The round front of the phaser looks a bit similar to the phase pistol, but that’s where the similarities end IMO.

the tricorder looks like the hand scanners from enterprise

i am glad the tricorder was smaller. i never liked the bigger one form the original show. the phaser looks similar to the one on enterprise.

These are junk but I had some room in back of one of my self’s so you can’t see it unless you know where to look….lol
I didn’t bother to put top of the line battery in so what it has is it..
I am not into the figures that much . I would have more ships if I had the room.
I did just buy another red trigger coyle so now I got 2 of them.
I at least had to see what these 3 did. the tricorder I would say is the best if I had to choose 1.
I bet $300 a hand on black Jack so $50 is nothing to me.

I just bought all 3 at toysrus yesterday 4-20-09 $15.99 each. glade I didn’t pay $100 on e-bay……lol
or $30 each on e-bay.
they had it all at the store. I didn’t buy the ship because I have no room for it….lol
the blue sound on the phaser I thought was broke till now….lol
the rest is ok stuff for $16.
but if you want to see a real $100,000.00 colection go to my site here. jsf525 and watch star trek collection part 1,2, and 3 of 3,
enjoy

I can’t speak for the look since I can’t see it, but the sounds don’t sound good at all. At least the Enterprise sounds loud and has some semblance of fidelity to it, whereas these toys sound as bad as the ones from the late ’80’s or early 90’s. I’m sticking to the ships, as that is where my interests lie anyway.

I agree, very poor design and construction.

This sort of stuff is what I expect to see hanging on walls at dollar stores. Even some cheap water guns I’ve seen are more inspired in look than that phaser.

Thankfully Diamond Select Toys is out there making far superior options for us.

when will the toys be in stores?

The Phaser and Tricorder looks like the one from Star Trek III. Cool

I saw these in the store and I was amazed on how Playmates did such a crappy job on them. That’s why I didn’t even consider buying these. I know they had bad designs from the beginning, but the Chromed Plastic look really makes these look like those cheap “after market” toys you see on sale for a buck.

I have most of the 1990s Playmates action figures, ships, and role playing toys and this line doesn’t even come close. You think Playmates would have done a better job NOT WORSE.
