PlayMates Star Trek Original Series Communicator

The media could not be loaded. I wasn't looking for this, but it came up on my list of stuff to look at. The communicator is all plastic, and has lights and sound built in, the batteries (2-AAA) were installed when I received it. It was simple to turn the switch on, press the button and the cover flips open with the characteristic opening sound. The buttons work as well and give you a "scanning" sound and some clips of Kirk and Spock that sound like audio recordings from the TOS. This should go nicely with the Type 2 Phaser I got a couple of years ago. Nice props for an original series Star Trek themed party or get together. The price was right and it's fun, what more could you want? I think you'll enjoy it too.

Love the Star Trek phone so good and I love the green lights and the red lights and this is a good toy. You should get it. It’s so fun so I hope you enjoy this toy too.

Got this for a Halloween costume and am quite happy. It looks perfectly to scale as the TV version. It even flips open with a switch, with working controls, lights, fun sound fx. Solid closing lock. Sticker spiral display. Made of plastic. Great costume accessory, could work for fan film IMO. Belt clip is single molded piece of plastic, I'd hook it to a pants pocket instead of a thicker belt that might fatigue the joint. Comes in a great graphic package. Great value!

Unlike the equivalent level phaser, they hid all the screws on this one very well, so it looks good. It has an overall, and easily accessible, power switch on the bottom, so that you don't unnecessarily drain the power.But it does perform. The top opens with a button on the side and a spring and the characteristic click-click sound. Very nice. You even get audio clips from the show if you like.The speaker could be louder. The styling could be more metallic. But for the price, it's great.

Plastic and a bit cheap for the price but still a fun toy. It looks like it's decently made and durable enough. Flips open, makes those old style noises, and is fine for your basic costume party or desk knick knack. Has no lights but otherwise fine. There are better ones out there if you want to pay a lot more but this one is more than passable.

The sound effects are spot on. It's just a fun item to have. When I first got it I called out to the Enterprise but I didn't get a response. I was told to go online and found out that Starfleet had changed the frequencies last year on all of the active Starships. If yours won't transmit go to the online Starfleet database to find the new frequencies for this model. After the update, it transmitted with no issues. Also, make sure the Enterprise is in orbit. That information is also on the website. They are okay with you calling up to the ship but they will keep the conversation short because of other traffic. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Fun ! Quality toy !

For the price, this is an excellent replica toy for cosplay or just for fun. The size, weight, lights and sounds are all awesome! It even flips open with the press of a button and make the proper sound just like from the original series! Highly recommend!
