I got a lot of great feedback on the recent Azrak Hamway toy galleries
(http://www.azrakhamway.com/)Including a ton of submissions from friends, so much so that I'll be spinning off some of the material into additional galleries. Today, I thought I'd focus on some of the AHI Star Trek stuff my pal Bill sent me.

Mr Spock was a huge sky diver, you didn't know that?

As was Captain Kirk apparently, I don't think I've seen a Kirk Parachuter since I was a kid.

Soaring enterprise, I think the thing I love the most about these products is not one thing has the same package, you won't find that today.

I had the saucer/phaser gun as a kid.:smile:

Me too, I had forgot all about it till I saw the picture

[toys2cool]

awesome! I love it all :grin:

I really like the packaging. And I think a sky diving Kirk and Spock is pretty funny. "Mr. Spock, we don't need the transporter. Man your parachute and we'll sky-dive to the planet surface." :smiley1:

Wow, those are neat, and the packaging is all over the place and completely busy like all AHI stuff, but man it works. It makes you excited about the toy.

I never knew they made the Trek parachutists. I guess Kirk did sky-dive in that cut scene from Generations. AHI was ahead of their time!


I just noticed the kid on the soaring Enterprise package has a Trek uniform shirt on. AHI apparently knew they were selling to the hardcore convention geek crowd!

:rotfl: Well with all the transporter malfunctions and shuttlecraft accidents I guess it was the next best thing.:smiley1:

I never saw these. I loved both squirt guns and Star Trek and would have gone nuts for the phaser squirt gun.

Hey,if Kirk can go rock climbing,why can't he go parachuting?
