    Help Me Pick a Movie Phaser

    I am working on a Star Trek custom and would appreciate your input. What is your favorite phaser of the "red uniform" movie era? There are several to choose from...

    I think I'm leaning towards the Wrath of Khan phaser, because I think it is the most visually distinct from the Mego style (and because it is handy for zapping creatures that burrow into your ear canal)... although I appreciate the other 2 having a more "classic" look.

    Which would you vote for?

    I am always sorry I never picked up the Entertainment Earth Star Trek The Motion Picture Phaser replica. Something about it with all the little button settings on top is appealing. I guess that's the same as the Wrath of Khan Phaser, so that gets my vote.

      # 4 phaser aside from the tos original phaser that's my fav.

        I've always loved the TMP/TWOK streamlined phaser (and I also regret passing on the replica). Classic in design, with a great SF aesthetic you just don't see any more.

        On the other hand, the TFF and TUC design looks pretty hard and intimidating.

        Still, for a custom figure, I think the TMP/TWOK design would be the most distinctive and "toyetic" . . .

          I also like the original series one best, but number four from Star Trek Three is the closest, so that's what I like.

            I guess I would choose the original series phaser, but of course I'm a bit bias, also really like TMP phaser.

              So I ended up doing both the TWOK and TSFS phasers. I'm pretty happy with how they came out.
