    Wow, how could you choose. I guess I'll take the belt. The backyard play possibilities with that are mindblowing.

      I’d go with the utility belt, as well. Remco seemed to have mastered those.

        I wish they were still selling the belt in the early 80s. That way I could have avoided using a water pistol and a tape recorder as official Starfleet equipment.

          I had Remco utility belts, but, during childhood, I only remember the super hero utility belts. I know that I had the Spider-Man belt and beleive I had the Batman belt. The Trek belt looks outstanding, as I'd expect.

              I had the phaser and clearly remember how uncomfortable it was to hold in your hands

              They must have thought kids had Andre The Giant hands

                  I don't know, Chris, that's a close call. Your water pistol and tape recorder sounds pretty awesome actually!

                    ^Hey, it worked! Especially the tape recorder. I later learned Mego pretty much did the same thing.

                      I adore those utility belts. I always wanted the Trek one but never got one--it's beautiful. I had built the Trek model weapons and couldn't convince Mom that the belt was necessary.

                      I did have a Batman one, but I really coveted The Shadow as well (which isn't Remco I think.)
                      WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                        I loved all of those utility belts, but never got one for whatever reason. That's why I'm not kidding when I say that having to improvise your own with whatever you could find is just as memorable and a joy of childhood.

                        But yeah, it would've been nice to unbox the real deal.

                          Remco is really great. I missed out on the utility belt. That's really cool.

                          (had phaser/tricorder/communicator set AMT models laying around, though)

                            Had the Spider-Man utility belt, because the buckle looked close enough to the comics to appease me. The Batman logo belt buckle sent me packing. Batman is no redneck!

                              I had the belt. The phaser clicked when you pulled the trigger, the communicator flipped open like it was supposed to, and the tricorder...I seem to recall being disappointed in. I did survey many alien worlds with them though.
