Was at my nephews this afternoon and was thumbing through one of his old sci fi collectible books.
In the book was a Mego Star Trek toy I don't remember seeing before - and I can't find in our galleries.
It's based on the classic series and is some sort of phaser game ---
The most interesting thing about it is the box has kinda creepy artwork of Mr Spock learing at a child playing the game.
Anybody ever see this toy before ?
The book I seen it in was really old - like mid 90's or even earlier

1976 Mego Star Trek Phaser Battle game.
That might be it, but since it doesn't show the creepy box i'm not sure

I had that as a kid, before I even watched Star Trek! I had an 8" Mego Spock too, and for some reason just WOULDN'T watch Trek, even though my dad tried to get me too.
A friend of my dad's found the Trek phaser game outside of a dumpster or something (!) and picked it up. Having no kids, he gave it to us. Dad changed the batteries, and it worked fine. It was fun in our pre-Atari days. I think it eventually stopped working, and we trashed it. THEN I started watching Star Trek around age 6!

Whoa that does look a bit creepy.
Hall Shull did the box artwork, notice the kid's face isn't complete in the catalog image. They took it away from him before it was done.
