This review is from: Star Trek Original Series Phaser Pistol by Art Asylum (Toy)
Great toy. Brings me back to when I was a kid and watched the original Star Trek. The sounds are pretty real. Since the documentation is aweful, here's what you need to know. It took me about an hour to figure this all out. The clear plastic tab that you pull out is only for demo mode while inside the box. The number dial on the small phaser has 5 settings (off, and power levels 1-4). I like 4 the most. As you increase the level, the sound frequency gets higher, and the frequency at which the light flashes at the point gets faster. I have no idea what the other dial on the small phaser is for. When you rotate it, a clear plastic little window pops out of the top. I have no idea what that is for. I'm not the most knowledgeable Treki so please forgive my ignorance on this. The dial on the back of the large phaser has 2 settings, normal operation (off and power levels 1-4), and another mode that I think simulates the ability of the phaser to be used as a bomb. When you press the fire button while in this mode, you hear a power build up followed by a simulated explosion. The dial on the front left side is used to turn on and off the light to the point of the phaser where the light comes out of. Also, the large ring on the front near the point can be turned. As you turn it you can increase or decrease the amount of light that makes it to the point (provided that the dial on the front left is set to let the light reach the point). The trigger is easy enough to figure out. And lastly, the yellow pin on the left rear has to be pulled outward (it is under spring tension) to remove the small phaser which lifts out from the rear first. When you remove the small phaser, the trigger is a rubber button on the bottom of the unit. Have fun!!!

The best prop for the best price., February 26, 2004
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Star Trek Original Series Phaser Pistol by Art Asylum (Toy)
Art Asylum has outdone itself with this classic phaser. Unlike past prop toys which were the wrong scale or had bad sound fx, this phaser toy is everything a big boy like myself could ask for. The price ([$$$] on average) is astounding considering the fact so many other "master replicas" or "limited editions" are going for outlandish amounts. My only gripe is the fact these things are flying off the shelves so fast, you often have to get on a waiting list for months just to get new ones. Like so many other reviewers, I too hope Art Asylum soon comes out with a classic communicator and tricorder to compliment the set.

The Best Phaser under $100 EVER!, September 29, 2003
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Star Trek Original Series Phaser Pistol by Art Asylum (Toy)
I love movie props and Star Trek props even more, I had heard a lot about this one and figured it would cost forty or fifty bucks. But for a Phaser 1 & 2 that separate and function for under twenty bucks, IMPOSSIBLE! But yet this is one of the best Trek toys ever. Now mind you it's not a collector's quality item, but they got every detail right! From the Phaer 1 fire button on the bottom to the rotating dial for phaser settings. I LOVE THIS TOY! Not for small kids, but if your a collector that loves Star Trek items, and have wanted to get a great prop that you can handle and not just leave on the shelf, with sounds and lights, you shouldn't pass this one up! If you can't afford a Richard Coyle phaser then this one is for you! Keep up the great work Art Asylum, I can't wait to see their take on the Communicator and Tricorder.
