The Original Series Star Trek Communicator
Bluetooth enabled prop replica collectible
This Communicator has been developed to give its owner the maximum level of enjoyment; designed using extremely accurate 3D scans of one of the last remaining communicator hero props from the 1960s Original Series television show, dedicated attention to detail, the use of authentic materials, textures and finishes and the tireless support and extraordinarily deep knowledge of HeroComm so generously given to us, has resulted in a fully functioning, display grade product that is highly faithful to the original prop.
The Communicator is robust enough to be used in play and cosplay. With its authentic sound effects and original voice clips, the Communicator provides plenty of opportunity for in-universe interaction and fun, and of course its Bluetooth functionality enables it to be used exactly as it was always intended – as a person-to-person communications device.

So for the most part, I don't. Unless I'm showing the "toy" aspect to people: and it *IS* a GREAT TOY!
*ON THE OTHER HAND!!!*
If I surreptitiously dial a taxicab ahead of time on the cell phone this gadget is Bluetoothed to, and sometime later I'm standing in line to pay up at my favorite pub and I casually flip-phone this thing open, push a button or three asking McCoy or Scotty to put me in touch with a cab, and they say "Will do" or whatever, and it calls my cab, there are people within earshot that are COMPLETELY CONVINCED they're either drinking the right bheer or they've had too much.
This is *FULL-UP AS ADVERTISED!!* It's a Bluetooth handset, how much you can do with it depends upon how much you train your Bluetooth. But first day out of the box, it's charged, it talks to my phone, it takes incoming calls and redials last number from the master phone, and the looks on the people around me when they hear that classic "beep-beep" Communicator "incoming call" and they smile because they recognize the sound and mistake it for a cell-phone ring-tone ... it may "accidentally" take me another ring-tone to "find" it, but when I pull it out and flip the antenna grid open with the unmistakable "well, it CHOIPS like a boid!" chirp and then proceed to carry on a conversation (flip the lid closed, it says "Communication terminated" ... AWESOME!) ... well, the looks on the faces of the people with earshot: let's just say they are amazed. It's a great way to meet people!
This is NOT a toy. It's made of clearly high-quality materials, but its almost museum-quality devotion to detail and precision manufacturing make this so much more than a toy. And face it: calling for a cab from a bar with a standard-issue Starfleet Communicator ... "awesome" doesn't even *approach* describing how cool this thing is!!
To address some obvious questions and comments from other reviews:
Sound quality: If you're really concerned about this, you're missing the point. Still, it's fair. Good for voice, less good for music (they do point out it's not optimized for this. Some folks complain about the volume, I found it fine, though just by a bit. So much depends on the audio signal in -- the google voice assistant voice is perfectly audible. Weak or quiet cell signal/audio input may not be something that can be compensated for on this device.
Buttons falling off: The buttons on mine seem firmly attached to their stems, but the stems wobble a bit, the only part I found anything less than rock solid about the communicator. Considering the 4-year square trade warranty on this is only $5 (as of today, at the $99 I picked up mine for), this is one of the rare situations I think the extended warranty is worth the spend. $5 guarantees your money back or a working communicator in your hands for nearly half a decade.
Bluetooth delay. Yup. Bluetooth can be a bit of a dumpster fire in general, and this device is susceptible to the protocol's limitations like any other. Sometimes it seems perfectly synced, other times it seems to be about a half second behind. Lag is not uncommon, but so much is out of any peripheral's hands, with phone hardware and software, current phone processor load, signal interference, etc. all impacting the signal performance. Maybe the manufacturers could have done more, maybe they couldn't have. But there is lag at times. The more 'extras' I close on my phone (GPS, background processes, etc.), the more reliable it seems.
The next logical evolution would be to introduce a companion app that allows some degree of customization, but it works perfectly well as-is.
Edit: I had a problem with my communicator, but the wand company ABSOLUTELY stood behind their product. Won't get into details because every case is different, but they came through big time, improving on the resolution I suggested. Would give ten stars if I could.

Great manufacturing quality (even after the failure I still think it's wonderful!): the weight, feel, functionality, lights, flip foil top-part, voices. All just great. And functions as a speaker. Sitting on it's magnetic charging stand. Nerdvana with knobs on.
