Star Trek Phaser Universal Remote Control

What I want to know is can this 1:1 screen-accurate replica of the phaser Captain James T. Kirk wielded in the 2660s beam me some free HBO and Pay Per View movies of a certain, uh, adult variety? Nyet? Well, can it at least flip me from Family Guy to Mythbusters at the mere threat of complete disintegration? A threat and a flick of the wrist--affirmative.
This Star Trek Original Phaser is both a highly detailed replica crafted to precise form and scale from a 3D scan of the last remaining Phaser prop in existence and! a fully programmable, gesture-based universal remote control. Use its infrared tech (second only to directed-energy) to stun into submission anything from TVs and DVD players to stereos and iPod docks.
Suitable for the most die hard of Trekkies--and possibly only for them--the Phaser remote comes with the following features:
- Detachable MK I Phaser unit
- Removable side door revealing an illuminated dilithium crystal power cell
- Original series Phaser and Star Trek sound effects
- Lights up and vibrates when turned on and fired [which leads me to believe it may have an in with sexy PPV movies after all.]
The OG Phaser comes in a rugged, foam-lined weapons crate (because only loser remotes live their day-to-day out in the open on the coffee table) and a nickel-plated museum-quality metal stand (because only loser remotes get shoved in the drawer of an end table when company comes over).
The Star Trek Original Phaser Universal Remote Control is a top Dude Gift for a Geek pick.

The Best RC Toys for Adults
The best RC toys for adults span well beyond remote control cars and drones. In the case of the giant RC Bald Eagle, a full 9-1/2-foot wingspan beyond remote control cars and drones. And, honestly, I'm kind of over drones...
