Hey Trekkies, you're gonna want this 'Star Trek' Bluetooth communicator
Star Trek fans know well how much Trekkie merch is out there — considering the franchise was launched in 1966, trying to collect 30+ years of themed stuff is quite the task. And with the recent premiere of Star Trek: Discovery, there's bound to be a supernova explosion of new items.
However, there is one piece of merchandise that hovers above the rest — possibly because it literally looks like it fell straight out of the show's set. The Star Trek Bluetooth communicator is the thing that fans never knew they needed.
The Bluetooth communicator seriously looks like an exact replica of the one from the original series. The attention to detail can be attributed to the fact that it was designed using a literal 3D scan of one of the last remaining communicator props. To boost the authenticity even more, it features 20 voice clips and conversation fragments from the show. Who else can say they can have a conversation with Spock when they're bored?
Though this one can't contact starships or surpass rules of physics, it does have the features that 21st century folk covet. As a fully functioning Bluetooth handset, this gadget works with any Bluetooth enabled phone and allows seamless phone calls. It also works as a wireless speaker — the communicator in the show didn't even do that.
If you're not a devoted fan but know someone who is, this is the ultimate holiday gift. Cue the happy tears and get the communicator for $149.95 here.
