What about using wide and long, heavy duty staples, from a carpenter style staple gun to attach both the old and new straps? I am not good at sewing anything.

Are you still making and selling these?

Back in the 70s, if you went to a Con, you could find Communicators that looks as good as these, but did nothing. You could not buy one for less than $500.00. AMT Exploration Kit was under $5.00 and came with a Phaser Type II, a Communicator and a Tricorder. That I bought, but when you put them together, they were a bit undersized.

That’s so cool. My favorite uniform from the entire franchise

I have a Playmates, Diamond Select, and that IPI one. Even though it has a metal antenna, I think the IPI one is the most disappointing. Don't have a Wand communicator, but have the phaser. It's a very nice prop.

I once had a pair of ST Communicator walkie-talkies.

Where did you get these? Awesome quality!

couldn't be bothered to rotate the phone, huh?

I like the 'DIAMOND SELECT' the best !

Bit off topic from your video but I just subscribed looking for some advice. I've been researching tos boots. Nightmare. Wonder if you could do a video comparing all the boots you have on your mannequins or that you actually wear. I can't find anything reasonable and I wouldn't mind spending but some stories from other buyers have been bad even for the $500 price range. What is your preference for beginners, and then the correct pair? Thanks.

Is this where the Palm PDA was inspired?

Price?

The first one is the best

I have the star trek communicator app on my phone. It's great

I wish someone could have gotten their hands on a TOS Communicator made by "New Eye Studios" it was a 2-way radio (basically walkie-talkie) that looked like a communicator

I really hope the future is several years away. I'm not looking forward to replace my iPhone with one of these.

Those are so cool. Sad I missed out on these.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection with us Grant. You should be very proud. I wish you could have talked more and given us a critique of the items you were showing, hearing which of the communicators was your favourite and why - would have made my day. I’m guessing the one with the velcro behind it gets shown-off the most! Live long and prosper ⭐️

No safety? You're going to hurt someone.

The first flip phones

I agree that the wand communicator is the best but it would be even better if it had the diamond select chirping when lid was opened.

Do you live in your parent’s basement still?

The Motorola engineer who invented the first working cell phone said he got the idea as a kid from Star Trek TOS

You did not have a Master Replica for comparison?

Mine is an IPI, and it works perfectly.

"Khan!" 😡👿👿

Interesting.

personally 1st one ticks all the boxes

So get a Bluetooth headset for, hands free use and convenience, buy one of these to hold in your hand?

*Khan! (Khan!)*

Excellent never knew you could by makes of these, but it’s inevitable to make the StarTrek TOS communicators!!

Nice collection.... Kirk Out😅

Not to be nitpicking (ok, maybe I am) but arent those two buttons supposed to be like POTs. As in potentiometers? I can clearly remember Kirk turning them.

Gathering of communicators, is that like gathering of the Juggalos?

Ive got the wand company model, and love it. Also got mine signed by Anson Mount.

I have the Wand one which is excellent. I’d be interested in selling it if anyone wants one.

Wand looks and sounds best.

The funniest thing is our phones are more capable than the communicator, and tricorder combined. Given the speed, and funding of the development of the computer industry it has the potential to be a starship itself by mind transmission.

Love it

Our future cell phones.

I just have the Playmates one, along with the Phaser, Cage Phaser, and Tricorder

🤓 nerd

people do know they arent real right? i mean i love star trek but who would buy toys as a grown man.

I have one it's my cell phone, black!

Nice. So is this the most screen accurate out there?

Cool stuff. Thanks for vid! Forgot what all was in there. Neat piece of history.

That first one is the winner

Upload your original videos please!

I have a hefty resin communicator from the first newsprint catalog of the early 70s.

Question: why would you have 3 of the same phaser?
