DST Star Trek 3: TSFS phaser?

Hopefully they will work in the working lights on top for the P1 as it had four sequencing LEDs at the top as well as a group of LEDs in the trapezoidal shaped "trigger" on the top. With the TWOK phaser having all the lights working, I have confidence DST will give the ST3 phaser the same treatment. They appear to be raising the bar with every Tek release. Hopefully that will continue to remain true. DST has come closer to true prop replicas than any other toy company ever has. If they continue on this route, they will rival MR or other mass production prop houses and offer better prices at that.
As for movie trics and comms, I'd rather see the ST5/6 communicator and tricorder before any others. I think those are the most interesting visually and electronically. They are more reminiscent of their TOS counterparts than anything from TMP or TWOK and the electronics are cooler than the ST3/4 versions they were based on. Although I'd love to see a TMP tricorder as well after that.

As for the assault phaser, I'm certain we'll see it eventually. Especially since TUC's 20th anniversary is 2011.

To be fair to DST, they actually haven't done that many Trek Tek releases. The TOS communicator is the only DST original release so far and even that was a retooling of the STTE (which was a copy of the MR). The upcoming tricorder and TWOK phaser will be the first releases that were commissioned completely by DST from the very beginning and will be the first true DST originals.

Are you sure the tricorder and TWOK phaser aren't retooling from another company as well?

The Communicator looks and feels like the "real thing", and even the placement of the screws in the bottom matched the screw holes seen on screen.
The Phaser, with the exception of some holes for screws on one side, looks almost identical to the screen used item to me.
I was never a Toy collector or anything, but I do have Starfleet Uniforms for Comic-Con etc., and a Fan Film I have brewing, but I have become a fan of these.
To my mind, they are almost prop replicas, and if the Tricorder and TWOK Phaser match the quality of the Communicator and TOS Phasers, then I will be very happy.
As for the Star Trek III phaser, if this rumor is true, then it'll be great to see it done well.
Personally, I'd like to see a Communicator and/or Tricorder to go along with the TWOK phaser, but if they do a Star Trek III Phaser and Communicator, then that would be fantastic.
The Trek II communicator looks somewhat blocky.

I'm hoping, since these two upcoming products are the first original Trek Tek releases from DST, they will actually be better than the previous Tek releases.

This is my favorite phaser, and no one has ever made one.
