Star Trek<\/i> licensees EXO-6 and Factory Entertainment keep celebrating the franchise\u2019s 60th anniversary with more new collectibles to honor the Original Series!<\/p>\n

First up is a pair of special 1:6-scale character figures from producer EXO-6, starting with Captain Kirk from \u201cThe Tholian Web,\u201d<\/strong><\/a> complete with his iconic silver environmental suit from that third-season episode.<\/p>\n

Retailing for $225 and available for preorder through July 27<\/strong><\/a>, this 12\u2033 figure includes a removable helmet, and a posable body to recreate Kirk\u2019s harrowing trip through the interphasic rift aboard the\u00a0USS Defiant<\/em>. This figure is expected to ship in the last quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

General Trelane (retired!) is EXO-6\u2019s second special Original Series figure for July, brining actor William Campbell\u2019s mischievous godlike entity to the 12\u2033 size \u2013 complete with ruffled shirt, intricately-designed jacket, and of course his dueling sword as seen in \u201cThe Squire of Gothos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trelane is available for preorder now through August 11<\/strong><\/a> for a price of $230, and is expected to ship in late 2026.<\/p>\n

Factory Entertainment is continuing their 60th anniversary Trek<\/em> offerings \u2014 in addition to their other new products<\/strong><\/a> we told you about earlier this month<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 with a return to the start of the franchise: a famous prop seen in \u201cThe Cage\u201d and \u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The company has created two replicas of the early-days laser pistol sidearm<\/strong><\/a>, a precursor to the now-famous phaser, which debuted in the original\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> pilot episode (\u201cThe Cage\u201d). The weapon prop was then modified for use in the Original Series\u2019 second pilot (\u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before\u201d).<\/p>\n

Factory Entertainment\u2019s first pilot edition<\/strong><\/a> is based on the prop seen in \u201cThe Cage,\u201d and is available for preorder now at a cost of $849.99. The second pilot edition<\/strong><\/a> is based upon the \u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before\u201d version, with the same cost and expected late-2026 delivery timeframe.<\/p>\n

THE ORIGINAL PROP (\u201cThe Cage\u201d VERSION)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hero and stunt versions of the prop were built [for \u201cThe Cage\u201d]. The stunt props were cast in rubber, while the hero versions featured metal components, moving parts, and a distinctive extending barrel.<\/p>\n

When a second pilot, \u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before,\u201d was commissioned, the surviving laser pistol props were modified for reuse. As a result, no original, unmodified \u201cCage\u201d laser pistols are known to exist today.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

THE REPLICA (\u201cThe Cage\u201d VERSION)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Factory Entertainment was fortunate to gain access to an original \u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before\u201d laser pistol for detailed study. Combined with extensive archival research, this allowed the team to digitally recreate the original \u201cCage\u201d version by reversing the later modifications.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The result is a highly accurate replica of the original laser pistol seen in \u201cThe Cage.\u201d While remaining faithful to the original prop, subtle refinements have been made to correct minor asymmetries inherent in the hand-built 1960s original, creating a precision-engineered replica that looks perfect from every angle.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

THE ORIGINAL PROP (\u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before\u201d VERSION)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To save both time and money, several props from \u201cThe Cage\u201d were reused and modified for \u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before,\u201d including the distinctive laser sidearms. The props underwent several visual changes involving the addition of \u2018found\u2019 parts.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To give the prop a more futuristic appearance, two gear-like metal cogs were added to the rear, typewriter keys were incorporated into the body, and the grip details were altered and repainted. Most noticeably, the red \u201claser\u201d effect seen in \u201cThe Cage\u201d was replaced with a blue energy effect.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every surviving \u201cCage\u201d laser pistol was modified for the second pilot, meaning no original, unaltered examples are known to survive today. Some versions also featured a simple wire clip intended to attach the weapon to an actor\u2019s costume, though the idea proved impractical and was quickly abandoned. The modified pistols would continue to appear beyond the second pilot, including in the first-season episodes \u201cThe Man Trap\u201d and \u201cWhat Little Girls Are Made Of.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

THE REPLICA (\u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before\u201d VERSION)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Factory Entertainment was fortunate to gain access to a surviving original \u201cWhere No Man Has Gone Before\u201d laser pistol prop for detailed study and measurement. Using this rare artifact as a reference, the team created a highly accurate digital model and precision-engineered replica of this important piece of \u201cStar Trek\u201d history.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like many television props of the era, the original was built quickly and featured numerous hand-crafted details and minor asymmetries. Factory Entertainment has subtly refined these imperfections while preserving the appearance and character of the original prop, creating a replica that holds up to modern close-up inspection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Each version of the laser pistol replica is constructed of \u201caluminum, brass, polycarbonate, and injection-molded plastic\u201d and features \u201ca rotating emitter, extending barrel, flip-up sight, functional power\/mode ring, LED light effects, digital sound effects, and USB rechargeable power supply.\u201d<\/p>\n
