Not really sure why you'd want it to blend though... I'd assume that they snaged it to silver due to Nicholas Meyer's hatred of the pastels of the first movie. That's all guesswork by me though.<br /><br />And I TOTALLY agree with your take on TMP! I really love that movie. You can see Gene in that one more than any other film, just like you can see him more in "The Cage" than any other episode. TMP is the kind of "cerebral" Trek that he first offered way back then. Oh, and I don't think any film has ever touched the beauty of those effect sequences.James Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073683145342465022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363296730472291977.post-3840855782796125202010-01-05T03:48:24.372-05:002010-01-05T03:48:24.372-05:00James, another fun look at a great new collectible...James, another fun look at a great new collectible. I WANT ONE! I've always loved the TMP/TWOK phasers. Have you ever read or heard WHY they made such subtle changes between the two films? <br /><br />BTW, TMP doesn't get as much love as the other films and unjustly so IMHO.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657932542572968305noreply@blogger.com
