Art Asylum just re-released their popular Star Trek Original Series phaser II. They can be purchased at several online shops. They have also released a special Black and White, first season color scheme phaser sold exclusively by NewForce Comics.

And, for you BattleStar Galactica Fans-

As reported in ToyFare #100, Art Asylum will be offering products based on Battlestar Galactica. Though the agreement covers both classic and new versions of the series, the line will kick off with Minimate 2-packs based on original series characters, including Adama, Apollo, Starbuck, Cylon Warrior, and others.
Products from the new series will include busts (Baltar and Six are slated to be the first two) and full-body statues (Adama, Six, and Cylon Centurion are planned but not finalized).
But that's not all. AA will also be offering a line of replica ships, starting with the new Galactica. AA's Robert Yee boasts "You'll be able to mount it in different modes of operation, for instance with the landing bays tucked in as the ship prepares for hyper-jump." Start saving now; Yee estimates the price range for this "very, very highly detailed" line will run between $175 and $195.
