Nice Construction But Disappointed in the Quality and Features
I purchased this product with all the bells and whistles. First, it did not come painted, not sure if it's varnsihed. There were several stands of the plastic hanging, plus there are a couple of rough edges that I'll need to sand down, in addition to having paint the the phaser..  As in the photo, the top part is black, the bottom a dark grey. A Section 31 Phaser is all black. The LED light when you press the trigger will either be blue or red, as you press the button on top to change the color.  When you pull the trigger, you also need to pull it again in order to turn off the light. There are No sounds!!  What is a phaser without sounds?  Speaking of the trigger, the sides instead of being made with the gold filament, it is printed with the goldish-yellow matte plastic. The middle top part is removable for the smaller phaser. It is seated well, as there is a magnet in the seat. It came with a button battery, so you need to unscrew the back cover and insert it. That was okay, however, instead of a button on top of it it, there are buttons on the end. Again, no sounds. For the amount of money charged for all the features, it should have been smoothed down, painted properly and have included sounds.  That's why for the $$ spent, I'm being generous in giving this three stars. I wold actually give it 2.5 stars. Caveat emptor!
