“Be aware that this is not a 1:1 full size replica. It’s close. I would say it’s approximately 2/3 size and noticeably smaller than the real one. Can’t beat it for the price.
PROS- Looks, colors and textures like the original. Moire pattern disk, although stationary, gives the illusion of movement when you view it from different angles. The three LED gems (blue, red, blue) light up when buttons are pressed. Two buttons-two sounds. The button on left sounds the original chirping sound while the button on the right sounds a combination of static and radar-like beacon. The texture of the black plastic is bumpy like the original. And finally the price can’t be beat when compared with other alternatives.
CONS- NOT 1:1 – It’s slightly smaller than the original at about 2/3 the size. All Plastic. The brass colored flip cover does not “flip” – you must physically open it with your other hand or use your finger on the hinge. Does not chirp when opened like the original – The left button does the chirp. It’s also very light because of all plastic construction.“
Given its shortcomings I still rated it 4 stars because it’s a decent replica and you can’t beat the price when compared to others. It comes with a tiny 3“x2.5” booklet with full color photos from TOS and some useful information. Both communicator and booklet come in a full-color 3.5“x3“x1 7/8” box. Erik, USA

"This product is a miniature replica of the hand held Communicator used in the Star Trek TV series. The Communicator looks and feels good. It is very light Weight and care must be taken when opening the Gold coloured flip top (don't apply too much force). The sounds that the communicator emits are good But sometimes you have to press the buttons a few times as they are not that sensitive. It would be good If the central disc had some animated features as well."
"Although small this Communicator is fun to carry around at work and the residents enjoy the light and sounds, some even remember ST:TOS."
"Probably something I shouldn’t have bought but good for a laugh ! ( haven’t heard back from Scotty yet he’s probably out of range !)"
"Really cool. Everyone that sees it picks it up to try it out."
Member"Upon un-boxing, I pulled the battery tab as instructed, and the product didn't work. I took the battery cover off to find the batteries had leaked, and had corroded the terminals. I cleaning all the leaked battery acid off the batteries, and from the battery terminals. I then tested the batteries with a battery tester, they were almost flat, which means it won't work for long unless I replace the batteries. But it's not worth buying new batteries for it, as the batteries would total more than half the price of the item. Put everything back together and managed to get it to work finally."
