According to sources cited in the scuttlebutt over at TBBS, the actual prop will have the normal TOS phaser blue colors, with a bit of aged metalic accents. There's a thread over there in the Star Trek XI forum ( scary place, that forum is), that has links to the sources stating this, I believe.

Of course it'd be on TrekMovie. Hmm. Something in me really hates this spinny-nozzle notion. It must be some shout-out to the different barrels of the laser pistol, but let's face it, that was a pretty nonsensical concept to start with.
I think that the 3 3/4 inch figures look a lot better than the image of the 6 inch Kirk that we say earlier. In fact, the 6 inch figures look better in general than that photo. There's also good images of the Enterprise, the props, and playsets.

For some reason, I'm thinking that I've seen a phaser concept with a horizontal spinny bit a long time ago. Like it was something someone came up with as fan art. I just wish I could remember who/what it was.

Nice! Can anyone get a screen shot from the point when Enterprise fires her weapons? They look like TWOK phasers, and seem like the turrets that normally fire to the port and starboard sides are firing forward.
I'm definitely psyched to see this movie, moreso than before.

Reminds me of the Wrath of Khan-phasers, the way they cascade out in volleys. That target must be one of those torpedoes from the Narada.

Much appreciated! The phasers appear to be firing from the top of the saucer too. I don't think we've ever seen a ship use both it's dorsal and ventral weapons at the same time, firing towards the same target.

Hmm, I've read that the new "Imperial Edition" version of Star Wreck, by Universal, has redone all the space action scenes. Watching that trailer, is it my imagination or have they replaced all the beautiful and accurate ship designs in the original (Intrepid, Miranda, Sovereign, B5:s Nova) with total approximations? Because I don't remember the flagship having all those clamped-on box launchers and non-sovvie nacelle pylons.
