Nevermind this post that I've just deleted before any of you read it, Mike's right... I didn't look closely.

I had one picture somewnere, but I can't find it now. But it's still the First Contact phaser, albeit - maybe - with the "Endgame" round buttons:

. . . and, of course, at least one of the variants of the FC rifle makes another reappearance.

Only with a different filename, and on a different server. 8)

Which is probably just as well, given the unreliability of Demon's server. I'm hopefully moving in the next coupla weeks, so I'll finally have more webspace to add some updates. . .

No, you can't tell from a tiny little picture with an action figure.

It definately has changed

Try this image of the Endgame phaser from the Experience shop:
http://www.ds9promenade.com/store/media/Starfleet_25_phaser2.jpg

I didn't believe it at first, but the people at AA have seen the actual props, and they also say it's changed. Also, from the few images of the movie we've seen, you can just make out the changes in the phaser. As well as the added grip on the back of the butt, the head is rounded and curved, instead of the very angular one from the older version.

No it isn't. While the curved shape is very similar, the actual structure is different. It's much more streamlined. Curves versus straight angles.

The TNG phaser and the Voyager phaser is the same thing although it had a more relaxed grip.

I other words, you could duct tape a drink holder on a lawnmower and a 1/250 Nebula Class AWACS pod on one, and it's still a lawnmower.

Just because they made it more streamlined doen't mean it's a complete and totally new phaser.
Remember the refit of the Enterprise in TFF? Or TMP?

It's a new model. It looks different. It's too physically different to be the same props slightly altered.

I'm not talking about the technology, I'm talking about the prop, from a propmakers point of view.

We'll see soon enough I guess.

Yes, it's a new model, because you cant take sand paper and sand curves on a hand phaser and make it look good.

(Sorry if that was a bit harsh.)
