Screen-Authentic ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Props Coming From QMx

Screen-Authentic 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Props Coming From QMx

Quantum Mechanix (QMx), the creative studio and developer of specialty movie collectibles have just announced a new line of screen-authentic Star Trek Into Darkness props.

According to a recent press release, the props were produced by QMx in collaboration with the Star Trek filmmakers and were created exactly the same way the on-screen props were made.

QMx’s professional props and model design and fabrication division, QMx FX Cinema Arts, supplied several of the props seen on-screen during the film, including the Starfleet phasers, the Starfleet class rings, Starfleet uniform badges and the History of Starflight model collection seen in Admiral Marcus’ office.

It was an honor to help create some beautiful props for Star Trek Into Darkness,” said QMx CEO Andy Gore. “With the demands of modern filmmaking, a prop must look amazing even in close-up on an IMAX screen, which coincidentally is the same level of quality that discerning fans demand of their favorite collectibles. In that respect, QMx was well prepared for this challenge.

“What really excited the team was the opportunity to create these props, make them look fantastic, and also engineer them so they could be manufactured in quantity with the same level quality,” Gore continued. “That’s why we refer to our line of Star Trek Into Darkness collectibles as ‘screen-authentic,’ because fans will be getting exactly what they see in the theater.”

Check out some of the new items, available soon through QMx, below.

“Trek Yourself” With A Custom 3D Printed Figure From Cubify

"Star Trek Yourself" With A Custom 3D Printed Figure From Cubify

3D printing company, Cubify has announced a new Star Trek 3DMe figure creation service. Using a web app, Cubify allows users create a full-color, personalized 3D figure of themselves wearing a TOS uniform.

Priced at $70, Cubify allows customers to choose the uniform, rank, height, weight and one of four different poses for their 5.5″ 3D printed figure.

The folks at Cubify provided TrekNews.net with a custom figure for review.

For my figure, I chose the male body with a phaser in-hand and the rank of Commander in a science uniform, medium height and weight, and uploaded two headshots. One facing the camera along with a side profile.

The entire selection and upload process took less than 5-minutes. They ask that you use well lit photos taken with a digital camera (not a mobile phone) and a neutral expression (no teeth). Also, no glasses!

Following the upload, you’ll be asked to provide payment and shipping information. The turnaround for my figure was less than a week. It came in a box stuffed with bubble wrap for the item’s protection.

The likeness, in my opinion, is almost dead on. The artists over at Cubify even accented my figure face with the five o’clock shadow scruff I had in my photos.

While the $70 price tag may seem a little steep for a single figure, one of these would be a very unique and memorable gift for yourself or the special Trekkie in your life.

Check out a few photos of my custom figure and a time-lapes video of the creation process below.

WATCH: Behind-The-Scenes Look at the New Star Trek Video Game

As previously reported by TrekNews.net, STAR TREK The Video Game will be available April 26, 2013, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

The co-op game allows players to experience gameplay as Kirk or Spock as they battle enemies, including the Gorn.

“At the heart of every Star Trek adventure are two unforgettable heroes: Kirk and Spock – and just as their cooperation drives the story of Star Trek on screen, it needed to form the core of the video-game experience,” said Brian Miller, executive producer of STAR TREK The Video Game.

“Kirk is this brash cowboy character, whereas Spock is the exact opposite – and when you break down Star Trek to those elements, you had to make a co-op game,” Miller added. “There was no other game we could possibly make.”

In a new video by Paramount Pictures, Miller talks about the creation of the game. Check out the video below.
