All Hands, This is the Captain…
Diamond Select Toys is excited to announce by far the largest collectible this side of the Neutral Zone, the classic Star Trek Captain’s Chair replica! That’s right, Captain Kirk’s instantly recognized command chair from the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise can finally be yours!
This iconic sci-fi release measures an astonishing 3 1/2 feet wide by 3 1/4 feet deep and stands just under 3 1/2 feet tall. The chair itself is constructed of high-quality fiberglass and features plastic, metal and wooden accents to recreate the legendary original prop. Highlights include a newly-engineered base to allow full 360° rotation, a leather seat cover, working indicators and switches as well as your favorite sound effects from the classic Star Trek series!
Detailed schematics of the Captain’s Chair supplied by Paramount were used to iron out the various chair designs and create the ultimate Star Trek lifestyle accessory. The right-hand console includes settings for Yellow and Red Alert, Pod Jettison, Micro Tape and the ship’s Intercom while the left-hand panel features Hailing Frequencies, Viewscreen Activation and Shuttle Operation controls – each with sound effects or light-up details.
This impressive piece can be ordered through any comic book store and will ship in two pieces. Due to varying shipping costs and the size of this item, we strongly encourage interested customers to request a shipping estimate from their retailer of choice prior to purchasing this item.

I don’t see a price anywhere, which leads me to think it’s a case of “If you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it.”

Ditto to Shaun’s comment! $$$$$$$$

I’ll find out at Toy Fair in a few weeks what the price is and report back.

Cute, Jeff… But they should mark it down to just $1701. That would be deep discount, but I still wouldn’t have enough latinum for that.

Does it come with the girl?
January 27th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Actually, according to Previews there are only 1,701 of them being made. It’s funny to see this release today, as it’s the retailer deadline for putting initial orders for product (including this chair) is today. If you want it, act fast!

I’m with Harvey… I’ll opt for the Orion slave girl instead.

Oh wait, Harvey meant the lovely lady in the picture. Yeah, I’ll take her over a green woman. I’m not racist or anything, but… Well, if you ever saw Eddie Murphy’s “Delirious” concert you know what I’m talking about.

I like woodworking, I’ll build one myself. Scoot me the plans.

Not me. Give me a green freak with mind-twisting pheromones over some blond, white-bread, standing-next-to-and-pointing-at-products model any day. Sure the experience might leave me a shell of my former self, but I’d be willing to risk it.
