Grand Nagus Cane - Unpainted

This is one of those objects that you are delighted to find when you didn't expect it anymore but not giving you fully what you did want.

Always thought that a Grand Nagus Cane would do a great display but of course that was thinking of a painted one.

Now finding one even unpainted is not common enough to be ignored so had to buy this and see.

Of course I'm torn between displaying it as is and having it painted to match what we saw on screen.

In the meantime some pics of it:

From some comments I got on the Star Trek forums, it seems most likely this to be a replicas made from molds created by Icons.

If so then it's not a prop production made but still a beautiful item to hold and it makes it easier for me to decide to paint it for display. Most likely to happen now that I have that info.

Well the cane is now painted.

Next step is to create a base to display it.

Risa Door Bell - SOLD

This would be my first and most likely my last Enterprise show prop.

As anyway Risa was a destination or a theme used a few times in DS9, it still relates enough to DS9 for me.

Now the Horga'hn statuette design is quite famous if you did look at any TNG or DS9 episodes involving Risa, while I remember clearly Picard with this item I'm not so sure for DS9 but will have to watch once more to confirm. Well watching an Episode involving Risa is always a pleasure in a way.

As a result I was very keen to get a door bell in the general shape of an Horga'hn, didn't see many of those out there.

Will most probably frame it nicely for display. Pics to be posted once done... this is now done.

Brunt phaser - Mirror Universe - SOLD

Since I bought the Brunt Mirror Universe costume I always have this feel to fill the holster pertaining to this costume.

It's really hard to have a clear view of the weapon style used by Brunt as a hand phaser because he never uses it.

Now from a few screenshot the phaser looked green, really not easy to pinpoint but it's on the right of the plate Brunt is holding in the SS below.    I said to look on the right!!! Not to do like Quark.

Also the handle looks curved and the only curved green phaser I know of is this one.

As this weapon style is also known as a Ferengi hand phaser it was a good bet.

Next step was to match it to the holster and it's also a perfect match as you can see below.

That wasn't hard to figure out at the hand but always nice when it can be done and now my display is almost complete. Just need to find a knife to add to the knife sheath.

Tuvok - Mirror Universe Outfit - SOLD

As at this point I truly try to keep a focus in collecting new props from Star Trek and this with the DS9 - Mirror Universe.

There are only 5 episodes in DS9 that's relates to the Mirror Universe but it already gives a lot of possibilities to collect. Between costumes that are specific to that universe but also Starfleet uniform or other costumes for those from the normal universe visiting their mirror counterparts. Then there are weapons as well as other padd and tricorders.

At least it gives me a reason to be happy to let other props pass without trying to buy those. Just need to think it doesn't fit my focus.

Tuvok is an interesting case as he does appear in DS9 Mirror Universe episode "Through the Looking Glass".

He is the only character from Voyager appearing in DS9 Mirror Universe besides "the Doctor" from Voyager which in fact was Doctor Lewis Zimmerman the creator of the EMH.

Thanks to Alec Peters I know own the Tuvok mirror costume and very happy to own this oddity of being a crossover between Voyager and DS9

Cardassian Rifle

Since I somehow moved slowly to focus on "DS9 - Mirror Universe" I also tried to collect weapons that had only also a presence in the Mirror Universe.

Luckily it's the case for one of the most beautiful rifle, being the Cardassian one, and one was used on screen by a favorite of mine: Garak.

This one was sold by Screenused during their first auction last July and has seen better days but it's still a great looking piece as you can see and it makes a great display:
