Star Trek Tricorder Pre-Orders Open at IGN Store

Star Trek remains one of the most influential science fiction franchises ever created. First launching in 1966, the legend of the USS Enterprise endures, and no device is more emblematic than the original Tricorder. This essential tool debuted in 1996, used for environmental scans, data recording, and analysis. Even though it inspired countless gadgets, an authentic version of the original Tricorder has never been made available to the public—until now.

The Wand Company, celebrated for its high‑quality prop replicas, has finally completed a nine‑year journey to recreate the original Star Trek Tricorder. For fans of the legendary series, this extraordinary item will elevate any collection to new heights.

The Story Behind The Original Series Tricorder

This product’s release has been a true passion project for The Wand Company, whose team first conceived the idea in 2016. Development officially started in 2019 after Greg Jein permitted scanning his screen‑used hero prop, enabling the team to capture the most accurate model possible. This was the last known hero prop; without it, a replica would have lacked precise reference.

The Wand Company shared progress updates in 2020, and in 2021 began posting regular blog entries every few weeks detailing the replica’s development. These posts offered insights into the modeling process, the technology powering the prop, and reveals about the replica’s capabilities. Despite some production delays and development hurdles, The Wand Company achieved what many considered impossible.

This exceptional replica is available for pre‑order now at IGN Store, with shipping anticipated in August 2025.
