The Wand Company's TOS tricorder has been in the pipeline for a long time.
It got delayed with the 'global pandemic' and then they seemed to have a bit of a re-think about what the product should do.

In any event, it's close to getting released.

It's very rare that you see what I would call 'proper' merchandising for Star Trek, or for anything else, now.
Diamond Select, Master Replicas, NECA, Triforce have all either fallen by the wayside or long-since stopped doing replicas for anything: whether it be Star Trek, Halo, Portal, Gears of War etc.
The economics don't work anymore, unless it happens to be a really iconic item, and 3D printing has come along to fill the gap. 

In the meantime though, X-Fighter Multiplayer is coming along ...
All four ships are now operable via whatever input devices you select in the options menu, which was something that I was originally happy to implement further down the line.
I planned to have it initially so that ship 1 was locked to keyboard and ship 2 was locked to controller 1, with ships 3 and 4 being AI, but that whole approach was going to make it complicated to get other things done with it.

Leelu has decided that the blue ship is 'her' ship, which is adorable.

Next areas of focus are: finishing off the weapons and the instrumentation.
The ships also require shields, as the X-Fighters are a bit too fragile at the moment.
