Anything and everything would be an improvement on that communicator from TWOK. Looks like it came straight from ww2, though I read it was actually a Vietnam item that got plated with silver.
When I saw that thing opening night, it utterly undid the joy of seeing somebody flipping open a communicator again after all those years, because I just couldn't stop gawking at that ugly bulky PoS.
Kinda made me think later that the company that supplied it should have been called Obsolete Props instead of Modern Props.
