Pic of medical tricorder, communicator, and comm ear piece...

Regardless, it fits in there with McCoy's machined metal cylinders just fine, I don't see anything objectionable about it. It's a pretty standard looking TOS-like thingy.
It doesn't look any more like a cell-phone than the original to me. It's somewhat sleeker, but I don't see how that makes it a cell phone.
Bilge? They all look like TOS props. They're modified, but they certainly don't look bad.
The look like Happy Meal toys.
I thought Burger King got the promotional tie in?
So a black box, a piece of machined metal, and a transparent cylinder with coiled wires look like happy meal toys to you? Yeah...the kids will just love those.
What planet/century is your McDonalds from?
No kidding. Now I'm hoping for that Clue remake to happen, so I can go to McDonald's and get some free daggers and revolvers and spend a weekend "solving problems."
"Hey, I got a lead pipe!"
"That's not nearly as cool as the bong I got from the Dazed and Confused meal back in the 90s."
The communicator does kind of look like a toy, or perhaps, like something containing a communicator. It probably looks better opened up.
Most Happy Meal toys look better after you crack them open. That's a rule dating back to when I was a little kid almost an entire generation ago.
No more so than the original communicator.
The original(1964 pilot) communicator looked like it was made from old transistors and LEGOs.
I did qualify my statement by saying I didn't see it opened up yet. I also said I think the casing just looks more like a container than a communicator or a flip phone.
This is probably because it looks like just a rectangular block of plastic; it doesn't look ergonomically designed for a hand. If it was a block of plastic that had some kind of shape to it, like the TOS communicator, or most cell phones then I'd like it more. It's probably not too bad once opened up. I just think the fact that it's just a rectangle in a glass display case also makes it hard to judge scale, so it's hard to judge the thing effectively anyway.
