I'm not surprised that there are lots of product spin-offs from "Star Trek," I expected new dolls, phasers and enterprise toys. But I didn't see these products coming:
"Star Trek" Klingon Language Suite application for Apple's iPhone, which combines The Klingon Dictionary, Conversational Klingon and the new Klingon Phrasebook so you can study the language and, apparently, check your phrasing to help avoid any embarrassing moments (like there could be anything more embarrassing than learning a fake language?). The cost: $11.99 for the whole suite; or if you buy each piece separately, the phrasebook is 99 cents, Conversational Klingon is $3.99 and the dictionary is $9.99.
Then there's these shoes from CBS Consumer Products, created by designer jeffstaple. The "Star Trek" inspired high-top, "Terrain Enterprise Edition," is a limited-edition Airwalk sneaker with the iconic Enterprise badge and ship number. Only 160 pairs have been made; each pair will be numbered. You can get them at jeffstaple's retail shop in New York City or ordering through 212-253-0588. Cost: $80 per adult pair/$60 per kids pair.
I can't wait to see what other wacky movie products come out this summer.
