Equipment: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Insignia Badges from QMx
Quantum Mechanix has been around since 2006
and they are known for producing high quality licensed collectibles, mostly from science fiction franchises. QMx produces various types of products such apparel, plush, jewelry and prop replicas just to name a few things. Today we are taking a look at the Starfleet magnetic division pins from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
Designed by costume designer, William Ware Theiss, the delta insignia is probably one of the most recognizable symbols in pop culture/science fiction. Even if a person isn’t a fan of Star Trek, they know that the delta insignia pin is related to Star Trek. Weirdly, of the many people who recognize it, there is a small percentage of people who will reach out, touch your insignia, and request that Scotty beam them up. Sadly, I speak from experience.

Equipment: Hasbro Star Wars Announcement from San Diego Comic Con

Equipment: Disney Exclusive Marvel Select Moon Knight Action Figure
Who is Moon Knight? I am sure that before
the Disney Plus aired the Moon Knight series the average person had never heard of him. Fortunately, I read some of the Moon Knight comics decades ago, so I knew a bit more, but I still wasn’t well versed in the lore of the character. I remembered some basic things, but that was the extent. I remembered that Marc Spector was the Earthly avatar for the Egyptian God, Khonshu (the moon God). I remembered that the other characters, Jake Lockley and Steven Grant were just personas he used when working under cover. I also remembered enjoying the comics, so I was excited when it heard about the Disney Plus show starring Oscar Isaac. Continue reading
