The Story Behind The Original Series Tricorder

Bringing this product to life has been a true passion project for The Wand Company. The team first envisioned the replica in 2016, with official development starting in 2019 after Greg Jein granted them permission to 3D scan his screen-used hero prop. This scan was crucial, as it was the last known hero prop, providing the exact reference needed for an accurate model.

The company shared development updates starting in 2020, followed by a series of detailed blog posts in 2021 that chronicled the replica's progress. These posts covered the modeling process, the technology involved, and reveals about the final product's features. Despite various production challenges and delays, The Wand Company has achieved what many considered impossible.

This extraordinary replica is available for pre-order now at the IGN Store, with shipments expected to begin in August 2025.
