Baby Star Trek Classic uniform onesies

ThinkGeek's Star Trek onesies are a great change from the boring old Bob the Builder and Disney Princess junk you'll get heaped on you the second your kid emerges. I love that they have a redshirt version (for expendable babies!).

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Is the beautiful model included in the purchase price?

I’d have to get one as a gift. $16 is way too much for any onesie – no matter how cute or how geeky. Unless it was StarWars. Then I would be compelled by the power of the dark side of the force to purchase.

Ernst is right, the badge just does not cut it.
Star Trek onesie should be able to absorb “dark matter”.

Surely you wouldn’t want to give your baby a red shirt!

Bet they don’t sell so many red ones.

Just sticking a badge on a coloured body is not enough. They need to be long sleeved with the black collar detail. And then a “Next Generation” set with the black shoulder pieces.

Best,

I’ve been working on a new screen printing method using a laser cutter and stainless steel mesh. My test bed so far has mostly been dorky onesies, including things like the Pioneer 10 plaque, ArtBots logos, etc:

I agree with Ernst on the detailing. The above photo is pretty cute, though, with the Starfleet-captain-to-be gazing into a hopeful future… Or just gurgling at the plush Tribble the photographer is dangling…

You have to wonder how popular they are as gifts.
