Star Trek’s return to big-time merchandising continues with the announcement today of a number of new licensees and expanded licenses for Star Trek related merchandise. The CBS Products announcement includes... fragrances, jewelry, gift items and more.

GenkiWear, LLC is developing a trio of fragrances celebrating classic Star Trek. "Tiberius," "Pon Farr" and "Red Shirt" fragrances will be available in stores in the spring.

Is anyone else frightened?

...Actually, I'm less frightened by the thought of 'Pon Farr' than I am amused by the thought of 'Red Shirt'...

Anyone else care to ponder how long after they become available before someone wearing "Red Shirt" dies?

Transformers...

cufflinks.

Yes, that's right, now you can transform that boring tuxedo with Autobot and Decepticon emblem cufflinks - should be a real hit at formal affairs....
