As the fall release date for the J.J. Abrams
Star Trek DVD closes in,
Star Trek merchandising is making a comeback.
Everything
Trek made a huge bull rush earlier this summer when
the first major run of merchandising took hold. Everything from bottle openers to iPod got the final frontier treatment. Now the DVD is shaking the space trees again.
The long-rumored
Star Trek colognes beamed their way into stores last week -- immediately becoming a product that folks might want to try as curiosity without ever admitting they bought it.

The merchandise opportunities for classic shows like
Star Trek has been outlandish, to say the very least.
You can show your financial love for
Star Trek by buying
Star Trek toys,
Star Trek apparel,
Star Trek cell phones,
Star Trek Pez dispensers,
Star Trek burial coffins,
Star Trek living room furniture
and even
Star Trek erotic theme art. Don't click that last link if you're at work, school or don't really want to know what James Doohan would look like spread eagle on a Tribble skin rug.
Now the folks at
Genki Wear, a geek themed jewelry manufacturer, have helped the Enterprise explore a strange new world of merchandising and seek out new lifeline accounts and financial liquidations with a line of
Star Trek-inspired cologne and perfumes.

The full cast will be announced at Comic Con, which kicks off later this month, so until then we can only speculate on what Nimoy's role will be, if indeed all this Web scuttlebutt is true.

According to ComingSoon.net, Brent Spiner, who played Data on
Star Trek: The Next Generation and associated theatrical movies, has ruled out a return to the role in the new
Trek movie,
which will be directed by J.J. Abrams. It's not that he doesn't think the movie, tentatively titled
Star Trek XI, is going to be any good. He just thinks he's too old for the role.
"There certain characters that I think work in a youthful way and I think I really skated along the edge in the last couple movies as it was," he tells Simon Thompson of
BANG Showbiz. Of course, he also jokes that he'll play the android again if the money is right. I think that's the same joke Leonard Nimoy made before
Star Treks III through
VI, and we all know how
that turned out.
