Not completely unexpected, but my Etsy store is temporarily down as it passed a sales threshold that triggered their AI scanners. I have provided all the necessary information and expect to be back online tomorrow. Meanwhile, I have shipped 11 orders already and have 3 more going out in the next couple of days. Then I am off to DragonCon in Atlanta!

Enjoyed making the electronics for this prop!

I'm thrilled to announce two new products are now available on my Etsy store! First up, a *Mini* Gummy Bear Handlink shirt pin for those who want to display their Quantum Leap fandom in public. This mini pin is 2 inches tall and includes a strong 2-part magnet so you can clip it onto your shirt.

The Display Stand is tailormade to hold our Gummy Bear Handlink replica (available from Replica Props ). It includes a slot specifically for connecting a USB charging cable, and also has a little shelf to put a cigar which Al would have approved of.

Replica Props demoing the finished electronics hardware for the Voyagers Omni!

Progress continues on the Voyagers Omni replica! As you know, finished electronics were submitted some months ago. Now it's down to getting all the brass hardware and full color globes nailed down. Several methods were tried including UV printing but the full color resin printing really knocked it out of the park for us. The list of problems left to solve is now very short.

It was my honor to gift a Gummy Bear Handlink to Scott Bakula at the Q&A after the wonderful The Baker's Wife play in NYC. He enjoyed triggering it to make different sounds. I've provided detailed notes on how to get it to play all the sounds stored inside. I thought it was only fitting that Scott has his very own handlink!

Just before DragonCon. I had this crazy idea. What if we made a 2 inch wearable pin version of the Gummy Bear Handlink that can be clipped to your shirt? I was thinking about all the Quantum Leap fans who want to wear their fandom without breaking the bank. This doesn't have sound, but it has USB-C charging and I've already got a thinner battery in mind.

What do you think? And would y'all prefer a magnet clip or a safety pin style?

Here's our first time showing the assembly of the in-progress electronics and final enclosure/shell for the Calculator Handlink!

We are still tweaking everything of course. The circuit board is nudged off center due to the chonky battery I had on hand and the Function LED should be alternating red/green every second instead of randomly blinking. But overall I'm satisfied with the progress.

I'm really happy with how the back looks through the tinted acrylic and the gold designs. For the lights (front and back), I've captured all ~12 different blink patterns from the show.

I got to take the prototype Calculator Handlink out for its first public appearance at this year's DragonCon event in Atlanta. There are some things we want to change before the final, but overall it was a success! Also got to meet an RPF member who has been following our projects as well as Bill Doran of Punished Props!
