If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy your morning coffee, tea, or raktajino, the folks over at Numskull just unveiled a quartet of Next Generation drinkware selections to bring your beverage into the 24th century.
Expanding their line of CosCups drinkware — or “cosplay cups” — into the Star Trek: The Next Generation world, you can now enjoy your hot or cold beverages right from the heads of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Lieutenant Worf, Counselor Troi, or Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge.
Each 14-ounce ceramic mug measures over six inches tall, and is painted to resemble one of the four Next Gen characters, with a protective, heat-resistant silicone grip molded and colored to match the characters’ on-screen costumes.
The crew at Numskull sent us over a set of these TNG CosCups and they’re satisfyingly weighty in the hand, with nice paint jobs, glazing, and fine detail in the silicone “uniforms” — especially Worf’s chainmail baldric.
We’ll leave judgment on the stylized faces to you, readers — though we must say the choice to portray Troi in her mid-series Spandex one-piece (with, um, cleavage?) rather than the latter-season Starfleet blue uniform is a bit disappointing, especially after the company nailed her blue-suit look in their TNG rubber duck toys earlier this year.
Aside from that design choice, they’re kind of fun, cartoony Trek pieces that might add a laugh to your morning caffeine intake, or look cute on a bookshelf.
(We’re thinking about turning Worf into a small planter — there would be no greater honor!)
The Star Trek: TNG CosCups available for purchase from Numskull starting today, where you can pickup the mugs for $21.99 / £17.99 each or pairs for $35 / £30.
