Display MoreEver wanted to have your very own copy of Blair's MiniDisc from the Wing Commander movie? Then we've got great news: one of our favorite Discord regulars, Juniper, has discovered the specific make and model of MiniDisc used to create the prop! It's a Maxell MD-74RM... and they're still readily available for only a couple dollars today!
Here are some reference shots of the prop in the film.
You see the sides and the reverse only very briefly.
The prop was created using a stock the MD-74RM and then adding stickers with additional Wing Commander graphics. The center graphic is adapted from the 'movie logo'. It's difficult to read in the film but the text on the red portion reads CONFED MARINES MMDCLIV. Here's the source graphic if you'd like to make your own:
The other sticker uses the same sort of military 'code' that appears on a lot of Wing Commander movie props including the dogtags and Maniac's orders pouch. The designation at the bottom reads "02987<<<00086CD". Here are some other examples of this sort of indicator:
A second 27th century MiniDisc has also appeared in Wing Commander's continuity. The front matter of The Confederation Handbook features a MiniDisc case labeled to indicate that it includes the contents of the book you're currently reading! This one also clearly belongs to Blair, stored with his dogtags and beloved illegible copy of The Odyssey.
