Trek Spring Collection Preview: First Look At RoomMates Murals and Wall Stickers March 3, 2009
by John Tenuto , Filed under: Merchandise, TOS , trackback
Today we pick back up with our Spring Collection Preview of Trek Collectibles, with some big news, and by big we mean literally huge. After 42 years, it isn’t very often that a product appears that is completely unique to Star Trek. Luckily, CBS Paramount has partnering with some interesting companies this year, one of which is RoomMates which has a line of amazing Star Trek wall decor items. TrekMovie has all the exclusive details.
RoomMates brings Trek decorations for all kinds of fans (and rooms)
RoomMates is the largest manufacturer of decorative peel-and-stick products in the world (a division of the venerable York Wall Coverings company) and their first wave of Star Trek products, based on the classic Original Series, represents a diversity of products meant for all kinds of fans and types of room.
XL Wall Murals
Have you ever wanted to turn your hobby or entertainment room into the bridge of the USS Enterprise? Now is your chance! RoomMates is making available a choice of XL (very XL!) wall murals. Their first wall mural turns your room into the bridge of the USS Enterprise. The mural comes in two sizes: The full wall sized (9 feet by 15 feet) retailing for $249, and for rooms that have a ‘chair rail’ there is a 6 foot by 10 foot version (selling for $149).

Wall Stickers
If you don’t want to redo a whole room, RoomMates also has a "Peel and Stick Wall Set" of stickers. This set includes 4 10"x18" sheets containing 31 design elements from the original Star Trek, including characters, the Enterprise, emblems, tricorders, and popular quotes (such as "Live Long and Prosper"). These are perfect for painted walls, but can also be applied to furniture, automobiles, lockers, glass tiles, and computers because they remove without residue or paper backing sticking. They can be used again and again as needed. The set of four sheets retails for $12.99.

Giant sized stickers
RoomMates are also releasing ‘giant’ 5 foot stickers of TOS era Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. These will be more stylized (and akin to TAS) than the wall mural and wall stickers. Each will include a couple of smaller stickers. The sets will retail for $21.99 each. For this set, the designs have not been finalized, but RoomMates provided us with their latest working version.

The A-Peal of RoomMates
Star Trek fans are, as we all know, a diverse crowd. What is nice about a line like RoomMates is that it appeals to various kinds of fans, and have so many different uses from decoration to craftwork. RoomMates is offering products for fans of the various versions of Trek, and offer products that can be used to decorate entertainment rooms, hobby rooms, garages, offices, or even electronics like computers. RoomMates has licensees for big franchises such as Marvel, DC Comics, Transformers, and Disney, so it is also nice to see Star Trek joining good company.

This first wave of RoomMates items should be available by the end of March. They are not available yet for pre-order, but you will be able to buy them at online at roommatespeelandstick.com and EntertainmentEarth and other retailers within a few weeks.
RoomMates is also working on more murals and sticker sets. They are planning on doing at least a mural for the new Star Trek movie, which should be available in May. They also have a mural in the works featuring an image from Star Trek The Next Generation.
RoomMates is also considering additional TOS, Star Trek 2009 and Next Generation sets as well as items for other Trek series. They are looking for feedback on the above items as well as what else fans would be interested in seeing, so feel free to let them know what kind of Star Trek decor stickers you would like to see in the comments section below.

Wonderful! I want that bridge scene!
What, no Scotty !!
I used to work in a company that made that kind of stuff… They also did decorative mirrors, machinery that I did use to get some one of a kind mirrors!
Who want paint? I want my bridge!
Love that Bridge!! Hard enough convincing the wife to let me buy the Allposters room-size view of The Who in concert….
Got some convincing to do…
I vote for a Scotty figure also!
well if they have only four panels, would you want them to get rid of the big enterprise over scotty? Adding an extra sheet may not be possible and would certainly increase the price.
Is it just me or is the Enterprise upside down in the second-to-last picture? The red ship outline? It just doesn’t look right….
Would love to see some murals from Deep Space 9: the promenade, bridge of the Defiant, etc. Or a rockin’ space battle scene: the Klingon attack on DS9 in “Way of the Warrior” or the huge fleet battle from “Sacrifice of Angels”.
When I get rich (ha)….and build my home studio….I would like to have the mural on one of the walls. Cool.
Hey, this looks great… but 250 bucks for a wallpaper? I think I’ll pass.
Pretty cool!
7, yeah…it looks like an upside-down Enterprise to me!
….a geek’s wet dream. Now, the trick is to get a non-Trek wife/girlfriend to even CONSIDER allowing that into a room in the house…
it is upside down, it is a sticker, you can put them anyway you want
I love the full bridge layout wall mural!
My only complaint:
Looks kinda dated without any bar-code scanners…
Yeah- I’m going to need the mural. Wouldn’t it be cool to out the DST life size chair in front? My wife’s gonna kill me.
I want!!!
Is it wrong to want a life-sized Uhura wall sticker? :P
I am loving that wall mural! I’d want the other half of the bridge as well to completely surround myself. lol
Hmmmm, that would be $500 in wall treatments then of course I’d need to shell out the 3 grand for the Captain’s chair, another 2 grand for the giant plasma screen….oh well, to dream….
@ #7-
That kind of thinking killed Kahn.
19 – LMAO
I’m so getting one of those murals. My wife will probably disown me.
I’m reaaaally diggin’ that wall mural. I have a hobby room that is in dire need of a make over…and make over it shall have…TOS style!

Well, I’m sure my dad, I mean Scotty would sit this one out so they can feature the big E.
Shut up! Where was this stuff when I was a kid!?! I feel cheated by the 80’s.
Cheers to ya Lad!
What!
No Mugato!!??
What is the scale of the figures compared to the mural?
If they are scaled right, you could put the figures ONTO the wall mural!
#23, there is some neat stuff on your ebay page. I have to look it over in more detail.
Chris! You may not remember me, but you asked your father to sign a picture for me at your family Christmas dinner years ago. Bruce A is our friend in common.
Anyway, there’s a small picture of Scotty in the lower right-hand corner of the second set of stickers. I think they intended to make it seem he was crawling up a Jeffries tube. Take a closer look.

That wall mural is soooo cool. Maybe one day…..lol
Those are AWESOME. That bridge mural…terrific idea, wonder what took somebody so long to think of that! Looks real. Throw in some sound effects from your PC and you’re in business :)
at the chance of getting this comment pulled…Holy shit these are cool!
The TOS bridge wall mural is fantastic :-)
100% guarantied to make sure you NEVER get a girl.
Id get those if they had some for TNG or later, but Im just not enough of a TOS fan to spend money on them. Still cool though.
I’d love to see a reverse shot of the bridge, so that I could actually see the view screen- and leave the screen blank, or only with a star field, so that I can buy additional sticker sets from you and stage my own battles, add planets, or put in a giant floating Abe Lincoln.
Cool wall mural, although I have no more wall space so it might have to go on the….ceiling. ;)
That mural is AWESOME.
Of course, my wife saw it and instantly said “not gonna happen”.
I think I’ll have to engage in some bribery…
These decorations could also serve as a highly effective form of birth control.
That takes care of the decorating for my private bomb shelter-like hidden nerd lare. Now, for the rest of the house…
TNG Bridge scene would look great.
You can turn out your lights and still read by JJ’s bridge mural.
made my day…awesome!
28. Thanks. 10% paypal refund for all trekmovie.com fans.
29. Yes… I didn’t see that at first glance. Very cool
39. Funny stuff.
Take a long hard look at that bridge mural my fellow Trekkers. Now THAT is a bridge!
That TOS bridge would be perfect in my office. Impatient to buy…
The only thing about such LARGE Murals, is the very sticky backing and having to be very careful and precise when lining it up to the wall and not being off in your measurements! You can very easily and quickly have a 249.00 wrinkled and messy looking mural, it you do not do it exactly right.
It’s not like wallpaper you can move/manipulate if you’re off a bit, or squeege outs bubbles and wrinkes.
Don’t try hanging this alone, or you WILL be swearing and or crying in a very short amount of time! And god forbid in a few years you want to remove it!
well said #45…well said.
34 – Well, MY girl might actually have to convince ME to get this. ;)
Did they ever announce who won the ST Scene It contest?
That looks like a high-rez image of the bridge of the USS Defiant from Enterprise’s “In a Mirror, Darkly” (http://tinyurl.com/defiantbridge). You can tell by the blue lights along the ceiling and the bulkheads — wonder if they remembered to photoshop the ship’s name on the dedication plaque, which may be legible at that size!
btw, tomorrows ’spring preview’ will be for Genki Fragrances. Followers of our twitter can see a preview image

Um…I think I now have to revisit the whole redecorating concept I had for my attic room….I should also get some lifesize cutout figures of Spock, Kirk, et al and then I could play house, no?
Just wanted to respond to the concerns addressed by #47 Michael. The murals are pre-pasted(so you need to dip in water) and come in panels and are numbered for ease of installation. While the murals are not repositonable they are printed on a substrate called SureStrip that allows the panels to come off in full strips when you are ready to revove down the road.
I just want to know when the new Star Trek trailer is going to be online. I thought it was supposed to be yesterday or today?
34
You are SO right. That’s about the only thing holding me back right now. That and I don’t have 250 extra bucks sitting around…
I have to say… The pic of Spock on the wall sticker set really isn’t very flattering. IMO, a nice tricorder scanning pic would be better.
I will have that bridge mural… as GOD AS MY WITNESS… I will never be without that mural again!
VOYAGER VOYAGER VOYAGER!!!
Voyager wall thingies. Yes.
26: Yeah, Mugato, it’s a damn shame that you’re not featured. I’m sure Chris’ dad would’ve sat this run out for YOU, too!
Or hey, they could just ditch the Big E in favor of both you AND Scotty! I mean, we all know what the ship looks like, right?
;^)
We’ll talk when they do a wall-size Quark’s.
Now THAT would rule.
Oh god! Oh god! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh god, YES!!!
@39
Ok, like, you are so totally wrong about the mural. And the Spock sticker.
And the Kirk.
Could they have picked a worse image of Spock for the Wall Sticker Four Sheets? So many classic poses and they choose one that makes him look like Quasimodo. My mother would have jammed her knuckles into his spine and yelled “stand up straight…get your shoulders back!” (Love ya, ma.)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous!!! Absolutely MUST HAVE!!!!
Now if I can just get a ‘66 Batcave mural as well…
that enterprise bridge is so awesome it hurts.
Love the mural. That would be great to display Star Trek stuff im front of. How about a TMP, Khan, Search for Spock version too?
They don’t really do anything for me. Kinda super-nerdy in my opinion. (I’m not trying to insult anyone!)
I mean, there very pieces, I can see what people see in them, but, not for me, I’m afraid.
Gawd, why didn’t they have this stuff years ago? I GOTTA’ HAVE THAT WALL MURAL!!!!!
To CHRIS DOOHAN: It is a pleasure to see you taking part in the conversations here, thanks so much, it means a lot.
#24 Tiffany,” Where was this stuff when I was a kid!?! I feel cheated by the 80’s.”
Heck, I grew up in the ’70s, when all I had (because Mom wouldn’t buy me the Mego stuff) was two pieces of cardboard taped together for a communicator and a coat hook for a phaser. But hey, at least I’ve got a teeny bit more disposable income to spend on today’s stuff! : )
One just has to compromise, you ask the wife to have one (and only one!) room in the house to decorate how you want it , no questions asked. You tell her that she gets every other room to do as she pleases. What ever colors, drapes, carpets, pictures, lights, furniture she has ever desired can fill the rest of the house, no questions asked and you will give her 100% support…as long as you get to have the bridge mural in your one room. Even if it is in the garage, I would do it.
It would really make a nice photo backdrop for TOS fans in uniforms.
That is so friggin cool! The TOS Bridge Mural is Awesome!!
On this topic just a quick question for everyone. Am I the only one who has printed off all the pictures, posters etc for the new Movie ans stuck them on their wall?
OOOOOoooo! RoomMates wall mural! I want one too! I’ll have a giant Spock sticker as well.
how many people tried to walk onto the turbo lift?
Ok. I want that. But I want that of the Terran Empire. just need the bridge with the Terran Empire Logo. Now that would be sweet.
Fascinating.
I want that mural too! Does it have a section that show the viewscreen too? Then I could mount my plasma over that and just geek out!! Something to think about if they don’t.
I would like to see these posters:
looking down the nose of a Klingon Battle Cruiser
a Romulan Bird of Prey just when it fires
the Constellation
Vina, as the dancing Orion slave girl
the view of the Enterprise from the closing of Trouble with Tribbles
Mirror universe clad Uhura…hubba hubba
the Salt creature
Klingon landing party
Enterprsie landing party
Kirk slugging someone, Spock, Khan…whoever
inside of the shuttlecraft. I can use that for my basement bathroom.
a giant poster of the Enterprise in orbit of a planet
Posters of TMP Enterprise, ST II battle scenes, especially in the nebula, and on and on.
So many great things to choose from, too bad they can’t just let us pick something and have the poster made when ordered instead of just making a lot of one thing and then selling them.
If you look at the computer monitor reflection you can see they actually had sports wallpaper up and they ‘Shopped it.
ANDREW – by ‘chair rail’, you mean it’s a 6′ high section x 10′ long?
That bridge is beautiful! I want one!
I sooo want the Spock ones! :D The TOS mural is nice but I’d rather have TNG.
31 – I’m a girl and I NEED that bridge.
Someone to share it with wouldn’t be bad, either ;)
Honey, I’ll be on the bridge slipping into something more comfortable… Make it so!
I so would love to turn my living room into the Bridge of the Enterprise!
The Bridge looks fantastic, and the price is pretty much inline for this.
My suggestion for other murals… THE GUARDIAN OF FOREVER.
Love the mural…really cool. The more I see the classic bridge…the more I love it.
Wow. My mom will officially think I’m nuts if I mention THIS to her. xD
Very cool… but for how many of us is this just a pipedream? ;-)
You DEFINATELY need to do a giant sticker from TOS of The Orion Slave Girl portrayed by Susan Oliver. To not do that one would be a wasted opportunity. Another good idea would be one of Deanna Troi in her miniskirt uniform from the pilot episode of The Next Generation “Encounter At Farpoint.”
When I was a kid I wanted to live on the E, working with Kirk and his gang (part of me still wants to ;)…c’mon guys, ya know what I mean – Seems that amazing bridge mural is the perfect interior décor. :)
#6
Actually yeah!
Scotty, please (the real one, not Simon Pegg). And not ‘animated series’ like the Spock sticker set.
Facinating!!!! Oh and……..1st
I want a sticker for a door, so that a door looks like one on the Enterprise. :D
Scotty!
From TOS season 2. Please!
No one mentions the peppermint nacelle caps on the E sticker? For shame! ;-)
But seriously, awesome, awesome stuff.
My boss would send me for a psych eval but I want an Enterprise E or Defiant bridge for my office.
The Big Bang Theory is a CBS show. I can see an Enterprise mural easily being on one of their sets.
The first set of the bridge is great, but the others are a little pointless because they don’t look as good and sort of just hover there.
What about some of the other Star Treks? I’d love to see more wall stickers of Voyager or The Next Generation.
Holy cow! I have to have that bridge mural. Maybe one to use and one to keep mint. Well, maybe that would be taking it too far. O.K., one for sure. That and the Captain’s Chair for mucho dinero. :)
This too shall be mine.
I notice a lot of comments on these type of threads saying things along the lines of, “never get a girlfriend with this stuff.” or, “another form of birth control.”
I feel so lucky that not only am I an avowed geek and collector of my Trek dealies, but I am married to a beautiful woman who shares my passion. Not only that, she encourages it. When I showed her this wall stuff she said “Cool! Now we can redo the rec-room just like the Bridge!”
Lucky me.
original cast movie bridge please! (Enterprise-E bridge would be cool too)
correction to my earlier post – should be 34, not 31. I imagine that would make a little more sense now.
WOW I love that lol me need one!! Ok if you look closely at the four wall stickers the one with the enterprise and the red little enterprise you will see scotty now it needs to be like kirk and spock but he is there!
Frak Yeah!
I want one of these, but only if I get to be 14 again
Wow, that’s just what I need for the wall behind my command chair, except that the command chair is in the picture. Hmmm, could still work with the right placement.
#51 I would completely agree with you that this is the photo from the Bridge set from Enterprise’s “In a Mirror Darkly”
The one thing that I’m curious about is that there appears to be a piece of lighting or electrical equipment in the picture. Under the helm on where Sulu would normally sit on the floor, there is something square leaning up against the helm with what appears to be 2 wires hanging out of it.
Easily seen by enlarging the picture.
Charles, you are absolutely right, good eye! I hope that is a prototype picture and they airbrush that out for production. Otherwise some real poor quality control.

Yes! I’ll make my room look like the bridge, and then stick the TOS chair in the middle, hang a plasma screen on the wall, and watch TOS in HD with my PHASER remote!

OK, now I’m the biggest dork in the world. Any chance of getting a Voyager bridge? Or even just the mess hall with the starry windows?
You guys are wasting your money on this WALLPAPER.
I always say, “cheap things aren’t good and good things aren’t cheap!”
If you want to do it right, hire a professional muralist.
Go all the way and create the room as a “wrap around mural.”
Meaning, create the whole room as the bridge itself.
You are restricted to just one wall with this WALLPAPER, and it must be the exact size as well. Good luck with the size thing!
No restrictions when a muralist paints it for you.
Also, a muralist can paint it any way you want it to be. Characters, battles, etc…
With this WALLPAPER you are stuck with this image!
Not a very good rendition I might add!
Bottom line, do it right, hire a professional muralist to create something that is truly memorable and Wow Worthy!
