The Mego Star Trek The Motion Picture Zaranite Action Figure on a custom card is a vintage collectible toy from the Star Trek franchise. This action figure, featuring the character Zaranite from the film Star Trek: The Motion Picture, is made of plastic and captures the essence of the classic TV series Star Trek: The Original Series. The custom card adds a unique touch to this sought-after piece, making it a must-have for any Star Trek fan collector. This listing is for the Zaranite on a reproduction card. The Spock figure is for comparison to a genuine card as there is a colour difference. Spock isn’t part of this listing so isn’t included. The figure is in fair condition and the card has been produced new using photo Matt paper mounted onto thick board. The bubble is new but is over sized compared to the original. Any questions please ask.

DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON THE THUMBWHEEL, ROTATE-THUMBWHEEL-FORWARD/BACK-ONLY, THE MOST COMMON DAMAGE TO THIS HERO PROP RESULTS FROM PUSHING-DOWN TOO-HARD ON THE THUMBWHEEL. Some Star Trek Prop History For Inquiring Minds. Most of these Prop Makers and Technicians have passed-on. Below are old-timer accounts of convention conversations before conventions were a fad. (all these are therefore 2nd hand stories). Was a very well known Star Trek TOS prop collector and authority. (born October 31, 1945 in Los Angeles, USA; died May 22, 2022 in Los Angeles). He had personal friendships with all the listed Star Trek TOS production prop craftsmen. Bob Stone, James Rugg, Richard Heimer, John Dwyer, and Mr. Greg was an acquaintance of mine (Jon-Paul L), and generously took the time to meet me in California on several occasions, beginning in 2018 right through 2021. He shall be missed. Was a filming model designer who, starting in the 1970s’, created miniatures for use in the special effects portions of many films and television series. Jein was nominated for an. Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. (1977) and, nominated for an Outstanding Special Visual Effects Emmy for “Angels in America” (1979). In the 1970s’ Greg worked onTV productions such as “Wonder Woman”, and “The UFO Incident”. Jein then went on to work on Spielberg’s film “1941”, where he and his team constructed a number of models including a twelve-foot model of the Ferris wheel that’s dislodged from its mount and rolls down the pier and into the water. For their work on “1941” Jein, William A. Flowers were again nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Then in the 1980’s Greg Jein was invited to work on. “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”. Building planetary models for Spock’s spacewalk scene and the interior of the V’Ger craft. Jein continued his association with Star Trek Films, building alien weapons for. “Star Trek V The Final Frontier”. Starfleet helmets for the assassination scene in. “Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country”. “Star Trek The Next Generation”. Jein and a team at Industrial Light & Magic (ALM) built the original six-foot model of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), the Ferengi Marauder starship and, the Klingon Vor’cha. BACK TO STAR TREK TOS 1966 THRU 1969. Was Star Trek’s machinist and made all the metal prop parts for all three seasons of the show. Parts were made to order for each episode as in those times (the 1960’s) as machining was done by hand and there was no advantage to making short runs (and no studio funding either). Each episode had a specific budget. Speaking of budgets, Bob relied on his Star Trek friend. According to Bob there was no magic drum of Phaser Nozzles and every job was a mad-dash to meet the filming deadlines. Because parts were made only to order, parts varied quite a bit. These variations can be seen in all the surviving examples of TOS hand props from Phaser to Communicators and Tricorders. Sometimes it was not that a new design was needed but rather that when one Wings it from a sketch, in a hurry using what is on-hand, you get an unintended-new-version of something (in the 1960’s the TV audience never could see that). Robert Archer and Bob Stone worked closely together so when the show was canceled suddenly in season three, Robert Archer ended up with a nice collection of hand props. Made the molds for hand props. He also did all the casting and forming. This included; Vacuum form bucks, Fiberglass molds and urethane molds. Again, according to him most work is done in the normal Hollywood maddening rush. He shared with his convention friends that there were many molds made from molds when the production schedule demanded this. He also shared that when the show ended he rescued the molds from being discarded by putting them in his garage. 1919 was the director of special effects for the show. He handled and repaired many of the props on-set. When the show was canceled in season three he rescued many hand props and even some models from the scrap heap. Dick Ruben, Prop & Art Assistant on the show, got his Set-Used Klingon disruptor from James. Ruggs held on to his rather large Star Trek collection for many years. It is widely known that Greg Jein got his Holy-Grail Hero Phaser from James. In closing a nod to. A prop technician, who reported that he repaired some hand props hundreds of times as they were often damaged during filming. He had also shared that the fiberglass Mid-Grade’s, and some other props often used basswood strips between the seams to establish uniform dimensions. Star Trek TOS bloopers to see what he was talking about when it comes to repairs and hand props flying apart.

Custom Original Star Trek Oil Painting NCC-2546 Starship Stardate 1994 18×24 This is a custom oil painting that was made for an uncle named Robert as shown on the back of the painting. It was signed by the artist with the date of completion. The pictures show the rim a little red but that’s from the glare of my red shirt. It’s an all silver rim with a brushed finish.

Offered is a custom-fabricated Heartbeat Monitor (or Heartbeat Reader) as used by Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, in Star Trek:The Original Series See: screen capture, Img. To start, I procured a clean, vintage Shure Bros’ PE585 microphone-the exact same type as utilized for the original prop in the 1960s. While these are most often found today with either dented windscreens (from having been dropped or otherwise mishandled during its useful life) and/or evidence of corrosion on the main body, I carefully selected an exemplar that was relatively free from these common defects. Finally, I commission a custom-machined base, which replicates the original’s 3-piece assembly consisting of a flat spacer, a “winged” collar, and a threaded cap. As a starting point, measurements were gathered from the actual screen-used prop and compared with the graphic and given specs as shown in the Star Fleet Technical Manual Joseph, F. 2; from these, the proportions and dimensions of this item’s base were ever-so-slightly tweaked to obtain the proper visual appearance and functionality (the “winged” collar rotates as on the original prop in order to “adjust” the monitor). The machined aluminum base was then given a “brushed” finish so as to match the original prop as closely as possible. All combined, this makes for a highly detailed and accurate replica of this rarely-offered prop from the iconic television series.
