Lot 1602: Complete Gorn Costume From The Star Trek Episode “Arena”
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Episode 19 first aired January 19th, 1967. Entitled “Arena” it featured a hulking reptilian humanoid of the Gorn species. They say the Gorn has always been the “coolest” of the Star Trek aliens. One memorable reason was the deep growling, hissing voice of the Gorn. In this memorable episode, Captain Kirk and the lizard-like Gorn creature are transported to an uninhabited asteroid. They’re going to fight to the death! The seven foot tall Gorn is much stronger than any human and has a very aggressive nature. The Kirk advantage: speed and agility which he puts to good use by keeping out of the Gorns’s way long enough to mix up some minerals into gunpowder. He wounds--but refuses to kill the Gorn..and Kirk, and the Gorn and their ships are eventually set free. The original Gorn costume from this Star Trek episode has been saved and hereby presented to...you! Featuring the gold embroidered tunic with zipper side closure, matching sash, plus a pair of mauve leather gauntlets. The fact is, you can look throughout the galaxy and not find a more dramatic character than the original Gorn. And to think, you have the rare opportunity to get in on this reptilian piece of humanoid agility! May the force of the Gorn be with you forever! Perfect provenance, call for details.
