Star Trek III action figures
Pre-production models of action figures, often used in early promotion
of toy lines, can be both fascinating and funny. Take this great
shot of ERTL’s proposed Star Trek III offering…if
you’re a fan, you’ll recall actor Christopher Lloyd’s
sardonic portrayal of Kirk’s Klingon nemesis, and perhaps
also remember his nasty, vicious reptilian pet. So, you may ask,
what’s with Lassie? When the prototype ain’t ready
for the camera, just grab the nearest thing…in this case,
the PVC collie from their then current ‘Wrangler’ figure
line. [ERTL Company retailer catalogue, 1984.
