A Gorn head casting from original molds, accompanied by two photographs from Star Trek: The Original Series. In the Season 1 Episode "Arena," Captain James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) was forced into a brutal hand to hand battle with a Gorn captain on a remote desert planet one of the most memorable and parodied sequences in the franchise. The Gorn remains a fan-favorite alien and one of the earliest non-humanoid antagonists introduced in Star Trek.

This casting includes a hollow latex and polyfoam Gorn head, cast from original molds. The latex has hardened with age, and the lower right section of the head is missing its latex skin, exposing raw polyfoam beneath. The surface exhibits significant discoloration, holes in several of the spikes, and signs of crumbling throughout. Also included is a color photo of the Gorn's head, and black and white photo of what appears to be the production used Gorn costume labeled on the back "Gorn in my office original Polaroid by Bob Justman." Robert H. "Bob" Justman worked closely with Gene Roddenberry as an associate producer ( Seasons 1 and 2 ) and co-producer ( Season 3 ) on the original Star Trek series, and later returned as a supervising and consulting producer for the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation before retiring. Dimensions ( Head ): 14.5" x 10.5" x 17.5" ( 37 cm x 26.75 cm x 44.5 cm ).

Value: $5,000.
