original movie prop

In the Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Kirk's (William Shatner) son, David Marcus (Merritt Butrick) researches the "Genesis" planet which was created in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Incredibly unstable, any life forms in contact with the planet are subject to the effects of rapid aging and evolution. This includes the microbes present on the surface of Spock's (Leonard Nimoy) casket when it was ejected from the U.S.S. Enterprise following his funeral in the previous film. The microbes began evolving into these orange creatures that later became gigantic. Made of cast latex, this creature is opaque orange with additional paint for detail. Latex antennae have also been attached. Measures 9" x 19" with antennae extended...the largest one i have ever seen.
