Description
This diverse assembly of vintage Star Trek collectibles features six boxed items from various manufacturers including AMT, Knickerbocker, Dinky, and Playmates. The collection includes a 1979 Knickerbocker Captain Kirk soft poseable figure constructed with a molded vinyl head and stuffed fabric body. Representing die-cast manufacturing is a 1977 Dinky Klingon Battle Cruiser. The selection of model kits includes a 1974 AMT U.S.S. Enterprise Exploration Set (Stock No. S908) designed for the assembly of a non-functional phaser, tricorder, and communicator, as well as a 1991 AMT/ERTL Special Edition 3-Piece U.S.S. Enterprise Chrome Set (Model No. 6005) produced for the franchise’s 25th anniversary. Also included are two 1995 Playmates roleplay toys from the Deep Space Nine series: a Bajoran Tricorder (Stock No. 6273) and a Bajoran Phaser (Stock No. 6271), both featuring electronic light and sound components.
Condition: The items exhibit varying states of preservation. The 1991 AMT/ERTL Chrome Set is factory-sealed in its original plastic wrap. The two Playmates items are in original packaging showing moderate shelf wear and original retail clearance stickers. The 1974 AMT Exploration Set is partially assembled with significant crushing and tearing to the original box. The 1979 Knickerbocker Kirk and 1977 Dinky Klingon cruiser are both housed in heavily distressed original boxes with major structural damage, tearing, and missing cardboard sections. Completeness of opened kits and the working order of electronic components have not been tested.
