STAR TREK III: SEARCH FOR SPOCK “GENESIS PLANET MICROORGANISM LOT”

A pair of prop items featured in the third Star Trek feature film “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, these creatures are opaque orange with additional paint for detail. Latex antennae have been added to each. The largest creature measures approx. 11 x 6 x 1 ¼ inches.
