Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! (When I found this old vintage ad, I couldn’t resist! )

Ever since Star Trek premiered in ’66, the merchandisers have been there to get their cut. Here’s a few examples of some of the more ‘fascinating’ examples of Halloween costumes! The details are hilariously bizarre – characters always wear their likenesses on their uniforms! Lots of bad color choices in both the costumes and art (although the cover likenesses are pretty good. I suspect the actors rarely if ever got and percentage of these, don’t know if they’d want it either! Lots of cheap plastic here; most illogical!

Kirk wears pink on his off days; McCoy plays captain, and they both shift their insignias! How about that Yellow Submarine Shuttle?

Lately I’ve been finding a lot of vintage Trek merchandise on line, and since this is the giving time of year, I thought it would be fun to see what was in Trekkie Stockings in years past. There was some Trek merchandise in the 60’s (remember those AMT models?) but Trek merchandise really boomed in the 70’s when it hit syndication and merchandisers had a cash cow on their hands! Some was pretty cool, some was downright awful, but it was all fun! I’ll be posting Trek merchandise from time to time. Enjoy, and see if you remember or received any of this stuff!
Going through my files, I found many a picture of Leonard owned by Getty Images, so here’s a nice selection. Leonard with Susan, Performing in the 1960s, and posing for publicity pics. I never knew him, but I just miss his beautiful humanity.

NEW YORK- MARCH 27: Leonard Nimoy and wife Susan Bay pose at the Opening Night Party for “Urban Cowboy” on Broadway at the Marriot Marquis Ballroom on March 27, 2003 in New York City. (Photo By Bruce Glikas/Getty Images)

The only thing that bugs me about this picture is that it’s always posted backward! (note hair is parted wrong and wedding ring on ‘right’ hand), but hey it’s still Leonard. 🙂
