TrekStar: Star Trek Taurean Ape

Great likeness and execution. Is the head sculpt still available? I’d like to see this guy hanging out with the salt vampire.

Yes, the seller on ebay still has a few left unpainted, they have a lot of different custom sculpts not just Star Trek.

Just found it thank you. Are you aware some say this is the face of the Patterson Gimlin Sasquatch? Apparently Roger Patterson knew or had some connection to Janos Prohaska who sculpted the likeness for the show.

I do remember hearing the connection between this episode and the Bigfoot film a long time ago, I still believe the Patterson footage was staged there’s to much coincidence involved, but we’re all entitled to our opinion’s and it makes for fun discussion.

Looks great!

Agreed. The leg to hip transition never looked right to me, as if they are separate costume pieces. But I am like Fox Mulder, I want to believe.

I already posted this hairy scary guy before, but I just recently got the window box for it and wanted to post again. I really think these boxes make the customs look better.

Very cool!
