"I'm tired of the hunt. Wait for me. I'll be merciful and swift."
Born in the desert landscape of Star Trek: The Original Series' "The Arena," the Gorn cemented its place as one of science fiction's most iconic villains, locking claws with Captain Kirk in a battle of wits and raw survival. Revitalized as a galactic menace in Strange New Worlds, this reptilian terror haunts both the screen and the imagination: a primal force of cunning and brutality. This collectible masterpiece bridges eras, blending nostalgia with modern engineering to honor the creature's enduring threat.
Authenticity meets articulation: Designed to mirror the raw physicality of the original performance, this 12.25-inch Gorn boasts 30 points of articulation constructed similarly to the original costume. The figure's poseability is limited, just as the actor's movement was limited in the episode. Pose him mid-snarl, twist to attack, or locked in combat with Kirk, capturing the tense, deliberate physicality that defined his on-screen presence.
Every detail resonates with the story:
- Gorn Universal Translator: The Gorn could only be understood through the translator he wore on his belt.
- Rock Dagger & Tree Branch Club: Arm your Gorn with the primitive weapons that nearly sealed the captain's fate.
- Kirk's Cannon: Shows the captain's improvised bamboo weapon, a symbol of human ingenuity against primal fury.
The figure's non-removable rubber suit faithfully reproduces the textured scales, serrated claws, and silver eyes of the original costume. It pays tribute to the Gorn's legacy, from their duel in the original series to their reign of terror in Strange New Worlds.
The battle for survival begins again.
