Summary
A flesh coloured plastic Mr Spock doll from the Star Trek series (circa 1974). It has moulded facial features and black plastic hair on the head and is jointed at the shoulder, elbow, wrist, waist, hip and knee joints. The lower part of the legs form black plastic boots moulded onto the doll. The doll is clothed in a turquoise polyester long-sleeved top with a black turtle neck collar and gold plastic edging stitched around the cuffs. It has a grey V shaped sticker on the breast. It fastens by one metal popper fastener at the back of the neck. The top is rather dirty and has a small ink stain on the back. Around the waist is a thin black utility belt that has a slot fastening. It has a pale blue 'phaser' that can slide out of its compartment on the belt. He also wears a pair of black polyester calf-length trousers with elasticated waist.
