Klingon : Original Accessories and Known Repros
Loose Klingon

shirt

Klingon and Gorn wear the same clothes. The shirt has been factory reproduced by EMCE Toys on their reproduction Klingon figure. The new shirt is a little lighter, more orangy brown color, and has a more modern slicker feeling material. The vinyl portion of the repro is a little on the redder side, although the original vinyl can vary somewhat in color. The studs on the repro are darker, and closer together, and the collar is a little shorter and less turleneck like. The big telltale is the inside. An original is red, the repro is grey/blue. The repro is unmarked.



pants

Klingon and Gorn wear the same clothes. The pants have been factory reproduced by EMCE Toys on their reproduction Klingon figure. The new pants are a little lighter, more orangy brown color, and have a more modern slicker feeling material. The crotch on the repro's is sewn lower than the originals, making them hang low just a bit. The repro is unmarked.


Weapons Belt

weaponsbelt

Klingon uses the same weapons belt as the regular Trek crew. The Trek weapons belt has been reproduced by Doc Mego and Emce Toys. Both repro's are identical and very difficult to spot. The reproductions have a very slightly more rounded look around the holsters, but even that is hard to see. Neither reproduction is marked.


Phaser

phaser

The villian weapon set consists of the same phaser the crew carries, but in red instead of blue. They are cast in the same color red as the communicator. The phaser has been factory reproduced by Emce Toys. The repro is a brighter red, the lines on the smaller phaser attachment are a little wider on the repro, and the post near the back/top of the phaser sticks up a little higher. The main body of the repro is a little wider, and the handle is just a touch more narrow, which makes the repro not stay in the holster on the belt. The Emce is marked with the number 7 printed on one side of the handle. What can be confusing about this mark is the repro phaser has a 7 on the handle and the original does not, but the repro tricorder is unmarked while the original has a 7 printed on the backside. Bascially what that means is the 7 mark does not mean repro on all Trek items.


Communicator

communicator

Some villians carry a red communicator as well as the phaser. They are cast in the same color red as the phaser. The communicator has been factory reproduced by Emce Toys. The repro is a brighter red, and it is an overall cleaner cast than the original. One of the telltales of the repro is a thin bit of flashing that outlines the unit. The repro is unmarked.



boots

Klingon has the same boots (as well as suit) as another Trek villian, the Gorn. The boots are also to be found on the Black Beard figure from the Pirates line. The boots have been reproduced by Classic TV Toys and by Emce Toys. The CTVT reproductions are a tighter fit, and less glossy. They have a slight texture to them, where the originals are very smooth. They are marked CTV on the side. The Emce Toys version has a very glossy, patent leather look. These are a little more narrow from the side, and rounded than the orginals around the knee area. The Emce version is unmarked.



heads

Klingon's head has been factory reproduced by Emce Toys. Overall the repro is a little bigger than the original, but otherwise a very accurate reproduction. It's a good thing it's marked with a 2007 CBS copyright on the back of the neck.
