One of the great things about owning a Hero costume is the chance that it IS what you think you are getting. In this case, the pockets of the jacket still had Hollywood "snow" in the pockets, and the boots still had mud from the "Genesis Planet" on the bottoms. How cool is that? This stuff is what I love about the hobby!
a non-commercial collector of Star Trek costumes. I have been collecting since Christie's held the now-historic 40th anniversay auction, and I'm afraid to say, there is no end in sight. I collect on many different levels: love of the character, passion for the design of the costume, and an amazement at the materials and workmanship involved in the creation of such magnificent pieces of "art". I find that I am constantly drawn to the costumes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine since that series holds the most interest for me, but my collection represents most of the various series and films.
Greetings! I've always liked this costume, and over the years I've toyed with the idea of re-creating it (although it would make more sense for me to costume myself as Sybok; these days, I look more like him than I do David Marcus). Do you still have this outfit? Can you identify the materials it's made of? It's wonderful that these costumes can be preserved and enjoyed by fans like you who appreciate them. Thanks!
