Description

"Walking Tribble" from Star Trek: The Original Series Season 2, Episode 15: "The Trouble with Tribbles" (Paramount TV, 1966-1969). Vintage original rare Walking Tribble designed by Wah Chang. This is one of only 6-walking models created for writer David Gerrold's Episode: "The Trouble with Tribbles" frequently described as the most popular episode of the Original Series. It is constructed of faux reddish-brown fur mounted over an altered battery-powered animated dog toy, and measuring 8.5 x 5 in. This animated hero tribble retains its vibrant screen used visual appeal. This is certainly one of the most endearing and precious artifacts from the Original Series and one of few walking Tribbles that we have handled. Electronic apparatus present but untested. A rare hero prop in vintage fine condition. Accompanied by a LOA from writer David Gerrold. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.
