The Borg were recurring antagonists on the show, cybernetic organisms linked to a hive mind - "the Collective" - who sought to forcibly assimilate other species. This bust was produced from the original production moulds for the exhibition Star Trek: Federation Science, which toured around the United States and Europe during the 1990s and early 2000s. The hand-painted foam latex bust has a resin eye and eyepiece, and plastic tubing around the head. The distinctive Borg headpiece is made of foam latex, painted to resemble metal. The bust has some wear from use and age, including scuffing, scratches, and small cracks in the latex, as well as some discolouration and staining. Dimensions: 26 cm x 44 cm x 38 cm (10¼" x 17¼" x 15") Estimate: £1,500 - 2,500 M
