Toy-Ventures: ERTL Star Trek 3

We're back after a short break and going to take a look at a 1980s property for a change. 

This week is all about the rarely talked about ERTL Star Trek 3 line, one of the most obscure toy lines of the 1980s. We delve into the back story of Star Trek movie toys, how these got made and why they didn't really succeed.

ERTL Star Trek 3 Klingon Prototype Found!

I've talked about the ERTL Star Trek 3 figures before and I especially love this press photo of the handmade mockups. While the Kirk, Spock and Scottie are obviously repainted Mego The Motion Picture figures, I always wondered what the Klingon figure was. 

Well, today I got that answer, more after the jump:
