A bit more history on the Spock ears for the first movie. After I made the ears for Nimoy the first set of molds were used for a long time. The molds were quite used from continuous baking which caused Rick Stratton to make the masters in order to make duplicate molds. Additionally Rick and Mike LaValley both replicated my ears and made new molds from scratch. Still faithfully made to duplicate the originals.  

 

About  mid production Charlie Schrame was brought in by Fred Philips for lab, work which included his special foam rubber formula that was the best rubber at the time. Dick Smith used it a lot as it was more flexible and softer than the previous foams such as the old Uniroyal foam that was heavily used on Planet of The Apes and other films of that day.

 

Charlie decided to make new ear molds too. I guess to put his touch on it. But Charlie was never a fan certainly not a Star Trek fan and made no attempt to replicate the ear sculptures that John Chambers did for the original TV show. They had an entirely different shape. Shorter. Fatter and lacked those distinctive curves. If you watch the film you’ll see at one point towards the end that Spock has one of mine on one ear and Charlie’s on the other. Fred evidently mixed them up and I remember the big bag of Spock ears he had. Remember these old timers back then weren’t fans. And they just didn’t notice such things or seem to care as we do today. Pointed ears were pointed ears. In fact as the movies went on the ears again did not appear as they did in the original series. They maintained that fat short look.

Coming soon. Wearable foam latex prosthetics pointed ears made the same way they were for the Star Trek films. These will be made from 3 piece molds. This means the ears are full ears not the flat backed type.

They will have a fine blender edge so you can have a realistic looking ear with no lines showing.

Currently I'm working on two sizes. One set are on ladies ear castings and the other man's.

Keep checking back for progress on these and eventually pricing and PayPal buttons.

I want to thank everyone for all the support on this effort!
