STAR TREK: TNG “BORG DRONE COSTUME” FROM “DESCENT. PARTS I AND II”

A Borg drone costume featured in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Descent, Parts I and II”. The costume is a form fitting jumpsuit with multiple molded black rubber ‘body armor’ components that feature various Velcro connections and attachments with plastic tubing. The jumpsuit is a black thermal-underwear styled affair with attached feet, a zip up the spine, and a zippered inseam, perfect for affixing all of the molded features with heavy duty Velcro placements. The molded rubber ‘exo-plating’ armor is composed of items that wrap around the body and fasten through either belt or Velcro placements with multiple molded rubber raised accents to suggest technology. They comprise a wraparound for the thighs and shins, biceps and forearms, a torso covering that the wearer steps into and fastens by way of belt with Velcro, a chest armor piece, a collar and shoulder plates, a set of neck tubes, and a pair of spats. The torso piece features tubing that have come loose from one position and the ‘blades’ of armor that cover the back are split down the spine, the neck and shoulder covering has a lengthy tear in the rubber but is still connected, and the tubes in most of the pieces are loose from their clamps, but still present and still workable. The costume is old and to a degree deteriorated, nevertheless, as a display piece it is excellent. A selection of unattached extra elements are present with the lot. The jumpsuit’s sewn in Star Trek TNG tag reads ‘Mr. R. Wilde’ and is inscribed ‘Razatos’, and a sewn in Deep Space Nine tag is inscribed with an illegible name that has been marked out. The molded pieces are inscribed ‘Wilde’ for wearer ‘Rogan Wilde’.
