Star Trek First Contact (1996) - Original Borg Drone Mannequin Prop (180 cm) as seen used on screen - U.S.

An original Borg drone mannequin prop as seen used in Star Trek: First Contact (Paramount Pictures, 1996), the eighth Star Trek film and the second to feature the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation (Paramount Domestic Television, 1987-1994). In film, the crew of the Enterprise travels back in time to stop the Borg from corrupting Earth's past.

This prop Borg drone mannequin is composed of a cast foam latex material that has been hand-painted and features cast Borg drone armor. Wear from use during production, and from age are present throughout the figure. The base of the Borg drone's legs have a PVC pipe armature for internal support and display purposes.
While Borg drones were often depicted by actual humans in Star Trek, mannequins such as this one would have been used in shots that did not require movement.

One such sequence occurs at the very beginning of the film, when Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) wakes from a nightmare about his time as "Locutus." The shot pulls back dramatically to reveal Picard in a Borg regeneration alcove amidst millions of drones. Similarly, during the climactic final confrontation between Picard, Data, and the Borg Queen (Alice Krige), drone mannequins can be seen in the background.

Includes a DVD of the film.
