Good Lord! $800 for a figure?!? I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Thing is this though - I am not a big fan of how the packaging says "as seen in Yesterday's Enterprise" because the head is the same as the one they used for her original figure (as she was seen in season 1) and the uniform isn't modified to be a Yesterday's Enterprise uniform.

I know this didn't answer the question, just felt the need to comment on the eBay thing.

Well, if someone is willing to pay that amount then it's obviously the right price!

But I have to point out you can buy Screen used props/costumes for less!

Trek prototypes are tough to verify at times as they are not well documented. Not sure if this is or just an error,but if it is real he will never get $800 for it. I mean a Palisades Gene & Kirk
boxed only sold for $500 recently.

I agree I have MOC 1701 Barclay that is a #50 out of 3,000 which is a pretty low number but still dosen't mean much, since they don't usually count the low numbers anymore on the bottom of the foot as making it anymore uniqe than the standard 1701 figure. At amazon recently they were actually asking more ($1250.) MOC for a Tapestry Picard that had a higer number as opposed to ($899.) MOC for one that had a lower number.
