GUND Launches Star Trek Plush Animals

GUND, under license by CBS Consumer Products, will bring the classic characters of Star Trek to life in soft plush. Each character will be dressed in the proper Star Fleet attire and featured as a plush animal. The initial launch will include Captain Kirk as a lion, Dr. Bones as a dog, Lieutenant Commander Spock as a cat, Lt. Uhura as a teddy bear and Scotty the Monkey. The launch of GUND’s new line coincides with the 50th anniversary of Star Trek’s first TV episode.

Products will be available in retail stores this spring.
