To start out with the worst merchandise, Michael Dorn remembered a selected lunch field. Evidently, a intelligent lunch field producer thought to make a 3D mannequin of Worf’s face that may very well be loaded with meals. When being carried, a baby was merely toting a Klingon skull. It should have appeared grim. Dorn mentioned: 

“It appeared such as you have been carrying round an individual’s chopped-off head by the hair. I believe that is the one time that I went, ‘Guys, that’s the worst concept I’ve ever seen.'”

The lunch field was rejected, however some Trekkies might recall the Klingon Nice Corridor playset. It wasn’t Worf’s head, however within the Nineteen Nineties, kids may buy a plastic head that, when cracked open, revealed a Polly Pocket-like diorama inside. It got here with miniature motion figures. As of this writing, the majority of Worf merch on-line consists principally of clothes bearing Worf’s face, costume, or dialogue. Additionally, throw pillows the place Worf is a cat. 

Dorn might have been startled by the lunch field however did recall two items of Worf merch that made his coronary heart beat quick. He mentioned: 

“After I grew up, I had a G.I. Joe and in order that was the second after I sort of went, ‘Oh my god…?’ Effectively, there’s two moments: after I received my first motion determine, I believed it was actually cool. After I knew that I would arrived, we had Pez dispensers and there was a Worf Pez dispenser. […] That to me was like, ‘Okay, I am an icon now.'”

Nobody is anybody until their head on a Pez dispenser. Who hasn’t wished to eat miniature bricks of sucrose instantly from the throat of a Klingon warrior? Purchase any two Pez machines, and get Riker free.
