Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard has hit Paramount Plus \"\"<\/a>and this season looks like it is going to be the best Trek ever! You have probably seen in trailers what one of the \u201cbig bads\u201d was going to be and I have to say that they really freak me out. I am speaking of The Borg.  This cybernetic race is perhaps the greatest threat to all sentient life throughout the galaxy. If you are fan of the Borg then Factory Entertainment has the collectible for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Available for pre-order from Factory Entertainment is a unique Star Trek collectible — a prop replica of the Borg Queen Skull from Star Trek: First Contact.  The Borg Queen was the entity that served as the central nexus for the Borg Collective. The Borg, a fusion of organic and synthetic matter, and their relentless pursuit of perfection brought fear to all quadrants of the galaxy and appeared in both Star Trek motion pictures and television series. Factory Entertainment’s Borg Queen Skull Replica replicates the cybernetic skull and spinal cord that remain after the Borg Queen\u2019s body is dispatched by Captain Jean-Luc Picard during the climax of Star Trek: First Contact.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Star Trek Universe, the Borg Queen is not a single entity, but is one of many. In Star Trek: First Contact, she was memorably portrayed on-screen by Alice Krige. Factory Entertainment is proud to present this replica as a Signature Edition, with a plaque personally signed by Ms. Krige.<\/p>\n

The Original Prop<\/p>\n

A physical skull prop was created for confrontation scenes at the end of Star Trek: First Contact. Made from resin, it was augmented with LED lights and animatronics. The physical prop was blended seamlessly with CGI to create the final scenes.<\/p>\n

The Replica<\/p>\n

Factory Entertainment’s Borg Queen Skull Signature Edition Replica has been copied directly from the surviving prop in the CBS archives to ensure accuracy.<\/p>\n
