I have been a fan of Star Trek since I was a kid. When Paramount decided to auction all of it's Star Trek materials, I jumped at the chance to own something, anything from those fantastic shows and films. Of all the characters that have left a mark on the television shows, none entertained me greater than the morally bankrupt Ferengi. Upon receiving my first Ferengi costume, I knew then I had to have more. This blog site is simply to share my collection with you.

Deep Space Nine: Civilian Waiter
This Ferengi costume was seen (or barely seen, rather) in two Deep Space Nine episodes. The first being 'Bar Association' where the Ferengi employed in Quarks bar formed a union of sorts to get better wages and treatment. In 'A Time To Stand', he is seen walking by Weyoun and Jake as a background character. Ironically, even though he was in two episodes, this unnamed Ferengi seemed to hide behind other characters, so the screencaps shown below are the best to be found of him.

Kevin Brown portrayed this Ferengi, but had no lines. This costume is the obvious result of the episode needing Ferengi extras for the shoot. The base shirt is a modified off the rack shirt, and I suspect the vest is as well. The jumpsuit is the same one used for Gral/Lonzo and has many internal tags, each with a different name including Kevin's, thus this costume is complete.
