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: Broik
Broik can be seen often throughout the entire series, portrayed by David Levinson. However, this Ferengi costume is only briefly seen in the Deep Space Nine episode 'Bar Association'. At this point in the series, he still had not uttered one word on screen. While it may not be one of the flashiest of Ferengi costumes, I am glad it is in my collection.
Upon closer inspection of this costume, It seems that the base shirt is likely a modified off the rack shirt, with the scraps used for the headwrap. The vest is custom made, and I have seen the same fabric used in another Star Trek costume. I do not have the jumpsuit for this costume, and I suspect it was used from another Ferengi costume as seems to have been a common cost cutting practice.
This costume did make one further, albeit minor, appearance in the season 4 episode 'Broken Link'.
