The Barbie & Ken Star Trek Giftset was a special set featuring two of Mattel's 11 1/2 inch Barbie and Ken dolls in Star Trek uniforms. The collector's edition set was released in 1996 to commemorate Star Trek's 30th anniversary. Both figures are dressed in Star Trek: The Original Series-style uniforms and accessories and the packaging features the two dolls standing on the USS Enterprise's bridge next to printed cutouts of Kirk and Spock.
- Barbie ("inspired by Yeoman Rand") wears a red operations division miniskirt with lieutenant's stripes and holds a communicator and a tricorder.
- Ken ("inspired by Captain Kirk") wears a gold command division top with commander's stripes, black pants, and holds a communicator and a phaser.
A matching analog wristwatch with storage case was produced by Hope Industries in 1996 and was packaged as a "collector timepiece." Both the watch and case featured images of the two dolls with the corresponding Star Trek and Barbie logos.
