Background information[]
In a stage direction from the final draft script of TOS: "Miri", the interior of Biggs' toy store was said to include "some kid-sized mannequins, dressed as surfers and surferettes."
Aside from the Balok puppet, at least two mannequins appeared in Star Trek: The Original Series, with one appearing as a Psi 2000 crew woman in "The Naked Time" and as the midform during the creation of android Kirk in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". One also appeared, made to appear like makeup artist Edward French, as the frozen Klingon prisoner in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
