Notes:

• In 1985, Paramount Home Video began to release, in small groups, the entire run of the original Star Trek series on home video. With the release of each new group, a new promotional poster was sent to retailers for in-store advertising. This poster was for the 1986 standalone release of the series' unaired original pilot episode. (On this initial VHS/Beta release, "The Cage" was reconstructed with black and white footage from a workprint of the original pilot, along with some color footage which had been re-purposed for the regular series episode "The Menagerie." Three years later, in 1989, "The Cage" would be released on home video for the first time in full color, in its entirety.)
• Mr. deMar's original key art depicted the character of Dr. Boyce in place of Pike, next to Vina. Our entry for this alternate artwork can be seen here.
• This artwork was used for the slipcase / sleeve art for multiple home video releases of this episode on VHS, Beta, and LaserDisc formats. Many of these covers can be seen here.
• The vertical fine print on the lower left side of the poster reads, "© 1986 Paramount Pictures Corp. All Rights Reserved. • Printed in U.S.A. • Not For Resale."
