Star Trek: TMP "Starship Enterprise" Sales Corp Poster (1979)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture "Starship Enterprise" poster produced by Sales Corporation of America, 1979. A "fantastic full color poster of the Starship Enterprise printed on mirror finished chrome mylar." Be sure to click the image above for a larger version!

Size: 22" x 29"
Designer/Photographer: Unknown
Release Year: 1979
Notes:

• The image above is my rebuild of this poster. Reflective chrome mylar does not photograph well! As such, I was not able to locate any good reference-quality images of this poster, so I reproduced the poster design digitally as exactly as possible. For comparison, a photo of this poster is below.

• Greenberg's describes a coupon inserted inside Lesney AMT's 1979 model kits of the Klingon Cruiser and Vulcan Shuttle which offered three different full color posters. This poster was offered for $6. (See the "Enterprise in deep space" poster here; the cutaway poster is here.)

Star Trek: TMP "Enterprise In Deep Space" Sales Corp Poster (1979)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture "Enterprise In Deep Space" promotional poster produced by Sales Corporation of America, 1979 and distributed in various formats.

Notes:

• Photographer / designer unknown.
  
• The cast lineup at the bottom is reminiscent of the 1978 teaser poster for TMP. Notably absent from the lineup is Mr. Chekov, replaced here by the beloved characters "Arcturan," "Vulcan Master," and "Lizard Man."
  
• This image was used for at least three different printed posters. (1) Greenberg's describes a coupon inserted inside Lesney AMT's 1979 model kits of the Klingon Cruiser and Vulcan Shuttle which offered three different full color posters (see below). The premium 22" x 34" single-sided version of this design was offered for $3.

• (2) A double-sided version, also 22" x 34", was included in a special TMP ViewMaster Gift Set. Side one is as shown above, with the reverse being an anaglyphic 3D (red-and-blue offset) version of the same scene, which one could view with the included "Spock Vision" 3D glasses. The Gift Set, #2362, also included three story reels, a ViewMaster viewer, and a booklet [source].
• (3) This image was also used for a promotional poster which measured approximately 20" x 24". This version was apparently offered by a fan club of some sort ("the Clubhouse"), as the reverse appears to advertise the next poster in the series as a Mork & Mindy poster (M&M was produced by Paramount's television arm, so it's possible "the Clubhouse" was Paramount-related). See below.
