Presented below are some detailed photos of several screen used Vulcan props and costumes from the
new Star Trek:
Strange New Worlds television series,
the 8th live action adventure series in the history of the franchise,
which is set to premiere on Thursday, May 5, 2022 on Paramount+. This collection of production material was recently on display in a special Strange New Worlds exhibit
at Star Trek: Mission Chicago, a ViacomCBS
sponsored fan convention that took place from April 8 - 10, 2022 at the
massive McCormick Place center in Chicago, Illinois. It appears, based on the artwork that accompanies the costumes, that these outfits were created for use by the characters of Spock and T'Pring. An instantly recognizable prop in this group is a redesigned Vulcan Lirpa, an ancient fan bladed weapon that made its Star Trek debut in the memorable 2nd season TOS episode "Amok Time" (original airdate: Sept. 15, 1967).
Special thanks to my friends and fellow Star Trek fans T.J. Babinetz and

for their very gracious permission to display their detailed photography
of
this exhibit in this article. Just click on
