The original designer of Spock's Vulcan ears, Fred B. Phillips produced his 2000th Spock ear during production. Each ear was made of latex and other ingredients blended together in a kitchen mixer, then baked for six hours. Though Phillips had saved the original series casts used for making the appliances, Leonard Nimoy's ears had grown in the decade since and new molds had to be fabricated. While on the small screen, the ears could be used up to four times, since nicks and tears did not show up on television, Phillips had to create around three pairs a day for Nimoy during filming.
