Star Trek week: Kirk

I don't know that many other actors are as synonymous with a character they portrayed as William Shatner is with Captain James T. Kirk. Chris Pine has done an awesome job as the "new" Kirk in the current incarnation of the Star Trek franchise, but as Prince would put it, nothing compares to you, Shatner.
William Shatner as James T. Kirk
Here are some great Captain Kirk collectibles.

Star Trek #38 by Gold Key (1967)
