Pros: The self-standing design is a great feature, allowing Worf to display proudly year-round. The dynamic action pose is a refreshing shift from the usual static stances, capturing the warrior spirit of the character. Sculptor Anita Marra Rogers was at the top of her game during this period (1996–2002), and this ornament is a strong example of her work.
Cons: Worf’s skin tone is noticeably too light, which detracts from the overall authenticity. It’s a small but significant detail that keeps this otherwise strong piece from being truly great.
