Tribbles are strange creatures that procreated at a rapid pace and appeared in one of the original 'Star Trek' episodes. Hilariously enough, they have now been brought back by the power of the new 'Star Trek' flick!
The trouble with Tribbles is how rapidly they reproduce, proving to be quite the task for Captain Kirk and friends, however, these Tribbles available for purchase are just round balls of fluff that purr.
These toys are the ideal gift for any hardcore Trekkie.
