Observations in TNG: "The Most Toys"

This footage of the USS Enterprise-D was newly recorded for this episode, using the 4-foot model. A comparison shot from "Booby Trap" shows the older 6-foot model from a similar angle. One way to tell the models apart (from a distance) are the windows in the neck.

The footage of the USS Enterprise-D and the Jovis was re-used in "The Perfect Mate" where the alien ship appears as a Valtese transport ship. The Jovis is, as previously said, a redress of the Husnock warship.

The basotile in Fajo's collection doesn't seem to be as rare as he thinks. The prop was also seen in Deep Space 9's assay office in DS9: "Necessary Evil", in the Symbiosis Commission building on the Trill homeworld in DS9: "Equilibrium" and even in Bahrat's office aboard the space station close to the Nekrit Expanse in VOY: "Fair Trade".

The vase on the right is Sèvres porcelain, originating in 18th/19th century France.

Data's Shakespeare edition is not identical to the one that Maddox reads in "The Measure of a Man", although it is supposed to be the same book.

The drawer in Data's desk is a new addition for this episode.

The Zibalian replicator in Kivas Fajo's trophy room is a re-use of the sickbay replicator first seen in "Evolution". For this re-use, some wall panels and a second display were added to the prop. After "The Most Toys", the Zibalian displays were replaced with 24th century LCARS displays and the prop was reinstalled in sickbay, as can be seen in the screenshot from "Sarek".

Now, something funny happens in "Transfigurations", filmed after "Sarek": The sickbay replicator all of a sudden displays a Zibalian graphic. It is possible that this happened due to necessary refilming after David Rappaport (the first actor to play Kivas Fajo) attempted to commit suicide and several scenes from "The Most Toys" needed to be refilmed with Saul Rubinek as Kivas Fajo after "Sarek". Maybe it was forgotten to remove the Zibalian graphic when the prop was needed again for "Transfigurations".

Troi and Worf's turbolift ride is interesting for several reasons. They are seen entering the turbolift, with a corridor wall behind them, and leave the turbolift at the end of the scene, entering the bridge. This was filmed as one continuous shot, so how did the corridor change into the bridge? Something similar was done in with Doctor Pulaski's turbolift ride to the bridge in "The Schizoid Man", but in that episode, the effect was achieved using a blue screen.

In "The Most Toys", no blue screen was used. Instead, Troi and Word are standing in the turbolift, attached to the bridge set, right from the beginning. This is made clear because the inner turbolift door is gray (as it is on the bridge). When somebody enters a turbolift from the corridor set, the door is normally orange, from the inside and outside. The effect of a corridor wall was achieved by positioning a fake corridor wall behind the turbolift door. The wall was removed during the turbolift ride, revealing the bridge behind the wall. Now, the wall is wrong for two reasons as well: It is much too close to the turbolift door and the actual wall directly opposite the new turbolift is beige and has no panels, unlike regular corridor walls. This can be seen in the shots from "A Matter of Perspective" and "Hollow Pursuits", showing the wall as seen through the holodeck/cargo bay door which is just a few feet to the right of the turbolift door.

We do not know the species of Palor Toff. But another member of his species appears in LOW: "Reflections", also as a collector and with similar clothes, including the odd headband.

His brooch was later worn by Lwaxana Troi in "Half a Life" and by a background alien in DS9: "Q-Less" and "The Forsaken".

Toff's golden headband would reappear in Aquiel Uhnari's quarters on Relay Station 47 in TNG: "Aquiel". It can even be seen in the Star Trek spoof "Star Patrol", worn by the a Zenuvian captain.

The sculpture on the right is a bust of Niobe, a Roman copy of a Greek original.

The colorful lamps in Kivas Fajo's collection room are called Rainbow Model A-5040 by Artup Lighting. The same lamps will be seen again in Dr. Soong's lab in "Brothers".

Several pentagonal wall panels are seen in the Jovis's shuttlebay. These panels usually appear as cargo crates in the USS Enterprise-D's cargo bay but first showed up in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier".

The metallic bottles on the ground are later seen in "Frame of Mind" in the Tilonus Institute for Mental Disorders.

The wall console in the background was last seen on the bridge of the Pakled ship Mondor in "Samaritan Snare".

Varria is gruesomely killed by the Varon-T disruptor.

Note the chair in the background. This is one of the earliest of countless appearances of the Ergoform workseat in Star Trek.

The console behind Data first appeared in the classroom in "When the Bough Breaks".

We can also see that in "The Most Toys" the room behind the arch is smaller than when the brig set appeared in "The Hunted" and "Déjà Q".
