There are definitely visual similarities, especially if you are watching the episode in 1960’s quality. But in the modern remaster, the eyes look more like they are probably something like foam spheres with plastic gems glued on.
You aren’t wrong here. I spent a bit of time looking for a source and couldn’t find one. It’s like an urban myth. They could have taken one of those covers and painted over it heavily, but for the life of me I can’t find a source, and I am fairly experienced in sources of Trek stuff.
That’s the Gorn from Star Trek the original series made in the lste 60s.
Fun fact: the eyes were microphone covers.
This is the second time I have seen that said on Lemmy, and I just don’t see it. Do you have a source for that? I cannot find anything.
They look to be from a sm58
