Hi
From Maxsmodels here is a short history of the Aurora Mr Spock kit, which was also released by AMT. The kit has a rather complicated history due to different companies having the Star Trek rights for different countries, plus AMT only being interested in the spaceship kits, while Aurora was best known for its many figure kits. The video shows various early design ideas, and the production version with the three-headed snake. The kit was later modified to depict Spock as he appeared in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, without the snake, and with a different uniform.

Oh, Mr. Spock with a snake - I recall that kit vividly, although I never owned it. What an icon that is!
