Pros: A standout entry thanks to its striking paint job and impressive lighting. The deep greens and reds give it an authentic, battle-worn look, and when lit, it truly comes to life on the tree—aggressive, angular, and unmistakably Klingon.
Cons: As with all early pigtail ornaments, powering it can be a challenge. Finding compatible light strands is increasingly difficult, which can turn setup into a mini engineering mission. When it works, though, it’s glorious.
