FAKE Uhura Gold Up for Auction

2 Replies

It’s a fake!

Thanks for the info. I did not realize the ornament was painted, should in hindsight have looked closer. DUH. I pulled the auction and will destroy the fake one, I don’t want to have that out there in the universe. I wish I had noticed the spot earlier and not listed it at all. Sigh. 
I bought these from a large estate sale and there were literally hundreds of ornaments. About 30 had boxes the rest did not. I didn’t realize there was a significant fake market or I would have done more digging and included more details. This site was the only yellow Uhura link I found. Thanks to someone emailing me in eBay I realized it was likely a painted one and immediately pulled the item. Fortunately none of the rest appear to be worth anything like this, just regular ornaments. Thanks to the collector who emailed me first asking for details and pointing out the paint.

Item number: 176515760298

Add some excitement to your holiday décor with this rareStar Trek Hallmark Uhura Ornament from 2009 and its original 2007 version too.  The ‘Gold’ Uhura ornament is one of only 450 produced for Comic-Con 2009 exclusively. 

The Comic-Con exclusive is a Keepsake Ornament of Lt. Uhura wearing acommand-division gold uniform from the episode “The CorbomiteManeuver.” It is a repainted version of the 2007 limited edition Uhurafrom Keepsake Artist Anita Marra Rogers.
This sale includes both! Sadly, there is no original box for either, but the pictures are theactual items included in the auction.  Theyare in great condition and previously sold versions of the exclusive Goldversion have proven elusive and rare in the market.

A big ‘thank you’ to Harry, who found and forwarded images of his of his Enterprise w/ Delta. The box and the ornament are both marked with a 2023 copyright. This is the sixth box variant for the ornament and has a manufacturing date of March 2023.

Thanks again to everyone who has forwarded images, found mistakes, asked questions or just wanted to share stories via email! It’s always good the hear from you.

How Does Hallmark’s ‘The Keeper’ Stack Up Against Star Trek: The Experience’s Talosian?

4 Replies

Hallmark’s The Keeper ornament has a clear height advantage, towering nearly 3/4” above his competitor. What Star Trek: The Experience’s Talosian lacks in height is made up in weight. The Talosian weighs in at a hefty five ounces more than the rookie upstart.

Ring the bell, already!

ROUND 1 (Eye hook placement)

Star Trek: The Experience
Hallmark

An eye hook is fastened to the back of the Talosian’s neck and vanishes when the ornament is observed head on. A devastating hook to The Keeper’s head gives Talosian the first round.
Round 1 scoring: Talosian: 10, The Keeper: 9

ROUND 2 (Head details)

Star Trek: The Experience
Star Trek: The Cage
Hallmark
Star Trek: The Experience
Hallmark

The head of the Talosian has a more bulbous shape and a closer depiction of what was on screen. Unfortunately, it is sloppily executed. In contrast, The Keeper’s less accurate oval shape is very clean and defined. After trading head shots, The Keeper wins the second round.
Round 2 scoring: Talosian: 9, The Keeper: 10

ROUND 3 (Necklace details)

Star Trek: The Experience
Hallmark

Upon close inspection of the necklace, the Talosian’s paint technique is jarring. In contrast, The Keeper has clean, crisp lines and colors. Hallmark delivers an uppercut when it comes to the paint details.
Round 3 scoring: Talosian: 9, The Keeper: 10

ROUND 4 (Hand details)

Star Trek: The Experience
Hallmark

The Keeper gets knocked to the canvas by a fierce left-right combination from the Talosian. The Keeper struggles to pull himself up off the mat due to his lack of hands.
Round 4 scoring: Talosian: 10, The Keeper: 8

ROUND 5 (Robe details)

Star Trek: The Experience
Hallmark

The Talosian’s robe is very rudimentary. The Keeper sports the finest detail of any Star Trek ornament to date. This seemingly new manufacturing technique gives this robe its gorgeous texture. “DOWN GOES TALOSIAN! DOWN GOES TALOSION!”
Round 5: The Keeper delivers a knockout punch to the Talosian!

Additional information:
Star Trek’s larger-than-life commander of the “U.S.S. Enterprise” now can occupy the smallest corner of your holiday display. With a dynamic pose that looks ready to face any challenge, this Captain Kirk miniature Christmas tree ornament captures the action of the original “Star Trek” series.
Pros: Easily the stronger of the two 2023 miniature releases, this tiny ornament packs impressive detail—including rank insignias on the sleeves—making it a remarkable feat of miniaturization.
Cons: At its core, it’s essentially a scaled-down version of the 2010 Legends Kirk, offering little new beyond the size reduction.

Additional information:
If the final frontier is space, this version of Starfleet’s 23rd-Century flagship takes up very little of it. This miniature Christmas tree ornament offers Star Trek’s iconic “U.S.S. Enterprise” in a size that’s right for even the tiniest tree.
Pros: Hallmark is thoughtfully offering options for collectors with mini tree displays, making it easier to enjoy Star Trek ornaments in smaller spaces.
Cons: While the 2001 Deep Space Nine station cleverly integrated mini ornaments into a larger display, these minis currently lack a dedicated purpose or stand, making them feel somewhat incomplete. A Delta-shaped display stand for mini ornaments would elevate their appeal and functionality—now that would be something to talk about!
