TrekCore Reviews 2022 Enterprise and Storyteller McCoy

The (McCoy Storyteller) audio sounds nice and clear, and Hallmark did a great job of including some of the most iconic lines.

I was especially impressed with the sculpt on this ornament; it looks so much like DeForest Kelley! They even captured that skeptical eyebrow arch and slightly furrowed brow.

Mirror Storytellers show featuring seven characters and no Enterprise.

While I’ve read some views that the (Strange New Worlds Enterprise) ornament looks more like the version of the ship introduced in Star Trek: Discovery — a model which was slightly tweaked for Strange New Worlds — I can’t say I notice any of those differences.

“The comments regarding the SNW Enterprise are fair ones. Given how much time it takes to move an ornament from idea to the tree, I’m confident the assets we had at hand when we needed them were from Star Trek: Discovery. How far in advance are we working? We’ve got the Star Trek ornaments for 2024 awaiting approval so they can advance to sculpting.”

The Henry Ford Museum Opens Permanent Hallmark Ornament Display

The Henry Ford Museum recently opened up a permanent Hallmark ornament display. The collection originally belonged to The Party Shop in Warsaw, Indiana. After being acquired by the Henry Ford, the museum displayed 110 ornaments during the 2019 holidays which included the 1991 Enterprise. Today, you can see the entire collection of thousands of Hallmark ornaments on display in Dearborn, Michigan.

“Whether you own a few or are a serious collector of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments, the new 7,000-piece permanent collection at The Henry Ford will trigger a trip down memory lane. Miniature Moments – A Journey Through Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments,” which features a collection assembled from 1973 to 2009.”

STAR TREK

“The science-fiction classic Star Trek started as a series that aired from 1966 to 1969. But it became such a cult classic that it spun off into several later movies and TV series. Beginning with the Starship Enterprise in 1991, Star Trek ornaments have always appealed to Trekkies who eagerly await the annual release of the new ornaments.”
