Future U.S.S. Enterprise™ STAR TREK: The Next Generation™
A future version of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D appears in a space-time paradox where three separate time periods have collided. Commanded by Admiral William T. Riker, the refitted Enterprise and officers are reunited with the former captain, Jean-Luc Picard. Mankind’s existence is in the balance as the ships and crew from different eras join to battle the enemies of the Federation and the forces that caused their convergence.
Press the button on the bottom of the ornament to see the ship’s deflector dish and engines illuminate.

QX14347
Pros: It’s a treat to see this somewhat obscure but extraordinary version of the Enterprise-D—complete with its third nacelle and aggressive upgrades—join the holiday fleet. The sculpt is sharp, and the design perfectly captures the ship’s sleek but formidable look from “All Good Things…”.
Cons: Some fans may not immediately recognize this alternate future Enterprise. To which we say: shame on them! A quick rewatch of the TNG finale should fix that.

QXI4347

Lynn Norton..“The triple-nacelle ornament from (the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode) ‘All Good Things…’ was based on my original sculpture from 1993. Hallmark allows artists to retain original artwork for our portfolios, although the sculptures are often badly damaged from the process of molding and prototyping. The licensor supplied me with a number of photographs of the filming model as it was being refitted with additional components. In addition to adding the third nacelle and battle-bridge modifications, I made numerous proportional adjustments and refinements to the sculpture. I knew the 2007 ornament would be battery powered and wouldn’t have to pass the rigorous UL tests for tapping electricity from a light string. I still had to make provisions for LED placements, wire paths and battery installation, which included an access door on the underside of the saucer.” – See more at: http://www.startrek.com/article/hallmark-sculptor-lynn-norton-on-the-storied-history-of-trek-keepsake-ornaments?ecid=PCID-2617611&pa=affcj#sthash.eHmdJ3hi.dpuf
