Uhura in her iconic pose, left hand up to her ear and elbow pointed out, was recreated in Keepsake form in 2007.
Left: Uhura in “The Carbonite Maneuver”.
Right: The 2009 convention exclusive ornament is a simple repaint of the 2007 Uhura in red, happily, she strikes her famous pose wearing gold in the “The Carbonite Maneuver” (S:1, E:10). The back of the Hallmark box states Uhura had only wore gold in that one episode although she had donned it previously in “Mudd’s Women” (S:1,E:6).
Left: Nichelle Nichols as Uhura in a 1966 publicity still.
Right: 2015 Legends Series: Uhura ornament with slightly less hair and missing the front overlap on her skirt.
Left: Uhura in “Mirror, Mirror” (S:2, E:4).

Box Text:  “Hailing frequencies are open.”  From the command deck of the Starship Enterprise, Lieutenant Uhura breaks the silence of deep space.  As communications officer, she transmits messages in all the languages of the known galaxy.  Hers is often the first human voice to be heard by alien races in unexplored star systems.  Both Uhura’s name and her spirit reflect the Swahili word for “freedom.”
