Artist Inspirations: Pike (2024)
For presentation only. Design and product may vary.
Although we are months away from seeing the 2024 Pike ornament it is never too early to look for the artist’s inspiration. The captain’s chair is a huge part of Star Trek mythos and it is welcomed that Pike (and chair) is being immortalized in ornament form. Hallmark has sculpted a captain in the captain’s chair three previous times (unfortunately, Janeway, Sisko and Burnham were not “caught” sitting down).
The inspiration of Pike’s pose predates Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and comes from Season 2, Episode 14 of Star Trek: Discovery. Pike is seen (below) with his legs crossed and take notice of the distinct positioning of his hands. It is nearly identical to what can be found on the ornament.
In the Discovery episode (above), Pike is is not wearing the uniform that he will don in Strange New Worlds and his hair has not yet become the sculpted masterpiece we will come to know and love. It appears Hallmark kept the pose from Discovery but changed the uniform and hair details to match the Strange New Worlds publicity photo (below).
I’m always impressed by your eagle eye, pal! Yep, those were the precise references.
But what episode did I pull the audio from? Huh? 🙂
-Kevin Dilmore
Here’s my guess…
“Maybe that’s why I’m here, to remind you of the power of possibility. Maybe that’s the good in seeing my future, that I might remind you that right up until the very end, life is to be worn gloriously because, until our last moment, the future’s what we make it.”
-Pike, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 Episode 1
I’m guessing it is safe to say it’s not from Subspace Rhapsody.

Trek Core Reviews ‘Ode to Spot’ Ornament
Kelly Phillips of TrekCore.com has posted a review of Data’s Ode to Spot which is available in stores now. Please visit Trek Core to read the entire review which includes photos and a video.
“Data has those striking gold android eyes and the precision brown haircut just as he should. Spot is painted beautifully in all her cuddly orange tabby cat glory.”
Hallmark Honors Data and His Cat with 2023 “Ode to Spot” STAR TREK Ornament -TrekCore.com
Well, that’s a very gracious review and one I’d not seen. Thanks for sharing this with the group. The reviewer raised a fair question that I’ll answer here. Kelly wrote:
“In a perfect world, I’d have loved for the ornament to include the whole poem. I don’t know if this was some kind of technical limitation or just a creative decision, but it’s a small demerit on what is otherwise a lovely ornament for my collection.”
Technical limitation or creative decision? Why not both? 🙂 There was a limitation on the ornament in that typically we use chips that can hold about 27 seconds of audio. (Some ornaments have bigger chips with greater capacities but those also carry higher MSRPs.)
And that’s where the creative decision came in. Myself, I regard the poem’s first four and final four lines as the most memorable:
Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.Also recall that Data opens his recitation with an introduction, and later is interrupted by applause from Commander Riker, upon which Data comments. The whole thing runs close to two minutes long. To spare you the expense of time and money, I made the edits.
I hope it makes a fun addition to your tree and your collection.

2023 Hand of Apollo Video Review
Captain Stuart Foley posted a video showing off a 2023 The Hand of Apollo ornament that is currently in stores. Take a quick look to hear his thoughts and see it in action.

2011 Defiant Available on eBay *UPDATED*
A 7-day auction brings us eBay’s first U.S.S. Defiant of 2023. The Defiant had a limited run of only 700 when it was released in 2011 and came with a glow-in-the-dark paint job. It quickly became one of the most highly sought after Hallmark Star Trek ornaments. The Defiant typically resells from $1,200-$2,000 when it shows up on the auction site. The eBay auction ends Saturday.

Update:
Data’s Ode to Spot Delayed
If you visited your local Hallmark for the Ornament Premiere you may have noticed a lack of Datas and Spots on the shelves.
After exploring three stores worried that there had been a run on a synthetic intelligence android-lifeforms and their feline pets it seems the 2023 Data’s Ode to Spot ornament has been delayed to late July.
Supply-chain issues remain a thing, friends. I have been crossing my fingers for these to make it to stores in time for this very exciting weekend but it just wasn’t to be. I hope that those of you who already have made it to Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Premiere at least have had a chance to see and hear this ornament for yourself in person. Thanks for your patience!

Sixth Packaging Variant of Spock, Quog Ornament
I would like to thank Eric M. who sent in photos of a sixth version of Spock, Quog ornament packaging (2HCM2165) that was completely unknown to me. The box is dated 2018 and, like the other red boxes of that year, it features Spock’s head in the lower left corner of the packaging.
The cardboard packaging is most similar to 2018’s 2HCM4087 ornament but the vacuum-formed plastic is noticeably different with a portion specifically designed to house Spock’s right hand.
Below are the other versions of the Spock ornaments that ran from 2017 through 2019.
