Hallmark’s second store display in 1995…
Store display for the two captain ornaments of 1995…
A second Hallmark Star Trek poster (30” x 20.5”) from 1994…
A huge Hallmark Defiant Ornament poster from 1997 measuring 48” x 72”.
A 1993 Hallmark display for the Enterprise D ornament.
The cardboard display is an insert that looks to swap in and out of a Hallmark display similar to the one for the 1994 Bird of Prey display.
1993 U.S.S. Enterprise Magic Hallmark Ornament Store Display (Ornament not included)
Made of plastic and cardboard.
Appx. 16″ tall x 12″ wide.
On the back there is a pocket that holds the plastic pegs. Unsure what their purpose is.
A 20.5” x 30” 1994 Hallmark store poster promoting the release of the Klingon Bird of Prey ornament. Unfortunately, this image is quite blurry and it difficult to make out anything but the largest type.
Hallmark spread the word of the release of The Next Generation’s Enterprise NCC-1701-D ornament in 1993 with a 3.25″ promotional button. A similar promotional button for another Enterprise ornament was distributed earlier this year.
Here’s a Hallmark commercial for the 1995 Romulan Warbird ornament I had never seen before. The quality isn’t great but it is still worth a look.
Martha Hackett auditioned for the role of Jadzia Dax in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but lost out to Terry Farrell. She was cast as a member of the Terellian alien species in the finale of Star Trek: The Next Generation, “All Good Things…”. She appeared on Deep Space Nine as the Romulan Sub Commander T’Rul in the two part episode “The Search” in season three and starred as Seska in thirteen episodes of the television series Star Trek: Voyager.
Hallmark gave away souvenir buttons back in September at Star Trek Mission New York. The buttons feature the 2016 50th Anniversary “Pilot” Enterprise with gold finish. You can still get the ornament in stores this month but good luck finding a button anywhere.
The 1992 Hallmark Galileo ornament was the only Star Trek ornament released that year. It was also lucky enough to have its very own Point-of-Sale display. A 15.5″ x 18″ x 11.5″ deep box contains a 1992 Hallmark Christmas ornament talking store display. The 4″ long “Galileo” lighted Shuttle orbits a moon-like quarter sphere on a metal rod. Push-button on the base of sphere allows one to here message from Mr.Spock.
The 2016 Dream Book is available to view at hallmark.com and in stores today, May 14, 2016. We get a look the Star Trek 50th Anniversary To Boldly Go tabletop display. It has come a long way since last year’s artist’s rendition preview.
Unfortunately, at under 6″ tall and less than 7 1/2″ wide, it’s whopping $74.95 asking price may have even the biggest Star Trek fans second guessing their fandom.
We also get looks at the “Pilot Version” of the U.S.S. Enterprise and Kirk from the scene “The Man Trap”. Both of these are the same as we were previewed last July.
As for Chekov…
“Although this ornament is not on the list, Star Trek’s website does advise its fans that it will be available at the beginning of the Keepsake Ornament Premiere.”
