2019 SDCC Ornament Now Available!
The I.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek’s Mirror Universe is now officially available. With San Diego’s Comic-Con officially up and running fans are getting their hand on a rare Hallmark offering. Ornaments are beginning to show up on eBay starting around $89.99. A production run of 3,475 will makes there more valuable than your typical store ornaments.
Box description:
When a transporter malfunction during an ion storm flung Captain James T. Kirk and three of his officers into another dimension, they found themselves on board the I.S.S. Enterprise, a Terran Empire battle cruise nearly identical in configuration to the ship they called home. This “mirror universe” Imperial Star Ship Enterprise featured dagger-and-Earth symbols as decór, armed soldiers in every corridor, and torture chambers called agony booths to keep crew members compliant with command.

Doug Jones Signing at SDCC
Doug Jones, Saru of Star Trek: Discovery, stopped by the Hallmark booth at San Diego Comic Con yesterday to sign this year’s Discovery ornaments.

2018 San Diego Comic Con Opens!

This year’s comic con has begun. Today is the first official day of San Diego’s annual convention following last night’s preview night.
There are two Star Trek exclusives from Hallmark this year. Look for Lt. Arex and Lt. M’Ress from Star Trek: The Animated Series. This duo is sold as set of two.

Hallmark’s second offering is a Gorn itty bitty. Although not an ornament itty bittys have been Hallmark’s other venture with the Star Trek line.
The Gorn joins four Original Series characters and four Next Generation characters in the itty bitty universe.

Convention attendees should be on the lookout for Discovery’s Commander Saru. Doug Jones will be in the Hallmark booth on Saturday from 5pm-6pm signing Discovery ornaments.
For those of you that can not attend the conventions this year look toward eBay to fill your collection.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that Hallmark is having any Star Trek sneak peeks like they are with their Star Wars ornaments across the convention hall. Hallmark’s Star Trek displays consist of the three 2017 ornaments (including the event exclusive Enterprise C), six Star Trek ittybittys, last year’s Kirk Squeely and the Robb Pearlman book.
The Enterprise C has a price listed at $40.
