85) 2017-19 Spock Quog
From the command bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise to your Christmas tree, Mr. Spock brings a holiday wish to “Live long and prosper.” Failing to add this stylized ornament of the resourceful Vulcan to your collection would be highly illogical.
- Made of resin, this Hallmark ornament measures 1.8 x 3.3 x 1.5 inches. The ornament is ready to hang on your Christmas tree with a hanger attachment.
- Perfect gift for fans and collectors of the original “Star Trek” TV series and iconic Vulcan, Mr. Spock.
- Hallmark Ornaments celebrate characters from contemporary and classic movies, TV shows, toys and entertainment. Each festive and collectible ornament is perfect for sharing with family and friends.
- Each purchase includes one lead-free Christmas tree ornament.
2017 Hallmark Christmas tree ornament featuring a likeness of Mr. Spock from Star Trek – The Original Series. This ornament is made out of resin and comes with a ribbon attached for hanging. This is not sold in Hallmark stores but is a Wal-Mart exclusive. This is not a Hallmark Keepsake ornament but a Hallmark branded ornament similar to 2016’s Maxine ornament.
Serial #: 1HCM3889
Assembled Product Dimensions (LxWxH): 4.75″x 3.50″x2.50″
Retail: $7.99
UPDATE: Hallmark has listed this ornament on their website for sale in 2019.
CBS created a merchandising line based around Star Trek caricatures named “Quogs”.
The new designs, previously seen at the GoAnimate site and with some Funko figures, are part of a much bigger push to create a new line of Star Trek merchandise that will appeal to a broader audience with what CBS are calling ‘a fresh and accessible look.’ The proprietary animated art style applied to the classic TOS characters and settings will be extended to multiple Trek licensees and products beginning with Gluck (watches), Funko (vinyl figures), Trevco (t-shirts), Hallmark (greeting cards), and more.

2018 “The Naked Time” Ornament Revealed at Star Trek Las Vegas
Trekcore has revealed the first 2018 Hallmark Star Trek ornament and it is “The Naked Time”! The preview was seen at this week’s Star Trek Las Vegas.
You may remember in August of 2016 “The Naked Time” had the best odds of being converted into an ornament at 3:1. See what else was was on our list of most likely ornaments!
What else will 2018 bring from Hallmark? A U.S.S. Discovery perhaps? Possibly a Deep Space Nine ornament to celebrate its 25th Anniversary? We will see.

Trekmovie.com has posted every angle of the Event Exclusive Enterprise C. Unfortunately, the ornament has a Dalmatian resemblance.
2017 SDCC Hallmark Booth
Images of this year’s non-Star Wars Hallmark booth. 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.

2018 Predictions: Star Trek Anniversaries and Possible Ornaments
The 2017 Hallmark Star Trek Ornaments are here and San Diego Comic-Con is next week which means we may get 2018 ornament previews. For years SDCC was the platform for Hallmark to sneak preview the next year’s releases. In 2016, Hallmark did not preview Star Trek ornaments at SDCC because their booth was restricted to Star Wars products ending an annual July tradition. Well, this year Hallmark has two booths at the San Diego convention, one dedicated to Star Wars and another one for everything else. Will we get 2018 previews? We will know by mid next week.
Hallmark has celebrated Star Trek’s anniversaries over the years with commemorative ornaments. It began in 1991 with Hallmark’s very first Star Trek Ornament, the 25th Anniversary U.S.S. Enterprise.
The Enterprise was honored again 5 years later for the 30th Anniversary…
…and for the 40th…
…and the 50th…
…twice.
The 50th actually brought a number of ornaments celebrating the golden anniversary and 2017 gave us a 30th Anniversary of The Next Generation.
It was just five years ago that we celebrated Next Generation’s 25th with their own salute to the Enterprise.
So what might we look forward to in 2018 as far as anniversaries? Star Trek: The Animated Series has never been recognized with an ornament and the cartoon celebrates its 45th Anniversary in 2018 which still makes it an unlikely candidate. Here’s hoping for an ornament in 2023 for its 50th!
Deep Space Nine celebrates its 25th next year which makes it very likely for 2018. We already had a DS9 Space Station in 2001 so a future ornament would most likely resemble this year’s Picard/Data ornament. Any scene representing DS9 would hopefully include characters we haven’t seen yet like Odo and Quark.
Star Trek: Discovery premieres this fall, would a 2018 ornament be too soon? I expect CBS will do everything they can to promote the series which will have limited viewership due to its subscription based programming.
