2016 San Diego Comic-Con Opens, Hallmark Enterprise Exclusive Released

image

Comic-Con International: San Diego returns to the San Diego Convention Center in 2016, beginning with Preview Night on Wednesday, July 20, and running Thursday, July 21 through Sunday, July 24. 2016 marks the 47th year for the show, making it the country’s longest continuously-run comics and popular arts convention.

This will be the first chance to get the convention exclusive pilot episode Enterprise Hallmark ornament.  A limited number will be available each day at SDCC.

PA.INT.31960_H7.C

Preorders have been selling on eBay since April but look for current availability to drive prices down.

This convention exclusive ornament will be made available at Star Trek: Mission New York, scheduled Sept. 2-4 and New York Comic Con, Oct. 6-9, both conventions located in New York City.

2017 Hallmark Star Trek Ornaments Preview Today

image

The San Diego Comic-Con has its preview night tonight, July 20, 2016 before it opens for business tomorrow.  Preview Night runs from 6:00 -9:00 pm local time. In what has become an annual tradition each July, expect to see images of the 2017 Hallmark Star Trek ornaments leak out today and tomorrow.

The Star Trek Legends Series appears complete with this year’s Chekov release so we may see a Next Generation Legends Series begin.  A ship from this month’s Star Trek Beyond seems likely but I am holding out hope for an Enterprise B.  As far as what scene we will get in 2017? Popular untapped episodes include The Doomsday Machine, Space Seed, The Enterprise Incident, Journey to Babel and Balance of Terror.  After the year we have had I am hoping for an ornament based off Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.

Looking even further into the future, 2018 will likely bring a new ornament based on January’s new Star Trek series.

So I guess this is a part of the Legends Series after all. This was promoted as “inspired” by the Legends Series as the 2015 Uhura was claimed to be the last in the series.  I’m not a real big fans of the sculptor bios on the back of the boxes either.

Chekov looks a little like one of The Monkees if you stare at him too long.

Kirk looks a bit iffy.

Not sure Jake “got it right” when it came to Kirk’s face.

The Star Trek 50th Anniversary Enterprise!  A much better ornament than the dull gold plastic look images have shown.
