Great spotlight on the '91 1701! I recently got this one off ebay and i plan to display it on my tree this year. I was thinking of buying into a complete collection of these items, i have maybe 7 , so thats only like 46 more to go.

I'm still working on my set...but I'm limiting myself to only classic tv/movie inspired ones. The 1991 one is really the only one that's all that expensive...everything else seems pretty reasonable...

For the most part you're correct. Although the TOS blown glass ornament isn't always cheap either. Right now that one and the stamp are the only two of the past ornaments that I'm missing. I need this years releases as well as ANYONE GOING TO SDCC(?!!) to get the limited edition Uhura.


As for the review, you're spot on! I agree about the 1991 placement as well as lack of engine lights and/or sounds, but considering this was the first one ever, they did a decent job.

Nice review. I finally made it by a Hallmark this weekend to see these new ornaments. I will definately be getting this ship as well as the others (at some point), but the ship is so much better detailed than the scene figures.

It's probably my fav of all the ship ornaments produced so far!

Honestly I still think the Defiant and Delta Flyer are their best work to date. There are some other good ones, but those two in particular were my favorite renditions (of course I'm mixed on the voice bites...but they were still cool features).

Update on previous review: I got the Uhura thanks to a very kind soul from this website and his connections. Thanks mate!

On this review: As for "The Menagerie" ornament, I'd say you gave it a spot on review. This scale's likenesses do take some getting used to (as they are not the best likenesses), but other than that it's a good ornament.

Some commentaries on the Hallmark P1 phaser:

Picked up the Hallmark P1 Phaser ornament yesterday and my first impression is : gee, its looks & feels just like the Art Asylum P1 phaser

- the sight hood is not firm and rattles when shaken (it flops open when flipped upside down)
- similar plastic casing texture as the Art Asylum (maybe a slightly more shinier for the Hallmark)
- the firing is activated by turning the thumb wheel ... which simultaneously raises the sight hood and shoots out a red light at the emitter tip
- there are three firing sound pitch(s): low, medium and high frequency which can be selected by turning the numbered dial
- the middle small button (located between the thumb wheel & number dial) plays the following sample voices (with each press) :
Kirk: concentrate your phaser fire at what appears to be its head
Kirk: set you phaser on one quarter & I'll leave mine on stun
Spock: direct you phasers at 2:00 and to 10:00, take aim please and fire when I give the signal
Kirk: your phasers will be set on maximum, the creature may or may not attack on sight, however, you must
Kirk: we come in peace but we'll defend ourselves if necessary
Spock: listen, do you hear it, that low hum; Kirk: phaser; Spock: on overload

Overall, okay; decent sound quality; a little on the expensive side ($25 CDN) but if you need to complete your Star Trek Hallmark ornament set & also to 'combo' it with last years communicator, then go for it.
BTW, I had to exchange mines as the first one was electronically defective (right out of the box) & non-functional ... this is the first in history for me that I got a defective ST Hallmark ornament ... I've always had a perfect record with Hallmark ornaments

For some reason the 'equipment' ornaments have never done anything for me. Then again, I used to think that about the characters, and now I'm trying to scoop them up. hehe As far as ornaments, I love ships the most.
