Ship looks nice. It's unfortunately mute though.
In the latest in the annual overcharging of Star Trek fans for Christmas ornaments Hallmark brings us this Klingon battlecruiser. It's meant to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original Star Trek movie from 1979 (which I saw in the theatres - I'm getting old). Anyway the detail of the ship mirrors the Klingon ships from that movie.
It actually looks great. The detail is nice and it's not just monochrome either - so the colors are better than your average one.
It comes with three micro sized flat batteries. Unlike other previous Hallmark ornaments it doesn't plug into the light system. This is good and bad. Good that you don't have to wrestle with taking lights out of the system. Bad in that you better remember to take the batteries out before packing it away. I've had things like that ruined by exploding batteries during the year. Plus they're non common batteries if you need to replace them you're going to pay a decent price for replacements.
It's also somewhat disappointing that for what you pay for it the ornament is mute. Several others in the past talked or at least had ship sounds (phasers etc). This doesn't do anything like that. All it does is light up which helps with the visual look of the thing but I would preferred it talk.
Despite all that it does look very nice so in that aspect it is a nice ornament. The negative bits kept the star rating at 3 otherwise it would have been much higher.More detail ...
