Baskhir Curlies, hypoallergenic horses.

I thought it was an alpack-horse.

Uniformed human, an an albino elephant.

Best tree decorating ever.

Anyone else collect the Star Trek Hallmark ornaments? Are those even available overseas, or is that a US-only phenomenon?

I’ve got one or two, but more of the Sinatra, Elvis, and KISS ones.

You're a KISS fan too?!

Well, Mikey is a cool guy.

Years ago I had a collectible model of the Enterprise-D. It was battery operated with a few lights and sounds even, though I quickly misplaced the certificate of authenticity and I have no idea where it is now. That was before I had a tv in the bedroom and the boob tube took up the space previously allocated to the E-D. There was also a collection of various small Trek-themed models at some point. Both were gifts and presumably have been given new homes now.

Full disclosure: I’ve only seen them live 3 or 4 times, and always with Singer and Thayer.

I knew I liked him for a reason!

As obnoxious as a Trekkie as I was in my youth, I never really picked up on collecting models, aside from the Micromachines that were out when I was about 10-12 years old. The Hallmark Christmas Ornaments, though, were my absolute obsession. I own every one in the series (2 of some years), going back to the 25th Anniversary debut in 1991, and will continue to purchase them even though I long ago ran out of space (or a strong enough tree) to put all the ships.

Looking back, I rather wish I had some of the smaller models available back in the day.
