Star Trek Hallmark Keepsake decorations

Hallmark's Keepsake range is a huge ongoing series of Christmas decorations, featuring characters and other designs from numerous properties, including Star Trek. The first Star Trek design, a model of the USS Enterprise was released in 1991, and there have been new Star Trek ornaments every year ever since, with between one and six new Star Trek designs available every year.

For most of the run of the series Star Trek offerings have tended to fall into three categories: Models of ships, which have featured every year but one since the first Star Trek piece in the range. Figurines of individual characters, sometimes with sections of a location, which have featured almost most years since 1995. And dioramas featuring multiple characters and/or sections of locations, most often recreating specific moments from episodes and movies; these have been a regular feature in the range since 2004.

There have been a handful of other formats as well, including more traditional glass decorations, props, and even a postage stamp. There have also been occasional larger ornaments aside from the tree-hanging type, including table-top pieces and tree toppers. Many of the ornaments feature light or sound effects.

The 2020 introduces a new Storytellers range, which interact with each other to tell stories, varying depending on which decorations you have.

This list is split into six, collecting together the starships range, figurines, dioramas, Storytellers, other hanging decorations, and larger format releases. Within each section the lists are in reverse release order, with the latest designs at the top of the section.

Borg Cube models

This is a list of various toys, models, ornaments, and other products based on the Borg Cube, and Borg Tactical Cube. First seen in the first ever Borg episode, Q Who, the Cube is perhaps the most recognisable icon of the Borg Collective. Its simple geometric silhouette belays the incredibly intricate detailing of the hull, which has resulted in mixed results when recreating the design in the various forms listed below.
