Quantum Mechanix Star Trek insignia badges

Quantum Mechanix (otherwise known as QMx) have been releasing Star Trek insignia badges since 2009. Like many of QMx's products, the badges are highly accurate reproductions of screen used props, in some cases even using original production molds.

QMx have two different ranges: Full scale prop replicas (early badges had pin backs, but these were soon replaced with powerful magnets, allowing each badge to be worn without damaging clothing), and under-scaled pins (which continue to use pin fastenings).

The list below is split into those two groups, and then in reverse release order, with the latest badges at the top of each section.

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.

IDW's Star Trek (Kelvin timeline) ongoing comic series

IDW's Star Trek ongoing series is a series of Kelvin timeline comics, the first stories from the new timeline of the 2009 Star Trek movie set after the events of the film. The series began in 2011, and was the first continuous Star Trek comic series from the publisher (as opposed to the miniseries that made up all their previous Star Trek titles). The series eventually ran for sixty issues, concluding in 2016, by which time it had become the fourth longest running Star Trek comic series ever.

The series began with two-part reinterpretations of TOS episodes, and gradually introduced more entirely original stories as the series progressed. It has also had several flash-back issues filling in some of the back-story of the nuTrek characters. Several stories from the series also included crossovers with other Star Trek series, directly or in flashback, introducing elements of DS9, TOS, and TNG. As the series continued the format has varied more, with stories of different lengths, ranging from one to six issues long.

The series was written almost entirely by Mike Johnson, with Ryan Parrott contributing the only two issues not written by him. Numerous artists have worked on the series, with Tony Shasteen the most prolific, having illustrated most issues since issue thirty-five.

The first twenty issues of the series were set between the first nuTrek film and Into Darkness (or flashbacks to earlier), issue twenty-one picked up events following Into Darkness. From issue forty-two to fifty-two the series was given a subtitle, 5 Year Mission, reflecting the mission the Enterprise had embarked upon.

The series ended to coincide with the release of the movie Star Trek Beyond in 2016. A new ongoing series, Boldly Go, from the same creative team, launched later the same year, continuing the Kelvin timeline story after the events of the film.
