While Hallmark’s wide-release annual holiday ornaments will be beaming down to collectors later this year — the second set of “Mirror, Mirror” Storyteller figures, and Star Trek: Picard’s La Sirena starship — the company announced this week a convention-exclusive special release timed to celebrate one of the franchise’s most beloved films.
Coinciding with the 35th anniversary of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the company unveiled their new Star Trek Klingon Bird of Prey ornament — playfully named the HMS Bounty in the film — which will arrive on schedule with July’s San Diego Comic Con and October’s New York Comic Con events.
Unlike the original Hallmark Bird of Prey model released in 1994, this edition will be an all-metal build, and will be painted to match the color scheme of the ship seen in the 1986 film, right down to the “hand-painted” HMS Bounty name on the vessel’s neck.
Luckily for collectors, because of ongoing pandemic concerns neither of the two 2021 conventions will have an in-person Hallmark presence, so the company will be making the limited-edition ornament available for purchase online during the opening day of each event — so the only way to miss out is if the only 3,750 produced ornaments sell out before you get to enter your credit card information.
Priced at $35, the HMS Bounty Bird of Prey ornament will be available for purchase during these convention dates:
- Comic-Con International San Diego: July 23-25
- New York Comic Con: October 7-10
According to Hallmark’s announcement, the ornament “will be sold on a first-come basis starting at Noon Eastern time (9 a.m. Pacific time) on the first day of each convention,” and that “sales permit one of each exclusive product to be sold per person, per transaction while supplies last.”
While the ornament won’t be available for purchase until July 23, you can bookmark this page at Hallmark’s official site to order when it goes live.
