Hallmark Itty Bittys
Well, we said this blog is for all Trek merchandise, and we meant it. Besides, these adorable little buggers deserve noting as much as the books. Somewhere along the line, Hallmark figured out fandom + cute = money, and they’re not wrong. I already bought two of the Kirk and Spock set.
You can get a set of four: Kirk, Spock, Bones, and Uhura. These are, as you can see, adorable as all heck. Bones even has his tiny medical tricorder, Spock even has little pointed ears, and everybody but our Vulcan looks oh-so-happy to be yours. In my personal opinion, they should’ve done Uhura in the same style as the others, as it looks like she’s showing her midriff, but then, that’s supposed to simulate her dress and boots, and that might not bother others who prefer to see these as mashed-together-legs rather than entirely legless. Unfortunately, these are also a bit larger than what I would want given the style, but again, that’s a preference. At 4” tall, they’re just a tad larger than Pop Vinyls, and at 30$USD regular for the whole set, they weren’t a bad price—though as a collectors item, you might have to look second hand to get them now. Kirk and Spock are also available separately as smaller keychains, and they’re a perfect 2.75”. Well made, soft, sweet as Spirk, and sold as a set of 2, they’re a steal at 10$USD. Being light fabric, they’ll likely dirty after time—hence my double purchase—but for now, they’re the cutest accessories my purse has ever had.
The larger sized Data and Geordi are also available as online exclusives for 8$ each. You can see how equally adorable they are. And if you really want to go all out, so are Picard and Worf... in their sweet, sweet ride. They’re 25$USD in their 9”x8” ship. Again, it’s a bit large, but then again, look at these ridiculous dorks.
