Hallmark's radiation-scarred ceramic Star Trek keepsake

Hallmark's delightful miniature "The Menagerie" is advertised as a way to "relive moments from Star Trek's beloved two-part episode featuring the radiation-scarred Captain Christopher Pike." This would be a great Thanksgiving centerpiece, or topper for your toilet-paper cozy.

"The Menagerie"

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

The most excellent Scott Mills (creator of Basic Instructions comic strip) kindly allows you to ask Captain Pike a question.

Sorry – Scott Meyer not Mills.

It’d be a great hack to add a little RC unit underneath Pike, so he could wheel around. Another would be to add controls to the lights so Pike could ‘answer’ Yes/No questions like in the original episode.

For a second I thought Kirk and Spock were speaking with Davros.

Bender: I’d only met the defendant, Fry, once, but I knew he was up to no good.
Zap Brannigan: Use the beeps!

yeah, what Nosehat said… guess I’m more up on Dr. Who than Star Trek.

IT FUCKING LIGHTS UP?!

Wow – it really doesn’t get much better than this, does it?

It appears to also be a CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT!

we never do find out what Captain Pike is wearing under that.

My first thought when I saw this was that Kirk and Spock were playing Family Feud.

Does anyone else think Spock just buzzed in ahead of Kirk on some awesome episode of Family Fortunes?

“Dialog from the episode”…? So it goes “boop boop”?

“Beloved” and “radiation-scarred” together make for a creepy sentence.
Chris Tucker

There’s a video. You forget to mention the video.

Yes, there’s dialog from the episode and Pike’s light works!

Oh, what brave new world, that has such tschotkes in it!
