Never Give Up, Never Surrender…Until You Get This Ornament
While I do have quite a few Star Wars ornaments in my collection, it’s been a while since I added any new ones or paid any attention to Hallmark’s science fiction ornaments in general. I happily made an exception this year to add the N.S.E.A. Protector to my collection.
If you aren’t familiar with this ship, you need to immediately go and watch the movie Galaxy Quest. I’ll be here when you get back.
All good?
Now, you know why I wanted to add this movie to my collection. I’ve loved that movie since I saw it in the theater, so a chance to add the ship to my ornaments was a no brainer. And this ornament is great. It looks just like the ship does in the film. Okay, so it’s not necessarily that different from any other space ship, but the design is a little sleeker, at least in my mind. I appreciated that, in addition to the paint identifying it as the Protector, it includes the National Space Exploration Administration logo.
And any fan of the movie will be thrilled. While we are a loyal fan base, we don’t have a ton of merchandise, so it’s nice to get this ornament. It makes me smile to look at it.
Being a space ship, this ornament isn’t that exciting if you just set it out. I mean, it does sit okay, and it rests at a bit of a fun angle. It looks like it is about to head up as it flies through space. But it isn’t very tall, so it is easy to overlook.
Which is why you’ll want to hang this ornament even if you aren’t putting it on your tree. It hangs straight, and it looks great – like it is ready to fly off into a new adventure.
Any fan of Galaxy Quest will be thrilled to add the N.S.E.A. Protector to their Christmas tree. I know I am.
