Inspired by Queli and her Barbie’s … with captions.


She's all yours Jim, take good care of her and she will always bring you home.



Space the final frontier, these are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.


it's five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and civilizations ...

I love it! More, more!!

Very Good !!!

Awesome! I'd like to see them go shopping at Hobby Lobby now. It can be like they're exploring a different planet. Planet retail-happy-place.

Qui-gon Grin...that.was.fabulous! Loved it, and like Mark
said, "More, more, more!" :-)

Love it.

What a great display!

Looks great!

Carol

Yay Queli!

I'm sure Queli and her Barbies are proud to be an inspiration.

Very enjoyable Trek montage.

Yes, Diana, we are :-)

Qui-gon Grin...I've been back to see your photos several times and
and they make me smile every time. Thanks for sharing :-)

Great display!!! Loved it...do more?
Thanks!

thanks for sharing.

Thank you all. Sorry the photos aren't more clear, but ... well... I'm a lousy photographer. Though I do like the second photo as it has sort of an animated series quality to it.
Any Trekkers and astronomy fans notice what's wrong with the first photo? Of course if they aren't in Earth orbit there isn't an astronomical problem.
As for Planet Hobby Lobby, well it's not located in this sector so I don't think they will make it there.
As for more, all my ornaments are packed away in containers in my attic, except for two that fill in holes in the action figure collection as the scale is pretty close.
So here you go:



Mr. Singh: I know something of those years; when a greeting card company made decorations for Christmas Trees.
Captain: Kirk: Yet you chose to leave.
Mr. Singh: I grew fatigued from hanging on a tree branch.



Captain Janeway: That outfit isn't exactly Starfleet regulation.
Chakotay: I don't see what's wrong with it.
Tom Paris: If it's not, it should be.
Harry Kim: It looks fine to me.



Live from the Delta Quadrant it's the Deep Space Fashion Show. Today modeling various styles of an ex-Borg unitard is Annika Hansen. Annika enjoys travelling with her family, astrophysics and self-discovery!

and finally, something I have been wanting to do for years but just never got around to it ... let us journey to another galaxy far, far away:



This is not the droid that we are looking for.

I love the last one.

Very good !!!

These just cracked me up. They are all so droll :-) Great job!

I was already laughing, but that last one took the cake. Love it!

Great job! Love the last one!

Karen

Here's more. All set up with lines from Star Trek VI The Undiscovered County

Dr. McCoy: That's a big ship.
Scotty: Not so as big as her captain, I think.





or if you prefer



or an even younger generation

I'm really enjoying your photos. Keep them coming :-)

Yay Qui-gon Grin! Apologies with calling you Queli a few months ago. It was a lot of fun seeing your displays again! (And Queli, I love your displays too!).

Thanks for the many giggles!

Lisa

Qui-gon Grin ~ May I join this very appreciative audience and express my delight? I smiled and laughed, and isn't that what it's all about? Your playful spirit just shines through in these photos and captions. Thank you!

Ditto what Barbara wrote. Thanks for the giggles.
(btw that action figure of Kirk in the green shirt has been one of my all-time ever favorites. For years I had it on my desk at work and on especially trying days I'd take a break and make Kirk do shoulder rolls.)

(-: thanks :-)

All while humming this I'm sure:

Well I thought of this months ago, but wasn't able to do it until premiere.

Love!

Love it!

Very Good !!!

Not perfect but if you have seen the trailer:

A little bit of George Lucas, um ... er... Kathleen Kennedy by way of Irwin Allen ... A long time ago in the Land of the Giants ...

Those backdrops make them stand out. Great use of your collection.

I love that first one!

Keep going boldly, Qui-gon Grin!

Thanks for sharing your collection with us and having fun along the way. I’m really enjoying your photos. The backdrops are perfect!

Great pics, thanks for posting !!!

Aren't you a little short for a Stormrtrooper?

LOL, love the display with the dialogue.

Too funny :-)

Dr. McCoy: Jim, I don't mind welcoming the new crew members on board by why the dress uniforms?
Captain Kirk: Well Bones, it's Christmas so I thought why not get a little dressed up.
Dr. McCoy: Ok fine, but why isn't Spock greeting the new crew members, he is the first officer after all?
Captain Kirk: Well Spock asked if he could skip this one as he heard the new crew members are rather animated.


Captain Kirk: Welcome aboard!
Dr. McCoy: Jim when you said that one of the new crew members was a catwoman, and considering our timeframe, I was expecting Julie Newmar or at least Eartha Kitt!
M'Ress: Don't worry doctorrrr, I can sing "Santa Baby" of you want.

You should be writing the shows. The look on Kirk's face as his head turned to the new kids is priceless. Loved the good holiday laughs.

Love it!

This just cracked me up!

This is an important anniversary this year. I am glad you brought them out for us to see.

Well now that premiere has come it's time for some new postings.

"Go for help! Go!"

"All his life has he looked away, to the future, to the horizon..."



and to set the mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gpXMGit4P8

That last photo set cracked me up.

Thanks Qui-gon Grin...those were great!

July 20, Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-nine: The Eagle has landed. (Yes I know the ornament is the Antares [from Apollo XIV]; but it's close enough).

Very nice!

Yep, close enough! Thanks for sharing!

Fast through the forest.

Looks like he’s going at 100 miles an hour!

I came up with these ideas while they were on the tree but now that it is tree down is down I could bring the ideas to life.

Hey Fred, I got the kids; it's time for ornament premiere.
YABBA-DABBA-DOO!



Preparing for the next mission



The mission begins ...



Can't you just hear the strains of Jerry Goldsmith.
For you nonTrekkers out there (the inspiration for these photos):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b52b4yORX6U&t=325s
and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA-jWOnqAZ0
* Note: This isn't the 2019 Enterprise, it's the NCC-1701-A. I didn't see enough difference between the two to buy the 2019 version, and then I couldn't find it discounted.

Gathered together from the far reaches of the universe the call goes out for justice!

All of these look great.

Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos. Your muse was definitely on guard. :-)

More to come but I'll start with this one, entitled babysitting.

"Attack pattern delta, go now."



Use your harpoons and tow cables, go for the legs.


Reenacting the Atari 2600 "The Empire Strikes Back" video game.

Perfect backdrop for the figures! Didn't Hallmark hit it
out of the ballpark with this ornament?! And because it's
5"H it's just perfect to pair with The Child. This figure
was just a photo story waiting to happen. Great job!

Loved the photos. They were a lot of fun to scrutinize :-)

I remember that Atari 2600 video game!

I had that Atari 2600 game, or was it a Atari 5200 game ???

It was a 2600 game. I had it, and I never had a 5200.

I just check Wikipedia to see if maybe a version was made for the 5200. Parker Brothers made the game for the Atari 2600 and Intellivison. A version was never made for the 5200.

We had Pong

I had Pong, the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, and the first NES.

I went from the Atari 2600 to the first NES. Super NES and then I skipped to the Wii and WiiU.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Your Star Trek dioramas/displays are so creative and always make me smile 😃!!!!!

Slip of the tongue. LOL I think you meant Star Wars.

Thank you very much. I'm glad that the photo bucket images came back, they disappeared like the Tiny Pics for awhile. I wish I could edit the posts with the missing Tiny Pics, but the posts are too old to do so.


Maybe not, check the first page, unless Galloping Cat was refering to only the latest posts.

No, I was thinking about the early pics in the string with the Enterprise crew(s). My husband is a HUGE Star Trek fan, and I showed him the one with Captain Kirk holding the enterprise....

My husband enjoyed all of the pics. He noticed the one with the Hall of Justice and the mini heroes positioned around it. I had missed that one.

"And your the one who likes to discuss size?"

Hahaha, loved it! :-)

Very nice.

Those are the perfect ornaments for this story. I love the position of the little girl’s
feet and the slippers below. She is living every child’s dream of seeing Santa
on Christmas Eve :-)

I am charmed beyond anything . . .

So tender, so full of dreams, so delightful . . .

I'm filled with joy to see your creation and how it speaks to my heart! Thank you for causing such joy; it comes at such a special time...

Ralph

And so it begins again ...


What a gift! I thought I lost you forever. Hey kid put that back, how many times do I have to tell you.

Yeah! How many times do you have to be told?!

Love that photo :-) You're good at story telling.

Very good !!!

Another story ....



The Captain: Are you sure it's not one of ours? I heard that there is "Star" in the name.

The engineer: I know those things on the side look like nacelles, but I've looked everywhere and I can't find a warp core or antimatter/matter inducer.

Haha...Capt. Kirk doesn't look convinced :-)

Well as it was Premiere it's time for some more. Not my best, and again blurry photos but ...

As revivals of TY series is all rage, and as this series has alredy had its revival, why not a cross over ... HAWAII 5-X anyone?



Now you have choice to make. You continue to play by rocking on your Bantha or you can go to Ornament Premiere. But I must warn you going to Premiere can lead to emotional attachment.



[font:Book Antiqua} On second thought, we're not going to need a bigger boat.[/font]

Love your sense of humor :-) Your comments just crack me up.
I enjoyed your photos especially the first one. The scale of that
ukelele is perfect :-)

I've missed these delights!
Hope y'all had a happy premiere and left with bags of ornaments but still some cash in your wallets. Haha.

Good to see you again Diana!

2 months after the fact, but 40 years in the Mutara Nebula:
