It’s not too early to start thinking about Christmas time, right? Either way, Hallmark is starting to show off some sneak peaks of their upcoming 2015 line up. You may recall last year Transformers fans were treated to a Generation 1 Optimus Prime ornament, it goes without saying that Prime would of course need his nemesis to battle with while hanging from the tree. Thanks to Hooked On Hallmark, we have our first look at the Generation 1 Megatron ornament.
No prices or release date info is released yet, but make the jump for now to share some initial thoughts.

Here is a list of all the tranformer Hallmark ornaments.

Now that is total awesomeness!! I love starships and the enterprise C has not gotten much love in toy/collectible form.
T-Logicon
That's awesome. If I find one, I'm buying it. He can join my tfa ornaments.

I knew people would ask but still failed to measure it. Going off memory (I don't have him handy to measure right now) he's about 4" tall. Maybe half as big as the actual G1 toy. Now that I say that, I should dig out my G1 'Tron and take side-by-side pics! Retail is $14.95 so I would assume any actual Hallmark store would sell it at that price.
Nope. No articulation at all.
Starscream 91
Wow those look heavy

Now I'll have Hallmark G1 style Optimus and Megatron ornaments to go with the American Greetings Optimus and Megatron ornaments.
That Enterprise C is tempting but I have way too many Hallmark Star Trek starship ornaments. I'll probably still end up getting it though.
Starscream 91
Is it possible they are going to release one every year now? Or at least for a few years?

My brother will fall out when he sees this… I got Optimus last year, so I'll pick up this Megs for sure, he looks better than Movie Megs hanging on the tree… Movie Megs scares the kiddies.

I've been collecting most of the Hallmark Star Trek starships like the Enterprises (A, D, E, & now C) for years, and now I look forward to getting Transformers for my Christmas tree too. It would be cool to get one with a light-up and/or sfx feature too, like a G1 Prime head or an Autobot symbol with a transforming sound or Peter Cullen clips.
American Greetings/Carlton Cards made some cool G1 ornaments years ago, which have gotten expensive on the secondary market, so I hope Hallmark continues this new line. Hmm…, Wouldn't it be great to also get a new Transformers train set to put under the old Christmas tree? Does Tyco still make those?

They are pretty good sized, but not too huge, they do still have to fit between branches after all
And yes, how did I forget about the Optimus Prime from last year? I swear I'm going senile.

Yea just ordered prime for 23.98 (since i missed out last year but now i have.more of a reason to pay extra. Theyre nemesis') I called my local hallmark store and they are holding one for me for 24 hours I'm pumped!
Question though; how big is it and is retail everywhere about $14.95? Thanks

It never occurred to me to buy Transformers ornaments. I'll have to visit the Hallmark store I work next door to, come fall.

I'm surprised it says Walther P38 on the side, wouldn't that have required licensing?

Man that's awesome !!

Grimlock revealed as 2016 Hallmark ornament!
I posted this as a new topic, but thought I would post it here as well so everyone interested will be sure to see it.
Nocturne
Hang on just one Gosh darn momment.
They made ornaments of Op and Megs. Yet the only known character with an Ornament for an Alt-mode gets ignored. Poor Rung…
KnightHawkke
I would pick that Megatron up except for..
This is way more important. The perfect time for it right along with Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection – Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki #46 coming out.
EightiesKid
Ditto that! I wonder if we will start getting G1 transformers ornaments each year now? My guess is the next one would be G1 Bumblebee? Then maybe G1 Starscream or Soundwave? That is if we continue with getting an Autobot one year, and a Decepticon the next year.

Picked him up last weekend at my local Hallmark store since I had a coupon. He doesn't transform or pose but looks still really cool. Definitely not a toy and some parts, like the gun barrel, will pop off with minimal handling. This one's meant to hang high on a tree away from small hands.
Time to plan the TF themed tree!
