While it might be April, there are already Christmas related stories to cover! This time around, it's the announcement of Hallmark's latest Transformers G1 ornament! Hallmark started this series a few years ago with Optimus Prime, and has continued every year since, making a Grimlock, Megatron, and Soundwave. This year we get another Decepticon for our trees in the form of Starscream!
Thanks to a listing on the Hallmark website sent in to us by Seibertronian westjames/notirish, we have some new stock photos, a price of $15.99, and also get a short description! These ornaments are famous for being extremely faithful to the G1 toys they're inspired by, and it remains true here. Check out those stock images below, and let us know if you'll be picking Starscream up when he hits Hallmark stores mid July!

So long, Autobots! It's time for action with Starscream™, the power-hungry Decepticon Air Commander who considers himself the leader of the future. Fans of the classic Transformers® robots will relive the excitement of childhood each holiday season as they unbox this Christmas tree ornament.

I would rather find transformers under my tree than hanging on it.

I just saw this one at my local MCX (Military Exchange) for about $15. I plan on picking him up this week. I have all except for Grimlock from two years ago. I was busy with getting the house built and totally flaked on picking him up. Hopefully I can find him on Amazon or EBay. These are pretty sweet.

What would be better than having this Starscream hanging from your tree and also having the Wal-Mart Exclusive G1 reissue sitting under it? Nice

Still, toy-accuracy seems a like an odd choice for original sculpts. I think a show-accurate robot mode Screamer hovering above would complement the reissue better than just a smaller non-transforming version of the toy. These ornaments look cool for what they are, this one's timing just makes it seem ironic is all.

Whether you like it or not, the Holidays are upon us, Seibertronians. If you still think you need something TF-related to spruce up your tree, drop into a Hallmark store, as their new Transformers Ornaments are now available. We've previously reported on Starscream a couple times, (this year's entry in a series of ornaments based on the original G1 toys that included Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, and Grimlock in year's past), and now we have in-hand images courtesy of yours truly. We also have in-hands of a Transformers "Customizable" stocking ornament that we hadn't seen before, featuring an image of Optimus Prime on the front. Check them all out below!

Are they, Starscream the same scale as the G1 fig?

No, quite a bit smaller. And non-transforming!

I've been shipping quite a few things over seas recently. Let me know! I'll hook you up. Shouldn't be that much to ship. Box is smaller than a legend class, and very light.

Hallmark makes sure to have a Transformers G1 toy styled ornament every year for fans to add to their tree. This year it is Jazz. It's pretty cool to see Jazz since this does define him as the G1 mainstay that he is, regardless of his absence in the MP line for the past 20 years of its existence.

You will find an image below along with all the info we have on the product thanks to a listing on The Digital Dreambook.

Artist: Orville Wilson
Released: 2020 (Ornament Premiere)
Retail Price: $17.99 USA
Material(s): plastic
Dimensions: 2.9" w. x 3.7" h. x 1.9" d.
SKU: QXI2544

I have all the releases thus far and this one will join them come Christmas IF COVID-19 doesn't screw up the rest of the year to go to stores and whatnot

I own all of these and can’t wait until this coming Christmas 2020, the 35th holiday season with the Transformers brand, to add Jazz to my other commemorative ornaments. Also great point, how come no MP Jazz yet? What gives?

Licensing, most probably.

Do any of you collect the G1 Transformers Hallmark ornaments. This little guy is going to be showing up across the US soon and if you are curious about him, well we have some in hand images. Shockwave is the latest in a set of Transformers G1 Christmas ornaments that's been going on for several years now. He looks incredibly faithful to the original toy, as most of them do. Jon 3.0 and xrotorstormx sent us some in hand photos.

I was very happy to pick up Shockwave! He looks pretty darn good and could be my favorite now!

These are wonderfully detailed but for the price they're just a bit too much for me, especially because I'd like to dip in to the older ones and their ebay prices are outrageous
