Hallmark Star Wars 1996 Collection

The only other offering this year was The Vehicles of Star Wars, a set of miniature ships: an X-Wing, Imperial AT-AT and TIE fighter. These measure a mere 1" each, and were sculpted by Dill Rhodus, a popular and prolific Hallmark artist. However, shortly after the release of this set, eagle-eyed Star Wars fans noted that the TIE Fighter was in fact hung upside-down; the two lasers on the front of the cockpit were supposed to be on the bottom, not the top of the ship.

The Millennium Falcon dated ornament was a highly detailed "Magic" ornament; it could be plugged into a miniature Christmas light socket to activate its blue-lighted engines and light up the cockpit. Measuring about 4.5" long and 3.25" wide, unfortunately there is no credit as to who the Hallmark Keepsake Artist was.
