2021 Picard Ornament Sold on eBay

A rare Hallmark Picard ornament was sold today in an eBay auction. The 2021 ornament originally appeared on Amazon late last year but was never widely available and quickly became unavailable.

The ornament packaging offered for the eBay auction was in horrible condition (see below) yet it was still able to fetch $132.35 with shipping. There is no word whether the Picard ornament will make another appearance online or in stores this holiday season or if it was just a limited quantity one-hit wonder.

box has damage, ornament seems fine.”

“Paint job was horrible. I know that when I am purchasing a Hallmark product, I have an expectation of receiving a quality product. It should be gift-worthy. When I received the Picard ornament, I was, frankly, shocked. If I had had the opportunity to examine beforehand, I would have passed this by completely.

What a retched paint job. This is Captain Jean Luc Picard, not the Joker! Workmanship matters. Pride in ones work should matter. Where is the quality control in such things? Shame on you for releasing such a poor quality item.”

“Slightly misses the Darmok. My wife loved it, but says it looks more like JK Simmons than Patrick Stewart”

“Impressive. I was really surprised at the details of this. Got it as a gift for my brother because he’s a huge Star Trek fan and he loves Picard. Would have kept it myself, but my brother is lucky I like him. Lol.”

“Smaller than expected. This was good quality sturdy as any other hallmark ornaments. I was a little disappointed on the size. We have all the other Star Trek captain ornaments and was adding Picard to the collection although he is almost half the size of the others. Still a great ornament just strange that they decided to make him differently sized than the others.”

Artist Inspirations: Picard (2021)

5 Replies

It appears the 2021 Hallmark Picard ornament was inspired by a deleted scene or photo from the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s series finale, ”All Good Things…”.

Left: 2021 Hallmark Picard ornament.
Middle: Picard on set of The Next Generation’s ”All Good Things…”.
Above: Images of Picard on trial in ”Encounter at Farpoint” with crew by his side and standing on an unlit platform confirming the inspirational image was not taken from this episode with a similar set.
Left: Image from ”All Good Things…” where Q questions Picard. Picard stands during every trial scene with his arms at his sides.
Right: Picard’s pose with right hand over left is never seen during the episode which makes it likely from a deleted scene or an onset photo due to coverage of the series’ finale.

The only other images I could find of Picard in the same pose…

Left: Image from “Jean-Luc Picard Was the Father Figure I Needed”, startrek.com, January 9, 2020.
Right: 2014 set of salt and pepper shakers.

I would take great delight if the artist’s inspiration was taken from a salt shaker.
