Collectible Thomas Kinkade White Christmas Snowman Animated Figurine: Product Review
That’s a long title, but I’m referring to the Thomas Kinkade Crystal Snowman. I had seen him many times on the Collectibles Today website and thought he would look perfect with my other Christmas decorations.
As with all items I receive from Collectibles Today, it was well packed and well protected. When I placed him on the table, I knew I had made a good choice. He was absolutely beautiful and much more impressive than he appeared on the website.
His head glistens with a very fine glitter that has the appearance of new fallen snow. But you won’t have to worry about glitter getting on everything.
First Impressions
The expression in his eyes looks as if he’s saying, “I’ve been missing you.” That’s my interpretation. Since each one is hand-painted, yours might have a different look and you might have a different interpretation.
O.K. His eyes say “I’ve been missing you” and his big charming smile says, “I’m glad you’re here.” His arms are outstretched with a big warm welcome and in his right hand is a shiny silver lantern. I especially like his silver mittens and scarf. They add a wintery feel, and they reflect the light in such a way that you can actually see the knitted effect. It’s very striking and adds a look of elegance in the midst of the gleeful whimsy.
The little Thomas Kinkade village tucked inside the White Christmas Snowman is charming as usual. Little houses, including a church are nestled on a snow covered hillside. Tiny little villagers enjoy the winter snow scene. Look carefully and you’ll see a little snowman and several lampposts.
When you turn on the switch, a soft light glows from the windows of the little buildings which adds to the sense of peace and serenity; and a tiny train circles around our White Christmas Snowman.
The Durability Test
Knowing that small children cannot resist touching moving parts, I always do a little testing of my own to find out how delicate a product is. I did a little tugging on the tiny figures and a little pushing on the buildings and everything seemed to be securely in place.
I then checked the little train as it was turning. It felt a little more delicate. It is securely in place, but it is not a heavy duty decoration. I don’t recommend that you allow your children to check out the train for themselves. To be on the safe side, this one might be a no-no.
The Final Analysis
My first impression was positive. It was far more beautiful than the illustration on the website. The crystal was heavier than I expected and the silver scarf and mittens reflected a lot of light giving it a look of elegance.
I would have liked it better if the lamp he holds in his hand were to light up, but that would have been a little more complicated and would have raised the cost. But it really doesn’t detract from the beauty of the Snowman.
After thoroughly checking it out, I think it’s a good buy. It’s well made, it’s beautiful and it’s a clever display case for a Thomas Kinkade village.
If you’re using a snowman theme or a white theme, he will be outstanding. He will also be a gift you can be proud to give. He’s a great buy and a tough act to follow.
