The Year without Santa Claus

Santa is just over six inches tall without his hat, and he's several inches wide as well. He has a small metal chain that goes across his vest (and part of the expanse of his belly) and he has a cane and a hat (which fits but doesn't have magnets or pegs to keep it there). The neck and shoulders can twist and there is an elbow twist for the right arm. Both hands can twist and the waist can also twist. There isn't any leg articulation, but the waist joint is rather ingenious in that it is like a ball joint so the legs can be moved forward into a sort of sitting position. The lower ball of his waist is split into two hemispheres with a leg on each, so the legs are able to move while the articulation is completely hidden. This is a great touch and Palisades has always made an effort to hide articulation when possible. PLEASE READ THE NOTES CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: THE HAT AND CANE IS MISSING. THERE'S A Scratch ON LEFT FOREHEAD.
