You would think that, with all the wizardry at the command of this powerful Sorcerer, he would have magically improved his vision to the point that he did not need glasses. Actually, he wears them just for the effect he gets when he peers over them and scowls disapprovingly. You place your hand into the opening in the middle of his back and up into his head to make him scowl... um... talk (he's actually quite a humorous fellow). He's 36 inches tall and comes with a wand... um... rod that can be clipped to either of his hands for dramatic magical gestures.

PINOCCHIO (GS4908)

The Adventures of Pinocchio (original title Le avventure di Pinocchio) is a novel for children by Italian author Carlo Collodi. The first half was published in serial form between 1881 and 1883, and then completed as a book for children in February 1883. It is about the mischievous adventures of Pinocchio, an animated marionette, and his poor father, a woodcarver named Geppetto. It is considered a classic of children's literature and has spawned many derivative works of art, such as Disney's classic 1940 animated movie of the same name, and commonplace ideas, such as a liar's long nose (source: Wikipedia). Our Pinocchio is 28 inches tall and comes with an arm rod that can be clipped to either hand.

SANTA CLAUS (GS4901) 

Ho, ho, ho! Santa stands 28 inches tall, but he's not standing just now. He's kicking back just a little bit to avoid "down-time" later, if you get our drift. Mrs. Claus gave Santa a delicious pair of red-tinted shades and he wears them most of the time these days.* Your hand goes into an opening in the puppet's back and then up into the head to work the mouth. A single rod can be clipped onto either of the puppet's hands to add realistic gestures.

MAGICIAN (GS4307)

Presenting The Great Mistako! Oops. We mean... THE GREAT MYSTICO. Standing a full 28 inches tall, this Surprising and Baffling Magician is both surprised and baffled at his own incredible powers of illusion. He is dressed in his most formal tux (the one with the tiny playing cards embroidered on the left lapel) and comes complete with an arm rod that can be easily switched from his left hand to his right. Operate Mistako... er, Mystico, by placing your hand into the opening on his back and up into his head to work his mouth.

LEPRECHAUN (GS4905)

Meet Shamus O' Blarney, as fine a Leprechaun as ever there was! Even at 217 years of age, Shamus still has (almost) what it takes to trip up the unwary and charm the unsuspecting. Besides an occassional twinge in his back and a conjured up Pot O' Gold that turns out to be a tub of "I Can't Beleive It's Not Butter," Shamus can hold his own with the best of of the younger set. A rod that can be easily switched from his left hand to his right hand, allows swift and decisive gestures and casting of magical spells. Operate Shamus by placing your hand into the opening on his back and up into his head to work his mouth.

WITCH (GS2614)

"...double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldren bubble...."

This, of course is the classic recipe for witch's brew as conjured up by William Shakespeare. Our modern-day witch actually prefers recipes from Julia Child... "The ingredients are so much easier to obtain." she says. Martha here, is 28 inches tall and comes with a detachable arm rod, "The better to cast a spell upon you, sweetie." she says.

FAIRIES OF THE SEASONS

A fairy is a small, supernatural creature. In folklore, fairies are usually in human form but they have been known to disguise themselves if needed. They do live in their own magical realm but they also have been sighted among the flowers, woodlands, hills and streams of the real world. Our Spring Fairy (sold out, sorry) is dressed in lime green, sprinkled with pastel rosettes, and her slippers are golden. The Summer Fairy (GS2806) is dressed in emerald and plum with a rose decorated hair ribbon. Beautiful is our Autumn Fairy (GS2807) in a rich plum fantasy gown with her hair showered in autumn leaves. Our Winter Fairy (GS2808) wears a fur-trimmed satin gown emblazoned with snowflakes. Holly berries adorn her waist and headband and her shoes glisten in silver.

HAPPY DWARF (P19481)

Ha, ha. Hee, hee. Giggle, Hah. Ho, Ha. Tee Hee, Snicker, Chuckle, Ha, ha. We're not sure what makes Happy Dwarf so happy. Perhaps it's the fact that he no longer has to work in those small dark tunnels mining jewels. Or perhaps it's because his new job of mining data at Google is for a company with such a funny name. Or maybe it's just because his fuzzy white beard tickles him. Happy is 28 inches tall and has an arm rod that can be attached to either hand.
