Windy Hill Collection 16" Inch Standing Royal Blue Santa Claus Christmas Figurine Figure Decoration 41611

This Santa is adorable

This is a very beautiful Santa. His coat is well-made and absolutely lovely, and the props he is holding accentuate his outfit nicely. My mom loves it! Our only complaint about the design of this Santa is that his face is basically identical to another Windy Hill Santa we purchased a few years ago. This isn't inherently a bad thing -- we just prefer variety. But if similarly-faced Santas aren't a deal-breaker for you, the Windy Hill Collection makes some really nice, quality Santas, and I wholeheartedly recommend them.My major complaint with this purchase was the SHIPPING. My word. It was shipped in a box with a picture of the Santa on it! This was a gift for my mom, and the picture completely ruined the surprise. Granted, I didn't check the little "this is a gift" box on Amazon, so that's partially on me -- but who would have thought they would ship it in a box with a picture of the product directly on it?? That seems like a recipe for package-thievery. (Or maybe a deterrent? I guess if thieves KNOW it's a Santa and not an iPad, they'd be less likely to steal it. But still.) The box also wasn't sealed with tape or anything. It arrived perfectly intact, but I dunno -- the lack of tape feels like they're tempting fate a bit. Also, the feet were detached from the Santa when it arrived, and at first, I thought that was just so it would fit better in the box during shipping, but when we tried to reattach the feet, they wouldn't go in easily. One kept falling off, so we ended up just gluing them in. It's fine now, but I don't think that's how it's intended to work.Anyway, the Santa is very lovely and definitely worth the hassle. But... there could've been a little less hassle.

The box came partially opened when it arrived.Looks good.Excited to give as a Christmas present!!!!

But not to the extent I thought it would be at the price.I always wanted a Santa in blue

Color is an amazing royal blue with striking silver accessories on the Santa, like a bell and silver bows. I was delighted when I opened it and love looking at this Santa. Box was damaged when it arrived but fortunately Santa was not.
