Kurt Adler 15" Wooden Rockettes Nutcracker

For 20 years I have been in search of Christmas Wooden Soldier and ONLY the Nutcracker figurine would be found in stores as well as on line. FINALLY, I have fulfilled my sons’ Christmas wish made when he was 4 years old!!!!! Don’t understand why “The Nutcracker”, who I find it’s looks to be very disturbing, is preferred and more accessible than the Christmas Wooden Soldier.I love this purchase!! Very sturdy, well packaged and simply gorgeous!!!! If you are a true fan of the Laurel and Hardy Christmas movie, MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS, this is definitely a gift for you!LOVE IT!!!!!

Really nice and unique. I collect nutcracker and this is now one of my favorites.

I ordered the 1st one and it was damaged. It was missing part of the uniform. I ordered the second one came and I had to glue a part on. For the price, I was really disappointed in the quality of this it3em.

I order a new nutcracker every Christmas. This year I saw the ROCKETTE & fell in love with it! It arrived in 3 days in perfect condition (not sure why alot of other reviews had problems with quality). This one is a beautiful addition to my collection!!

Nutcracker is nice and has lots of detail but the wood may have flaws and paint work are inconsistent (I ordered more than one ). I still really like them.

I received this and it looks great from afar. The nose came in crooked so had to take it off and glue it back on correctly. The feather constantly flopped over sideways. Took that off and replaced it with a better quality feather. If I wasn't a New Yorker and KNOW about the Rockettes, I would have returned it and started over. But being in HI and having a piece of home during holidays still made this Nutcracker bring a smile to my face. STOP MAKING CRAP IN CHINA, KURT!

Since this is a Kurt Adler nutcracker, I expected high quality. However, I was thoroughly disappointed in the quality of the Rockettes Wooden Soldier Nutcracker. It was not packed well in the box and arrived with no cushioning to prevent the box from being squashed, which resulted in nicks and scratches to the item. There are areas of missing paint, as well as knots in the wood. An overabundance of glue was used to hold the hat strap and hat feather in place, leading to messy clumps on the face. The painted face details and stripes were messy and uneven.I had to glue the feet back into the base, since they had come apart during shipping. Overall, disappointed in the item. Had it not been a gift for a special soldier in our studio's nutcracker, I would have returned it without hesitation. Unfortunately this is the only nutcracker I've found that comes close to our costumes.

A very nice piece to add to my other nutcracker's.
