Know it is maybe the wrong time to be thinking of the K & C Christmas release! Except at K & C where they are probably looking to get the 2025 figure completed. I received this set below recently and a friend came round with his little girl and she liked it, so i showed her pictures of the other Christmas sets, and she asked a couple of questions.
I know the quote from Matthew 'out of the mouths of babes.........', but her questions were spot on,
Firstly - "Should they not be Polar Bear Cubs?"
I answered "No, because these are the Teddy Bears that Children will get for Christmas!"
Straight back she came, "Oh but they might get cold and the big Polar Bears might attack them"
I said "It was OK as Santa had told them to behave and the little bears were not out in the snow for long".
She was OK with that and her final remark a bit later was, "I like the sets with Santa and delivering the gifts, but where is Rudolf and the other Raindeer?" Which has had me thinking? Will we see a Rudolf and/or other raindeers [see names at the bottom of the page] from K & C?
Upshot of the visit is I am going to have to buy another Christmas Teddy Bear set, as my friends little girl now has the set I previously bought. As her first ever Christmas decoration that is hers alone.
The 1820s saw the name from the poem "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" attributed to Clement Clarke Moore
