Note: This was a Christmas item that was broken. I did not break it to do this.
Add a darkly whimsical touch to your holiday display with this one-of-a-kind altered art music box. This unique piece features a vintage 1983 ceramic Santa Claus from the "Christmas Around the World" collection, repurposed with a festive yet spooky twist. Santa is depicted in a classic seated pose, but instead of a traditional toy, he is cradling and gesturing toward a shimmering, handcrafted styrofoam skull. This "You Better Watch Out" edition perfectly captures the mischievous side of the season, blending traditional holiday cheer with a hint of Halloween flair.
The base houses an original 1983 "Ted E. Bear: The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas" musical movement that remains in very good condition. When wound, it plays a clear and nostalgic rendition of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," adding an audible layer of irony to the scene. This piece was thoughtfully assembled using a previously damaged vintage item, giving it a second life as a quirky conversation starter for your mantle, shelf, or tiered tray.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old but the skull edition is new. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
