Each measure from 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" in height. Comes with all 5 seen. There are duplicates. 2 of them have boxes. Excellent condition. I will not split them up.
This charming lot includes five vintage bisque porcelain figurines from the Department 56 Merrymakers series, a collection known for its playful characters and festive holiday spirit. Included in this set are Martin the Mandolinist, Thaddeus the Tobogganist, and the Snowball Maker, alongside two duplicate pieces to round out a full seasonal display. These hand-painted miniatures range in height from 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches, making them the perfect scale for a North Pole Woods or Dickens’ Village scene.
Two of the figurines include their original boxes, providing extra value for collectors of the retired Merrymakers line. Each character features the soft matte finish and delicate pastel and jewel-toned paints that define 1990s Department 56 craftsmanship. This instant collection is being sold as a complete set of five and will not be separated. These figures are ideal for adding life and movement to a holiday mantel or a tiered winter display.
These items are vintage, over 25 years old. While the items appear to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. If I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
