Santa Claus with Sleigh
NOCH packages this set in a hard plastic box with their yellow labeling. The models are ensconced in a form-fitted clear cradle.
The set is fully assembled. Four reindeer (two poses) are attached to eveners and a drawbar pole attaches them to the sleigh.
A nicely shaped sleigh is full of Santa and presents. The jolly old elf, chubby and plump, is riding high, left arm in the air.
Detail and Decoration
The reindeer have some texture for their coats, a rack of antlers, and a strap for the harness. Factory-painted, they are a fawn color with dark brown accents for the nose, eyes, antlers, and hooves.
Santa is rotund and dressed in his traditional red suit with white trim, and black belt. The beard of his chin was as white as snow.
The sleigh and its runners are trimmed in gold. The ensemble invokes the mind's eye of Santa and his sleigh.
Conclusion
Santa Claus with Sleigh is a fine Christmas themed set from
NOCH. It is pre-painted and nicely detailed. It should bring a touch of magic to your layout. Recommended.
