Are you tired of generic holiday merchandise that fails to represent your true connection?

True fans deserve a daily December ritual that honors the legacy of Christmastown with authentic, high-detail collectibles built to last season after season.
The Story Behind the Rankin Bass Stop-Motion Design
On December 6, 1964, NBC broadcast a holiday television special produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass that transformed pop culture forever. Written by Romeo Muller and featuring the iconic voice of Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman, the Animagic stop-motion classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer captured millions of hearts. From Hermey the aspiring dentist (voiced by Paul Soles) to Yukon Cornelius (voiced by Larry D. Mann) prospecting for silver and gold, every character produced in those original animation studios became an indelible piece of holiday lore.
This 24-day countdown box pays homage to every iconic frame of that 1964 masterpiece. Unboxing each door reveals precision miniature sculpts—from Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster before his teeth were pulled to Charlie-in-the-Box, Dolly for Sue, and the Spotted Elephant from King Moonracer’s sanctuary. Each figure brings authentic details like Rudolph’s polished crimson nose, Mrs. Claus’s festive apron, and North Pole signposts, letting you recreate the journey from the stormy night takeoff to the Island of Misfit Toys right on your mantle.
- Display: Express your lifelong passion for classic stop-motion animation with 24 individual figures representing the entire original 1964 voice cast lineup.

Care and Maintenance Guide
To maintain the vibrant paintwork and crisp sculpted detail of your figures, brush them gently using a soft-bristled dry brush or micro-duster. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, alcohol wipes, or scalding water, as these elements can soften synthetic materials and damage fine paint details. Keep figures stored away from direct radiant heat sources like fireplace hearths or space heaters to prevent material warping over time.
Each figure carries a solid, satisfying weight in hand, resting on a flat, balanced base engineered for steady setup across wooden shelving, winter mantel displays, or faux-snow arrangements. The calendar housing features heavy-duty cardstock with precision perforated doors that pull open cleanly without tearing adjacent days.
Are all 24 figures different, or are there duplicate designs inside the calendar?
Every single day contains a unique figure. The calendar features 24 distinct sculpts representing characters, props, and setting elements from the 1964 animated special with zero duplicate items.
What material are the collectible figures made from?
The figures are molded from high-grade PVC resin. This material provides structural stability, sharp character detail, and impact resistance while remaining light enough for tabletop and shelf setups.
What are the average dimensions of the individual figures?
Each miniature figure stands between 1.5 inches and 2.5 inches tall, perfectly proportioned to sit on holiday village trays, desk spaces, or mantle displays.
Can the inner tray be reused for future holiday countdowns?
Yes, the internal molded tray holds each figure firmly in place. You can pack the figurines back into their individual slots at the end of the season for safe, organized storage.
