Stars: 5 out of 5
Pros: Unique but still classic pose
Cons: Slightly
unbalanced, but not a major issue
The Bottom Line:
Queen will be jealous
If you don't buy ornament
Please pass the apples
When it comes to villains, Disney has made some comical
ones, some scary ones, and some mean ones.
And when it comes to pure mean, it’s hard to beat Snow White's Jealous Queen. After all, she desires to kill
Snow White just because she is beautiful.
Now how much more mean can you get?
The Evil Queen is also the subject of second in Hallmark’s
Unforgettable Villains series, and they’ve caught her in a classic pose. This is from the point in the movie where she
is mixing the potion she used to disguise herself when she went to poison Snow
White. (And really, for someone so vein,
she sure did turn herself ugly. What was
she thinking?) She is holding a goblet
with the potion in it up to the window so a lightning bolt can mix it well.
So that means that the Queen is standing with a goblet in
her right hand raised above her head.
She has a serious expression on her face as she is concentrating on what
she is doing. Her robes are flowing
around her feet.
I like this ornament because it isn’t the typical pose
Disney does with the Queen. Instead of
standing there holding the box she wants Snow White's heart to be in, she is
actually in action. The sculpt itself is
nice and captures the Queen and the moment well.
Because her robes are flowing so much, we can’t see her
feet. On the other hand, they make a
great base, so setting the ornament out to display year round is very easy.
If you want to hang her – on your tree that is – you’ll find
a hook at the top of her head hidden just behind her crown. Despite her pose with one hand out, she is
well balanced. Her robes must off-set
her hand because, while she does tip, it's not by much.
And yes, the series markings and other copyright information
are on the bottom of the ornament.
Be sure to check out all of the Unforgettable Villains series.
