Benny is Ready to Make You Merry
After spending so much time in 2016 back collecting the
Snowtop Lodge series, I was quite anxious to see how the series would continue
in 2017. I was quite happy with Benny M. Merrymaker, which is a great thing since we got three different versions of
him.
If you aren’t familiar with this series, each one takes a
snow person and dresses them up to fit a certain theme – a theme that fits with
their name. In this case, Benny is going
to help make you merry by helping to decorate.
He’s even got a wreath he’s ready to give you. It’s actually a very nice holly wreath with
some berries and other decorations in it.
Berry is dressed for the cold with a festive Santa hat on his head and a
red and white striped scarf. The body is
painted with a scene that depicts some houses dressed in their Christmas
finery.
The ornament is wonderful as always. The detail on the wreath and the painting
truly blows me away. Benny’s smile is
infectious. This truly is a great
addition to the series.
And it’s fortunate that I like Benny since we got two other
versions of him. There was a member’s
only mini version, which is fun although not nearly as detailed. And while the Table Top sized Snowman Santa
only has echoes of Benny, it is easy to see his influence in that piece as
well. I should probably only count it as
a half, so I really do like all two and a half of them.
Like his Snowtop brethren, Benny has a nice flat base, so he
can easily sit out as part of a display.
You’ll also find the 13 in a Christmas tree series marker on his
bottom. If you are going to set him out,
do remember that most of the ornament is made from porcelain, so be sure you
set it in a place where it won’t get bumped and broken.
You’ll also want to keep that in mind if you hang him on
your tree. A sturdy branch will
obviously work best. Benny tips forward
slightly, but hit makes him seem more eager to hand you the wreath.
The artwork and fun details make Benny M. Merrymaker another
great entry in the Snowtop Lodge series.
If you are a fan, you’ll definitely be glad you added him to your
collection.
Here are the rest of the Snowtop Lodge ornaments.
